The Board requested to add more specific language, to better guide the Marina on how to proceed legally and assist the Code Enforcement Officer with clear information. Continued Discussion on the Proposed Zoning Map Michael Long addressed the status of the Land Use Ordinance /Zoning Update. The 2018 adopted Comprehensive Plan was based on a few basic premises. • The proposed zoning boundaries should be followed by tax parcel boundaries as much as practical.Several areas currently have setbacks along a road and this causes multiple zone districts in some parcels,which can cause conflicts. • The Lakeshore zone will be split into a L1 - (20,000 SF Minimum) smaller lots already developed and L2- (40,000 SF Minimum) larger lots to meet the Tompkins County Health Dept. requirements for septic systems. • There will be a new AG-Agriculture Zone based upon the adopted Ag Plan with recommendations form the town appointed Ag Committee. The RA-Rural Agriculture Zone is the balance of the area and will continue to offer several different uses. • IR-Industrial Research Zone will be expanded from Dutch Mill Road to the north for potential business expansion. Convert the area around the Town Highway Garage and Verizon to Commercial-more appropriate designation. Also,permit residential housing to be built in all the zones including the IR Zone. • Commercial Areas-eliminate the B2 zone into one B- Commercial Zone. Include Finger Lakes Marine (2 parcels) and Portland Point parcel as Commercial-this will allow the Marina use to be removed from the Lakeshore zone and limit to B and IR zones. Drake Road B2- transition to R2-Moderate Residential Density within the area where new water lines are currently being installed. There are only about 10-12 uses that are differences between the existing commercial zones. • New Zone proposed R4/ R4A Low Impact-Mixed Use-as recommended in the Comprehensive Plan by the committee and adopted by the Lansing Town Board -identify marginal residential land along heavily travelled roads and develop a mixed use of residential together with professional offices of low traffic generators that might be able to utilize reverse frontage lots and reduce the curb cuts required for typical development. The R4A as proposed would eliminate certain fast foods and restaurants that would add larger number of traffic and pedestrian users. The history of the zoning changes in 1999 and 2003 for the area around the Lansing Schools and the Kohlenberg service station were discussed. After much discussion, the Planning Board is almost ready to present the proposed map to the Public. Mike asked about utilizing the sub-committee that reviewed the definitions portion to also review and assist in drafting the Use and Area Schedules. The Planning Board will hold one or two more public subcommittee meetings concerning the map prior to the presentation. Hope is to have work sessions at 5:00 PM prior to upcoming Planning Board meetings and any of the Planning Board members that can attend will.
