A. 
Purpose. This article is designed to permit modification of the strict application of the provisions of this chapter for the following purposes and when such modification is consistent with the Town of Ghent Comprehensive Plan and would conform to the appropriate and orderly development of the Town and the neighborhood:
(1) 
To permit tracts of land of considerable size in the RRA-1, RRA-2, HR, and VR zoning districts to be developed and designed as harmonious units.
(2) 
To permit the establishment of uses of land, buildings and other structures that are not otherwise permitted when such uses would be beneficial to the Town.
(3) 
To permit the design and construction of buildings, structures and facilities that otherwise do not conform to the present area, location and bulk standards and which by virtue of their location, orientation, texture, materials, landscaping or other features demonstrate design merit.
(4) 
To permit a residential development to include mixed uses to create a live/work environment.
B. 
Objectives. In order to carry out the intent of this article, a planned unit development district shall achieve the following objectives:
(1) 
A development pattern that has design, aesthetic qualities, scale and density that is consistent with the small town, rural character of Ghent.
(2) 
A development pattern that is in harmony with any adjacent or nearby agricultural operations.
(3) 
A density of development that does not adversely impacts traffic conditions.
(4) 
The preservation of environmental features, suitable open space, and recreation areas.
(5) 
A development that provides a maximum choice in the types of housing, lot sizes, and community facilities for a variety of income levels.
(6) 
More convenience in location of accessory commercial and service areas.
(7) 
An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets.
(8) 
An opportunity to provide for a live/work environment.
C.

Such land shall be held in corporate ownership by the owner of lots within the development or, if the Town Board, in its sole discretion, agrees, may be deeded to the Town or a special district created by the Town. The Town hereby retains the right to refuse to accept such land. If such land is to be held in corporate ownership the developer shall incorporate into the deeds of all property within the development a clause giving to the owners an interest in such open land which shall be used for the recreational or agricultural purposes only. No structure other than those incidental to the recreational, preservation of natural features or agricultural use shall be permitted thereon. Such land shall be suitably maintained.
(9) 
Districts. Application for a Planned Residential District may only be made if the subject property is located exclusively within an agricultural or residential zone.
(10) 
Low-impact business uses. Low-impact business uses which are compatible with the district and offer goods or services to the residents of the district may be permitted where it is shown that such uses are secondary to the residential district and contribute to the project for the benefit of the residents of said district. Live/work developments in which the residents of the PRD can walk or bike to work on site are acceptable provided the business use is also of low-impact, nonnuisance uses. The number of business uses shall not constitute more than 20% of the total number of units to be constructed or developed in the district.

E. 
Prior to occupancy, a mobile or manufactured home shall have sleeping accommodations, flush toilet, a tub or shower, kitchen facilities, plumbing and heating connections for attachment to outside systems and shall otherwise fully comply with the requirements of the State Building Code.
A. 
There are two levels of home occupation, HO-1 and HO-2. Home Occupation-1 (HO-1) is limited to a use occurring fully within the principal dwelling on the lot and shall be considered a permitted use. Those home occupations occurring wholly or partially in an outbuilding shall be considered as Home Occupation-2 (HO-2), and which may only be authorized by special use permit granted by the Planning Board.
B. 
All home occupations must comply with the definition set forth in § 190-2 of this chapter. A use permit is required for all home occupations. Application for a use permit shall be made to the Zoning Enforcement Officer. The application shall include a description of the proposed use and shall address each of the items listed below. If, after such use permit is granted, it is subsequently determined that the home occupation use no longer complies with any of these conditions, the Zoning Enforcement Officer may revoke such use permit. If this occurs, the applicant may appeal such determination to the Zoning Board of Appeals, provided that such appeal is taken within 30 days of the decision of the Zoning Enforcement Officer.
(1) 
The following additional requirements shall be applicable for all home occupations. The applicant shall have the burden of establishing, by clear and convincing proof, that the proposed home occupation will comply with all of these items.
