ARTICLE 17 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AREA (PDA)
(This is a completely new article; all other articles have been
moved ahead one'digit in order to present this article in°z,'the
appropriate position.)
The purpose of this Article is to introduce a flexibility in
conventional land use and design regulations by employing performance criteria
established to encourage development in an imaginative and innovative manner
while, through the process of review, discussion, insuring efficient investment
in public improvements, a more suitable environment and protection of community
interest.
This section recognizes that a rigid set of space requirements along
with bulk and use specifications would frustrate the application of the Planned
Development concept. Therefore, where this concept is deemed appropriate by the
Town Board, the set of conventional land use activities and area specifications
set forth elsewhere in this ordinance are hereby replaced by an approval process
in which the Planning Board may consider innovative approaches to plans on parks
of over 15 mobile home stands.
