LANSING LAND USE ORDINANCE TO ADD ARTICLE XVI
AND TO MAP AND CREATE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONE
#1 – THE VILLAGE CIRCLE-VILLAGE SOLARS PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT AREA
TOWN OF LANSING, TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK
LOCAL LAW NUMBER 1 OF 2013
Be it enacted by the Town of Lansing as follows:
SECTION 1:TITLE & APPLICATION; FINDINGS
A.This Local Law shall be known as “Local Law Number 1 of 2013.” This Local Law amends the
Town of Lansing Land Use Ordinance, by: (i) creating Article XVI, to be entitled “Planned
Development Areas”; and (ii) by mapping, approving, and adopting Planned Development Area
(“PDA”) #1 for the Village Circle-Village Solars PDA, and by specifying the allowed land uses and
related regulations for such PDA #1.
B.The Town of Lansing Land Use Ordinance encourages the development of creative and
environmentally sound housing communities, particularly those that create the clustering of housing
units so as to promote and preserve open and recreational space and existing significant natural
features and conditions, and those that promote energy efficiency through sustainable and intelligent
design.
C.The Developers of PDA #1, Rocco Lucente and Vi llage Solars, LLC (the “Developer” or
“Developers,” as the context herein may admit or require, and such terms shall include each and all
of their successors, heirs, and assigns), have set forth a development plan of mixed uses and clustered
multi-housing units, the creation of enclosed and non-enclosed community and recreational spaces,
walkways and paths to foster a walk-able community, the use of rain gardens and watercourses to
foster an “amenities loop” with services, walkways, gardens, and which interlinks to a town-wide
community trail, as well as a recreational loop of over a half mile in length surrounding the PDA that
interconnects a dog park, basketball courts, recreational lawns, picnic areas, and other amenities. The
Developers also propose solar efficiency for reduced heating and electric costs by orienting buildings
and improvements towards solar radiation and other design elements.
D.The proposed project will contribute to the variety of housing styles and patterns of
development available in the Town and will create a model housing project that displays the benefits
of integrated services, efficient solar design, recreation, and open spaces, all while being designed to
create a neighborhood design favoring pedestrian and walk-able uses, with minimal vehicular traffic
incursion, all while providing native and attractive landscaping and buffering, safe play areas for
children, clustering housing to create open spaces and promote an aesthetic and safe neighborhood
space to foster a sense of community. The usage of interior acreage for housing promotes these goals
and also helps preserve soil and water resources, all while avoiding strip-type residential
development along roadways. This PDA will preserve many roadside rural vistas and demonstrate a
permissible manner through which planned housing may conserve energy and water, provide open
space, recreational opportunities, and community facilities, all within the parameters of allowed
density.
SECTION 2:PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AREAS GENERALLY
A.The Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Lansing as readopted, amended and revised, effective
on or about May 18, 2005, be further amended as set forth below.
1.A new Article XVI is added entitled “Planned Development Areas” as follows:
a.1600.0 - Planned Development Areas (“PDA”) are permitted in the Town of Lansing
when approved pursuant to the procedures and requirements of the Town of Lansing Land
Use Ordinance, including § 706.0 (and all its subdivisions), therein. No PDA approval shall
hereafter become valid until a local law is adopted implementing and approving such PDA,
each of which such local laws shall adopt and implement such regulations as the Town Board
shall deem advisable, as based in whole or in part upon the recommendations of the Planning
Board in relation to such PDA, and which local law shall define such PDA and place it
numerically within the body of Article XVI of this Land Use Ordinance.
b.1601.0 - Every PDA that is included within the Land Use Ordinance and which is thus
then authorized and allowed shall contain, at a minimum, a description of each of the
following in relation to the allowed land uses and regulations:
1.Any special definitions for land uses, particularly including any definitions as vary
from the general definitions already set forth in the Land Use Ordinance;
2.The allowed principal and supplementary or accessory land uses;
3.Any yardage, set-back requirements, or density regulations or requirements;
4.Maximum building coverage, height, or size, or the maximum number of dwelling
units within each such building;
5.The principal requirements for traffic management, including roadways, parking
areas, public highways, pedestrian and other ways, including the potential construction,
development, maintenance, and/or dedication of the same;
6.Landscaping plans and buffering requirements;
7.Allowed building materials and architectural details, including coloration and
visibility of project elements, including buildings and structures;
8.Any lighting or signage plans or constructs;

10.Any rules relative to mixed uses within any one building or structure and within the
PDA itself;
11.The preservation, conservation, or use of wetlands or other significant natural areas
or features;
12.Any phasing plan or developmental timetable and the issuance of future approvals
or permits relating to the same, including a definition or designation of such uses or
changes in use that may require special permits, site plan review, or amendments to the
Land Use Ordinance; and
13.Any other matter relevant to such PDA or necessary to give effect to such local law.