(a) 
Not more than two home occupations may occur on a single residential lot.
(b) 
A home occupation shall not cause a significant increase in neighborhood traffic.
(c) 
There may be no more than two vehicles used in connection with the operation of the business on the premises. Any such vehicles shall be screened or stored in an enclosed structure. However, this does not refer to a passenger vehicle and/or pickup truck used by the occupants for their personal use.
(d) 
A sign is allowed, which shall not exceed dimensions two feet by three feet and may be double-sided. It may be located in the required front yard, provided that it is set back at least 15 feet from all property lines, and is not more than six feet above the natural ground level at its location. The sign shall not be lighted.
(e) 
Retail sales shall not be permitted on the premises except for small scale sales of goods actually produced on the premises or small scale sales of goods incidental to the main service provided.
(f) 
There may be no exterior storage of materials or exterior variations from the residential character of the neighborhood. Generally, the display of goods in the front yard of the premises shall not be permitted. However, the applicant may have a sample display of goods in the front yard where the applicant can demonstrate that this will not have an adverse impact on the residential area and that such display will be maintained in a neat and orderly condition. Goods for retail sale only may be displayed elsewhere on the property if appropriately covered by a structure and/or screened by a fence or natural vegetation, provided that outdoor display of goods does not occur within 40 feet of an adjoining lot.
(g) 
The proposed home occupation shall not produce any unusual appearance, noise, vibration, smoke, dust, odors, heat, glare or electrical disturbances that would exceed those normally produced by a residence.
(h) 
Storage, use and disposal of hazardous substances and petroleum products must meet applicable state and federal regulations.
(i) 
Any new construction undertaken to accommodate the home occupation activity shall be wholly consistent with the character of a residential premises.
(j) 
No more than three persons, other than members of the household occupying such dwelling, shall be employed on the residential premises in the conduct of all home occupations thereon; provided, however, that the applicant shall have the right to appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals which, after public hearing, may allow more than three persons in such circumstances where the Zoning Board of Appeals has determined that the use of the property, with such additional employees, still qualifies as a home occupation under the definitions and requirements set forth in this chapter. Should the Zoning Board of Appeals determine that more than three persons other than members of the household may be employed at the property in the conduct of such home occupation(s), the Zoning Board of Appeals shall set the maximum number of persons, other than members of the household occupying the dwelling, who may be employed on the residential premises in such circumstances.
(k) 
There may be no sharing, letting or subletting of space for use by others in connection with a home occupation.
(l) 
There shall be sufficient off-street parking to avoid parking congestion in the public roadway and in order to adequately accommodate the anticipated use of the property in connection with such home occupation.
(2) 
The following shall apply to HO-1: a home occupation within a principal dwelling shall not be permitted where more than 1/3 of the total square footage is utilized in connection therewith.
(3) 
The following shall apply to HO-2: a home occupation in outbuildings shall be limited to a maximum of 1,000 square feet and the structure shall otherwise comply with the dimensional requirements in the applicable zone. However, the Planning Board may grant an area variance with respect to any setback requirement.
A. 
A home occupied business (HOB) involves a lot containing both the principal residence of the owner/operator of the business, and an outbuilding in which such owner conducts such business. Where the principal residence is separated from an outbuilding by an existing Town, county or state road, and where both buildings are in existence as of April 19, 2001, both lots together shall be considered a single lot for purposes of an HOB permit, if both lots have the same tax parcel identification number. The review process for a home occupied business shall be conducted by the Planning Board which may authorize such use by special permit in the RRA-1 and RRA-2 zones. An application to the Planning Board for a special permit for a home occupied business shall include a site plan of the property, drawn to scale by a professional. In general, the Planning Board in granting such a special permit shall determine that the applicant has established by clear and convincing evidence that the impact to the residential area is acceptable, in the sense that, although there is the possibility of generating some impact, the overall use of the lot will not have an adverse impact on the present character of the neighborhood. In addition, the granting of a permit for a home occupied business is subject to the following requirements and provisions. The applicant must establish compliance with these requirements and provisions by clear and convincing evidence.
