Article XI: Planning Board
Chapter 150: Zoning Article XI Planning Board
A Planning Board, as formerly established , is hereby continued pursuant to § 7-718 of the Village Law, which Board shall have the powers as set forth in § 7-725 of the Village Law[1] and as provided in §§ 150-29 and 150-30 of this chapter.
Editor's Note: Section 7-725 of the Village Law was repealed by L. 1992, c. 694. See now § 7-725-a.
Upon application and after public notice and hearing, the Planning Board may authorize the issuance by the Building Inspector of a permit for any of the conditional uses for which this chapter requires such permit in the district in which such use is proposed to be located. In approving any such use, the Planning Board shall take into consideration the public health, safety and welfare and the comfort and convenience of the public in general and of the residents of the immediate neighborhood in particular, and may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards as may be required in order that the result of its action may, to the maximum extent possible, further the expressed intent of this chapter and the accomplishment of the following objectives in particular:
That all proposed structures, equipment and material are readily accessible for fire and police protection.
That the proposed use is of such location, size and character as will, in general, be in harmony with the appropriate and orderly development of the district in which it is proposed to be situated and will not be detrimental to the orderly development of adjacent properties in accordance with the zoning classification of such properties.
That, in addition to the above, in the case of any use proposed to be located in or directly adjacent to a residential district:
The location and size of such use, the nature and intensity of operations involved in or conducted in connection therewith, its site layout and its relation to access streets are such that both pedestrian and vehicular traffic to and from the use and the assembly of persons in connection therewith will not be hazardous or inconvenient to or incongruous with the said residential district or conflict with the normal traffic of the neighborhood.
The location and height of buildings, the location, nature and height of walls and fences and the nature and extent of landscaping on the site are such that the use will not hinder or discourage the appropriate development and use of adjacent land and buildings.
The number of buildings, structures or dwelling units, as the case may be, to ensure against overcrowding of land or the undue concentration of population.
[Added 6-19-1979 by L.L. No. 2-1979]
Each application for a conditional use shall be accompanied by a proposed plan showing the size and location of the lot and the location of all buildings and proposed facilities, including access drives, parking areas and all streets within 200 feet of the lot.
Should any conditional use approval involve any of the areas specified in § 150-37, then the matter shall be referred prior to final action by the Planning Board to the Suffolk County Planning Board in accordance with §§ 1322 and 1323 of Article XIII of the Suffolk County Charter.
Any use for which a conditional use permit may be granted shall be deemed to be a conforming use in the district in which such use is located, provided that such permit shall be deemed to affect only the lot or portion thereof for which such permit shall have been granted.
The Planning Board may require that conditional use permits be periodically renewed. Such renewal shall be granted following due public notice and hearing and may be withheld only upon a determination by the Planning Board to the effect that such conditions as may have been prescribed by the Planning Board in conjunction with the issuance of the original permit have not been or are being no longer complied with. In such cases a period of 60 days shall be granted the applicant for full compliance prior to the revocation of said permit.
The proposed development shall be designed in a manner minimizing ecological deterioration and giving due regard to and protection of the natural resources of soil, air and water.
In all cases where this chapter requires approval of site development plans by the Planning Board, no building permit shall be issued by the Building Inspector except upon authorization of and in conformity with the plans approved by the Planning Board.
Objectives. In considering and acting upon site development plans, the Planning Board shall take into consideration the public health, safety and welfare and the comfort and convenience of the public in general and of the residents of the immediate neighborhood in particular, and may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards as may be required in order that the result of its action may, to the maximum extent possible, further the expressed intent of this chapter and the accomplishment of the following objectives in particular:
Traffic access. That all proposed traffic accessways are adequate but not excessive in number; adequate in width, grade, alignment and visibility; not located too near street corners or other places of public assembly; and meet other similar safety considerations.
Landscaping and screening. That all playground, parking and service areas are reasonably screened at all seasons of the year from the view of adjacent residential lots and streets and that the general landscaping of the site is in character with that generally prevailing in the neighborhood. Existing trees over 12 inches in diameter measured three feet above the base of the trunk shall be retained to the maximum extent possible.
That the proposed development is designed in a manner minimizing ecological deterioration and giving due regard to and protection of the natural resources of soil, air and water.
No building permit shall be issued for any structure covered by this section until an approved site development plan or approved amendment of any such plan has been secured by the applicant from the Planning Board and presented to the Building Inspector.
No certificate of occupancy shall be issued for any structure or use of land covered by this section unless the structure is completed or the land is developed or used in accordance with an approved site development plan or approved amendment of any such plan.
Should any site development plan approval involve any of the areas specified in § 150-37, then the matter shall be referred prior to final action by the Planning Board to the Suffolk County Planning Board in accordance with Article XIII of the Suffolk County Charter.
Presubmission conference. Prior to the submission of a site development plan, the applicant shall meet in person with the Planning Board. The purpose of such conference shall be to discuss proposed uses or development in order to determine which of the site development plan elements listed in Subsection D below shall be submitted to the Planning Board in order for said Board to determine conformity with the provisions and intent of this chapter.
Within six months following the presubmission conference, the site development plan and any related information shall be submitted to the Building Inspector in triplicate at least 15 days prior to the Planning Board meeting at which approval is requested. If not submitted within this six-month period, another presubmission conference shall be required.
The Building Inspector shall certify on each site development plan or amendment whether or not the plan meets the requirements of all provisions of this chapter other than those of this section regarding site development approval.
The Building Inspector shall retain one copy and transmit two copies of the certified site development plan to the Secretary of the Planning Board at least seven days prior to the Planning Board meeting at which approval is requested.
The Planning Board shall act to approve or disapprove any such site development plan within 60 days after the meeting at which approval is requested. Failure to act within 60 days shall be deemed approval. However, the time period can be extended by mutual agreement between the applicant and the Planning Board. Planning Board disapproval shall include written findings upon any site development plan element found contrary to the provisions or intent of this chapter. In reviewing the application, the Planning Board may secure the advice or assistance of one or more expert consultants as qualified to advise as to whether a proposed use will conform to the requirements of this chapter. The assistance of a consultant, if sought, must be obtained within 10 days of the receipt of the application. Such consultant shall report within 30 days after receipt of such request whether or not the use applied for will be operated in conformance with the performance standards and, if not, what modifications in design or operation would be necessary for conformance. A copy of the report of such consultants shall be furnished to the Planning Board, Building Inspector and applicant.[1]
The Planning Board may require that site development plan approval be periodically reviewed.
Site development plan elements. The applicant shall cause a site development plan map to be prepared by a civil engineer, surveyor, land planner, architect or other competent person.