c.1602.0 – Construction and Interpretation - The provisions of this Article shall not
diminish or impair the right of any other governmental agency or body to require that any act
be taken or avoided. No permit, grandfather right, resolution, procedure, or rule pertaining to
zoning or land use shall supersede the requirements of this Article. This Article is intended to
supplement and augment the requirements of zoning and land use regulations and rules of the
Town of Lansing and thus shall be read in harmony therewith. In the event of a conflict as to
applicable zoning rules, the requirements of this Article shall apply to land uses and related
rights and activities with respect to any PDA listed within this Article.

11.The following requirements apply to the provision of water services, sewer services, and
stormwater within the PDA:
a.Water - Phase I of the project, being the 12 units for Village Circle, plus an additional 10
buildings not to exceed 138 units or EDUs (herein together, the “Initial Allowed Build-Out
Limit”), will rely upon an interconnection to the Tow n of Lansing Consolidated Water District
(“CWD”), but will require a hydropneumatic system being installed in order to obtain building
permits and certificates of occupancy or compliance. Such system shall be designed, installed, and
meet operational parameters as designated by the Tow n Engineer. All buildings and residences
proposed beyond the Initial Allowed Build-Out Limit shall be dependent upon the successful
completion and implementation of a new pressure zone within the CWD, including through the
potential development of the Burdick Hill Water Tank improvements by the Southern Cayuga
Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission and the CWD, and/or by the construction and
connection of the Bone Plain Water Tank system by the CWD. Until a new pressure zone is
operational, no additional building permits or certificates of occupancy or compliance (beyond the
Initial Allowed Build-Out Limit) shall be issued by the Town of Lansing unless the Developer can
address water pressure or water volume impacts or deficiencies in a manner as meets the
requirements of the CWD, subject to, in all instances, the approval of the Town Engineer and a
future site plan review approval to measure any impacts of such future development(s) or
building(s). Allowable water usage capacity is capped at 470 EDUs, plus additional units for the
Community Center Building not to exceed 15 units;
b.Sewer – No building permits and no certificates of occupancy or compliance shall be issued
for any buildings or structures beyond the Initial Allowed Build-Out Limit of the PDA until the
“Intermunicipal Wastewater Transportation and Treatment Agreement,” dated March 8, 2010, by
and between the Town of Lansing and the Villages of Lansing and Cayuga Heights, is updated
and amended to provide for additional sewer transportation and treatment volumes equal to
existing levels plus all anticipated flows from the complete and maximum build-out of this PDA.
Allowable sewer capacity is capped at 470 EDUs, plus additional units for the Community Center
Building not to exceed 15 units;
c.Stormwater - No certificates of occupancy or compliance shall be issued until after the
stormwater plans and the SWPPP:
1. Are duly approved by the Town and NY SPDES permits are issued; and
2. All permanent stormwater facilities and permanent practices are substantially
constructed; and
3. All stormwater facilities and permanent practices are either dedicated to the Town or
any drainage district formed for this PDA or until a stormwater management agreement is
duly executed by the Developer in a form acceptable to the Town.
12.Except for the Community Center Building, other community buildings, and the rental offices,
residential uses within the PDA shall not be mixed within any one building or structure with any
non-residential uses. Further, as to the Community Center Building and other community buildings
and areas, the approval of future PDA phases and the issuance of building permits and certificates of
compliance and occupancy for the same are conditioned upon the Developer: (i) completing the
public, quasi-public, and community improvements within the proposed PDA within 2 years of the
date of commencement of initial PDA construction, with these improvements including the shared
yards, courtyards, trails, pathways, community grills, outdoor community recreation areas, and
community fire pits (each as so documented in the development plan); and (ii) the Community
Center Building is considered separately from other community infrastructure and is proposed as
part of a later part of Phase II (sometimes called Phase II-b) of the development; however, the
Community Center Building shall be built within 5 years of the date of adoption of this Article (and
this Local Law), failing which, the approval of future PDA phases and the issuance of building
permits and certificates of compliance and occupancy may be withheld in the discretion of the Town.