(1) 
The residence and the business structure may not be subdivided from each other while the business use is in force. If subdivided, the business use may not continue nor shall the same be considered to be grandfathered to become a separate structure.
(2) 
The lot must be a minimum of four acres.
(3) 
The business use shall be a nonnuisance use in accordance with the definition for nonnuisance commercial business, § 190-2.
(4) 
The owner/resident of the residence must be the active and primary owner/operator of the business.
(5) 
The business structure shall be located to the rear of the residence, except for a structure in existence as of the effective date of this chapter. This limitation shall also not apply to any outbuilding which is located farther than 200 feet from the front yard boundary line.
(6) 
The business structure shall have a minimum setback of 100 feet from any boundary line. This requirement shall not be applicable for structures existing as of the effective date of this chapter.
(7) 
All trash and waste must be kept in covered containers and disposed of as required. No trash or waste materials may be disposed of on the parcel.
(8) 
Noise. The applicant must demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that there shall be no noise emanating from the business which is excessive, unnecessary or unusually loud due to volume, intermittence, beat frequency or shrillness, such that the same shall be perceptible outside the property from where it originates.
(9) 
Parking. There shall be one space for each employee plus two additional spaces, and in addition there shall be at least two parking spaces for the residents.
(10) 
Employees. The Planning Board shall determine the maximum number of employees allowed to work at the premises, including the proprietor(s). Such determination shall be based upon each of the factors set forth herein and the requirement that the impact to the residential area is acceptable as provided for herein. In no event shall more than nine employees be allowed to work at the premises, including the proprietor(s).
(11) 
Exterior lighting must be employed so as not to provide excess glare or lighting directed toward an adjoining property.
(12) 
Screening. Minimum screening shall be planting or fencing of such type, height, spacing and arrangement as will effectively screen the business activity from any adjoining lot.
(13) 
The business use shall not be entitled to any further accessory uses or additional structures for the business use.
(14) 
Sign. A sign is allowed, which shall not exceed dimensions two feet by three feet and may be double-sided. It may be located in the required front yard, provided that it is set back at least 15 feet from all property lines, and is not more than six feet above the natural ground level at its location. The sign shall not be lighted.
(15) 
A home occupied business shall not cause a significant increase in neighborhood traffic.
(16) 
The Planning Board shall determine the number of vehicles that may be used or stored at the property in connection with the operation of the business. In making such determination, the Board shall consider the size of the lot, the location for parking, and the overall impact the storage and/or use of such vehicles will have with regard to the use of the lot and the present character of the neighborhood. All such vehicles shall be adequately screened or stored in an enclosed structure. The maximum number of vehicles which can be used or stored on the property in connection with the operation of the business shall be four. However, this does not refer to a passenger vehicle and/or pickup truck used by the occupants for their personal use.
(17) 
The proposed business use shall not produce any unusual appearance, noise, vibration, smoke, dust, odors, heat, glare or electrical disturbances that would have an adverse impact on the present character of the neighborhood.
(18) 
Storage and use and disposal of hazardous substances and petroleum products must meet applicable state and federal regulations.
(19) 
Generally, any outbuilding constructed after the effective date of this chapter which is sought to be utilized as a home occupied business shall not be greater than 1,600 square feet. However, the Planning Board may permit a larger structure taking into consideration the proposed location, size of the lot, adequate setbacks, screening and any other pertinent factors and conditions as set forth herein in support of the requirement that the applicant shall establish by clear and convincing evidence that the size of such building will not have an adverse impact on the present character of the neighborhood. This provision regarding the size of the outbuilding shall not be applicable to existing buildings as of the effective date of this chapter, provided that this shall not relieve the applicant from complying with all of the other terms and provisions required herein. However, in no event shall any such structure exceed 5,000 square feet.
B. 
