Intent.

The LC District shall be established by the Federal Flood Insurance Administration utilizing the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study. This district has been established as an overlay district over other districts as shown on the Town of South Bristol Land Conservation District Map.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: The Land Conservation District Map is on file in the Town offices and may be examined there during regular office hours.
B. 
Permitted principal and accessory structure/uses none.
C. 
Special uses shall be as follows:
(1) 
Any permitted or accessory uses permitted in the established district.
(2) 
Any sewage system or replacement of an existing system.
D. 
Areas of special flood hazard (floodways). The following regulations apply to areas located within the floodway:
(1) 
No encroachment, fill, new construction, substantial improvement or other development shall be permitted unless certified by a licensed engineer demonstrating that such encroachment, fill, construction, improvement or other development shall not result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrences of the base flood discharge.
(2) 
If such certification is satisfied by a licensed engineer, all new construction and substantial improvements shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of this section.
E. 
Provisions for flood hazard reduction. Reference is made to Chapter 88, Flood Damage Prevention.
Uses within this district shall be governed by Chapter 55 of the Code of the Town of South Bristol.
A. 
Intent. Within existing districts or districts that may be established in the future, it is intended to permit establishment of new PD Planned Development Districts. These districts are intended for specialized or multiuse purposes where tracts of land suitable in location, area and character for the uses and structures proposed are to be planned and developed on a unified basis. PD Districts shall be related to the general development pattern and the objectives of this chapter.
B. 
Relation of PD regulations to other regulations. The PD regulations that follow shall apply generally to the initiation and regulation of all planned development districts. Where there are conflicts between the special PD regulations herein and general zoning, subdivision or other regulations or requirements, these regulations shall apply unless the Town Board shall find, in the particular case, that provisions herein do not serve public purposes to a degree at least equivalent to such general zoning, subdivision or other regulations or requirements.
C. 
PD Districts: where and how permitted.
(1) 
Planned development districts may hereafter be established by amendment to the Official Zoning Map according to the requirements and procedures set forth herein.
(2) 
PD Districts may be approved in all districts. Property proposed as PD Districts must contain a minimum of 25 contiguous acres.
(3) 
PD Districts shall be appropriately located with respect to intended functions as they relate to existing and proposed public/private facilities as well as the following specific requirements:
(a) 
Relation to major transportation facilities. PD Districts shall be located near arterial and collector streets and shall be so designed as to provide direct access without creating traffic along adjacent streets/roads in the residential neighborhoods outside the district.
(b) 
Relation to public utilities, facilities and services. PD Districts shall be located in relation to sanitary sewers, waterlines, storm and surface drainage systems and other utility systems and installations in such a way that neither extension nor enlargement of such systems will be required resulting in higher net public cost or earlier incursion of public cost than would similar development permitted under current zoning for the area. However, location of PD Districts may be approved if applicants will provide private facilities, utilities and/or services approved by appropriate public agencies or make provisions acceptable to the Town for offsetting any added net cost or early commitment of public funds made necessary by such development. In computing the net public costs, the difference in anticipated public installation, operation and maintenance costs and difference in anticipated public revenue from such sources shall be considered. Expenses involved in making such determinations shall be paid by the applicant. Final determination shall be made by the Town Board.
(c) 
If a proposed PD District will be located within an approved area of a corporation formed pursuant to the New York State Transportation Corporation Law, the applicant may propose to have the applicable transportation corporation provide the PD District whatever utility, facility or service such transportation corporation is authorized to provide so long as proof is submitted, satisfactory to the Town, that the PD District would be wholly located within such approved area, that the transportation corporation has sufficient capacity to provide the utility, facility or service to the PD District and that the transportation corporation has agreed to provide the utility, facility or service to the PD District if the rezoning and the site plan are both approved.
D. 
Physical character of the site: relation to surrounding property.
(1) 
Property. The site shall be suitable for development in the manner proposed, without creating hazards to persons or property from probability of flooding, erosion or other dangers, annoyances or inconveniences. The condition of soil, groundwater level, drainage and topography shall all be appropriate to both type and pattern of use intended. If appropriate to the type of planned development, properties to be included in PD Districts may be divided by streets, alleys, rights-of-way or easements, waterways or other separation but shall be so located, dimensioned and arranged as to permit proper planning and development of the properties as well as to provide necessary protection against conflicting uses in the district and uses in surrounding areas.
(2) 
Reduction and addition to minimum areas generally required. In connection with particular PD rezoning proposals, the Planning Board may recommend and the Town Board may approve as part of the amending action lesser areas to be rezoned upon a finding in the particular case that special circumstances exist, such as impracticality of coordinating development of small remaining portions that might otherwise be required with the planned development, and that other requirements can be met in such lesser areas.
E. 
Addition to PD Districts. Where there are proposed additions to existing PD Districts that have similar uses of the existing district, PD amendments allowing such additions may be made without regard to the minimum area requirements set forth herein.
F. 
Application and procedures for PD amendments. Applications shall be submitted as for other amendments to the Town Board. Materials submitted with the application shall include all plans, maps, studies and reports that may reasonably be required to make the determination called for in the particular case, with sufficient copies for necessary referrals and records. In addition, the following shall be required:
(1) 
A precise statement describing the type of PD District amendment being requested.
(2) 
A preliminary development concept plan (sketch plan) drawn to scale which shall show: the location of the various uses and their areas in acres; existing watercourses; the general outlines of the interior roadways and all existing private/public rights-of-way and easements; overall layout of and principal ties to the community's transportation, water supply, sewage disposal and drainage systems; and if the development is to be phased, a description and graphic representation of the phasing of the entire proposal in terms of length of time, type and manner of units or types of uses or activities completed per phase.