If the Planning Board determines that all of the requirements as set forth herein are met, a special permit will be issued for a period of up to one year, extendable every December 1. For extension, the owner/operator will make an application for such extension to the Zoning Enforcement Officer. The Zoning Enforcement Officer will ascertain (by inspection) that all conditions (general and specific) of the permit are being met. If conformance is determined, then the Zoning Enforcement Officer will renew the special permit for another year. If the Zoning Enforcement Officer believes that not all conditions of the permit are being met, or if there are other zoning violations on the subject property, the Zoning Enforcement Officer shall deny the renewal of the permit and the use of the property for home occupied business shall cease.
C. 
The applicant has the right to request a review of any determination by the Zoning Enforcement Officer with respect to renewal of the permit to the Zoning Board if the Zoning Enforcement Officer determines nonconformance, with which the applicant does not agree. Such request must be made within 30 days of such determination by the Zoning Enforcement Officer. The applicant may also make a new application for a special permit at any time, should conditions change and the applicant find that he/she is unable to conform to the conditions of the current special permit.
D. 
The fee for a special permit for a home occupied business and the fee for renewal of any such permit shall be as set from time to time by resolution of the Town Board.
E. 
The construction of any building(s) or structure(s) by the applicant in connection with any permit issued for a home occupied business shall not be considered as grounds for a variance under any other provision(s) of this chapter or for any proposed use which is not permitted under this chapter, should the special use permit for home occupied business be discontinued.
A. 
Farm worker housing. Single- and double-wide manufactured homes may be used for farm worker housing. All New York State Fire Prevention and Uniform Building Code requirements for manufactured homes shall be met. Farm worker housing shall meet all Columbia County Department of Health requirements for water and septic systems.
(1) 
All modular, double-wide manufactured, and stick-built housing to be erected for farm worker housing shall be sited so that all density, frontage and setback regulations of the Town of Ghent Zoning Law shall be met so that a future subdivision would result in a conforming lot.
(2) 
Single-wide manufactured homes may be used only for farm worker housing as an accessory use to an active farm operation. In that circumstance, such structures do not need to meet density requirements but shall be set back a minimum of 100 feet from all side and rear property lines, 50 feet from public road rights-of-way, and 50 feet from other dwelling units or agricultural structures. Any single-wide manufactured home used for farm worker housing shall be removed from the premises within six months of cessation of a farm operation, or when such housing no longer is needed for farm workers.
B. 
Farm stands and farm markets.
(1) 
As per Article 17 of the NYS Agriculture and Markets Law, all packaged food products sold at farm stands and farm markets must be properly labeled in accordance with NYS food labeling requirements. No packaging, cutting, slicing, or portioning of agricultural products or ready-to-eat foods is permitted at farm stands or farm markets unless the proper retail food store sanitary facilities are provided as per Department Circular 962 rules and regulations related to retail food stores. Circular 962 outlines that certain food products may not be sold at farm stands and farm markets unless the proper refrigeration or preparation methods as per NYS Sanitary Rules for Direct Marketing are met.
(2) 
Structures used for farm markets must meet the State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, Fire Code and Health Department requirements and receive a building permit from the Town of Ghent.
(3) 
All front and side yard required setbacks as per the district schedule of this zoning law shall be met for farm stands and farm markets. When a site plan review is required for a farm market, the Planning Board shall ensure that there will be adequate ingress, egress, parking, and site distances to ensure vehicular and pedestrian safety. All parking for a farm stand shall be provided outside of the roadway or right of way so that no parked cars are in any travel or right of way at any time.
(4) 
All signage shall meet requirements of Article VIII (Signs) of this zoning law.
(5)

(7) 
Farm markets shall show proof that facilities are in compliance with local, county and state health requirements.
(8) 
Such use will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic or present a hazard by way of its proximity to the highway and in this regard that adequate pull-off and parking area is provided.
(9) 
Such use will not present a nuisance or be objectionable to neighboring uses in terms of traffic, noise or unsightliness.