(3) 
An area map showing the applicant's entire adjacent holdings, that portion of the applicant's property under consideration, all properties, subdivisions, streets and easements within 500 feet of the applicant's property and uses of abutting lands.
(4) 
If residential in nature, a delineation of the number of residential units, their dwelling type, the density of each dwelling type and the overall density of the proposal; if multiple use in nature, a delineation of all such uses, i.e., commercial, industrial, outdoor recreation, etc., including density, etc.
(5) 
A general description of the provisions of community facilities, such as schools, fire protection, services and cultural facilities, if any, or an indication of how these needs are proposed to be accommodated.
(6) 
An economic analysis of the proposal, including projected costs, tax impacts, potential market area and preliminary development schedule.
(7) 
A report identifying all property owners within the area of the proposed district and giving evidence of unified control of its entire area. The report shall state agreement of all present property owners and/or their successors in title:
(a) 
According to the regulations in effect when the map amendment creating the PD District is passed, with such modifications as are set by the Town Board in the course of such action.
(b) 
To provide bonds, dedications, guaranties, agreements, contracts and deed restrictions acceptable to the Town Board for completion of such development according to approved plans and for continuing operation and maintenance of such areas, facilities and services as are not to be provided, operated or maintained at general public expense and such dedications, contributions or guaranties as are required for provision of needed public facilities and services.
(c) 
To bind further successors in title to any commitments made under Subsection F(7)(a) or (b) above.
(8) 
Evidence as required by the Town Board of the applicant's ability to complete the proposed development.
(9) 
A statement by the applicant setting forth reasons why, in his opinion, the proposal would be in the public interest.
G. 
Preliminary review of application. On receipt of the application from the Town Board and preliminary concept plan and proposals as indicated above, the Planning Board shall study the proposal to determine conformity with the zoning and other regulations applicable in the case.
H. 
Preliminary conferences with applicants. Following such study, unless complete conformity is found, the applicant shall be notified, in writing, of the discrepancies and offered the opportunity to meet with the Planning Board to review the proposal in order that it may be brought, as nearly as possible, into conformity with requirements and/or define specifically modifications of regulations that seem justified in view of equivalent service of public purposes by the proposal. Changes may be made in the original proposal and additional material may be requested to guide in determinations. In the course of such preliminary conferences, any recommendations for changes shall be recorded in writing, with reasons therefor, and shall become part of the record in the case. Applicants shall indicate, in writing, their agreement to such recommendations or their disagreement and reasons therefor, and such responses by applicants shall also be included in the record.
I. 
Planning Board recommendations. At such time as further conferences appear unnecessary or as requested any time by the applicant, the Planning Board shall prepare a report to the Town Board containing findings which shall include the following:
(1) 
Suitability of the tract for the general type of PD zoning proposed physical characteristics of the land and relation of the proposed development to surrounding areas and existing and probable future development.
(2) 
Suitability in relation to major roads, utilities and other facilities and services.
(3) 
Recommendations relating to adequacy of evidence on unified control and suitability of any proposed agreements, contracts, deed restrictions, sureties, dedications, contributions, guaranties or other instruments or the need for such instruments or for amendments in those proposed.
(4) 
Recommendations as to the desirable specific modifications in regulations, based on determinations that such modifications are necessary or justified in the particular case, by demonstration that the public purposes of PD or other regulations would be met to at least an equivalent degree by proposals of the applicant. Based on these findings, the Planning Board shall either recommend approval of the PD amendment as proposed, approval conditioned on specific stated modifications or its disapproval, with reasons recorded therefor.
J. 
Action by the Town Board. The action taken by the Town Board shall be in the same manner as for other zoning amendments. The Town Board may grant the application in accord with PD and other applicable regulations and with any specific modifications thereto or may deny the application. If the amendment is granted, the Town Board shall approve the preliminary development concept plan or indicate required modifications, with these modifications being binding in any determinations concerning final development plans. If modifications are required, the Town Board shall officially state its reasons therefor in the record. If the amendment is granted, the development shall be required to be in accord with final development plans meeting the requirements of these and other regulations as supplemented or modified by the Town Board in the particular case as part of the amending action and shall conform to any time or priority limitations established by the Town Board on beginning and completion of the development as a whole or in specified stages. At the time of amendment, the Town Board shall pass upon the adequacy and substance of any agreements, contracts, deed restrictions, sureties or other instruments involved, and, before development may proceed, such instruments shall be approved by appropriate officers and agencies.
K. 
Planning Board action on approval of final plans.
(1) 
Approval of final plans and reports. After a PD District has been established, no building permit shall be issued unless the Planning Board has approved final plans and reports for the development as a whole or in stages which it deems satisfactory in relation to the total development. The form and content of such final plans and reports shall be as prescribed in this chapter, subdivision regulations or other regulations involved or for the particular PD District.
(2) 
The approval of final plans and reports shall be based on substantial compliance with the concept plan and with any modifications required by the Town Board applying at the time the land was zoned to PD status. Upon approval of final plans and reports, building permits shall be issued, provided that any requirements concerning the order and location in which building permits are to be issued in the particular PD District shall be observed. Except as provided below, final plans and reports approved shall be binding on the applicants and any successors in title so long as PD zoning applies to the land.

A. 
Intent. The Tower District (TD) is intended to protect and enhance other existing zoning districts within the Town and promote the health, safety and general welfare of the Town and its residents by recognizing that the Town has within its geographical boundaries certain areas of high elevation which are a particularly suitable environment for antenna towers and that such areas are not normally located along major and secondary thoroughfares or within close proximity to residential, commercial, cultural and/or employment areas.
This district has been established as an overlay district over other districts as shown on the Town of South Bristol Agricultural Overlay District Map.[1] (See Chapter 56.)