13.All wetlands and significant natural features shall be preserved and enhanced in accord with
the existing development plans.
14.The March 20, 2013, updated PDA project proposals outline the proposed phasing of the
project. The development of the Initial Allowed Build-Out Limit are hereby authorized and allowed,
subject to all approvals, permitting, and stormwater requirements, each where applicable or as
required. However, any development beyond the Initial Allowed Build-Out Limit is and remains
subject to the water and sewer requirements set forth above;
15.Any proposed use not specifically herein allowed is expressly prohibited. Any future plan or
proposal not here specifically allowed is prohibited unless an amendment to the development plan is
approved through the applicable site planning, special permitting, or variance procedures as outlined
in the Land Use Ordinance. In no event may the open space percentage of 40% be reduced; such open
space measurement to be expressed as a percentage of land that is undeveloped by buildings or
impervious surfaces as compared to the total acreage of the PDA as based upon its boundaries as
defined below;
16.All outdoor recreational uses shall be for passive and non-motorized recreation. Auxiliary uses
relating to such recreation, such as exercise areas, tennis courts, basketball courts, ball fields, gardens,
trails, and small covered or stone-paved cooking and picnic pavilions or similar facilities shall be
permitted.
17.All waterlines and appurtenant infrastructure shall be dedicated, along with accompanying
easements and rights-of-way to the CWD. Similarly, all sewer lines and appurtenances shall be
dedicated to the Town and/or any applicable sewer district or improvement area. Such dedications
shall occur after construction and installation, after all permits have been obtained and all permit
conditions duly met, including permits from the Tompkins County Health Department. All such
water and sewer lines shall be subject to inspection and testing, and shall be in operational condition
at the time of dedication. Such installation, inspections, and operational parameters shall be verified
at reasonable times by the Town Engineer and other designees of the Town of Lansing.
18.The Developer may request a waiver from the requirement of this Article and this Local Law to
the extent of obtaining additional building permits (or certificates of compliance or occupancy) earlier
than would otherwise be authorized hereunder by applying for such a waiver to the Tow n Board. If
such a waiver is granted, the Town Board may impose such reasonable conditions upon the waiver as
it may deem appropriate. The Town Board may, but is not required to, authorize the issuance of
additional building permits (or the issuance of such certificates) if the Town Board finds:
a.The plans for the water or sewer lines and appurtenances have been approved by all
applicable agencies;
b.Wor k has been commenced on the construction of the line and appurtenances and is
progressing with sufficient rapidity that it is reasonable to expect that it will be completed before
any certificates of occupancy or compliance for any dwelling or other units are issued;
c. There would be a substantial hardship to one or more individuals to delay construction or
certificate issuance absent such waiver, and such hardship was not self-created;
d.There is proof provided to the Tow n Engineer and Planning Board that there is adequate
financial support available to the Developer to complete the work, such proof being in the form of
a dedicated escrow account, performance bond, letter of credit, or other proof satisfactory and
acceptable to the Town Board as based upon the recommendations of the Town Engineer and the
Attorney for the Town;
e. The Town Engineer recommends granting the waiver; and
f.Such waiver is the minimum variation from the requirements of this Local Law as would
remediate or lessen such found hardship.
19.The area encompassed and rezoned in accordance with this Local Law is described as follows:

20.Unless work has materially commenced within the 24 months following the date of adoption
of this Local Law, the zoning change effected by this Local Law shall terminate and the zoning shall
revert to that in effect prior to the adoption of this section unless, in the interim, there has been a
general rezoning of the area surrounding the area being rezoned by this section, in which event the
zoning shall revert to the same zoning as then in effect along a majority of the perimeter of the land
being rezoned as a PDA by this Local Law. The Town Board, upon request of the applicant, after a
public hearing, and upon a finding that the imposition of the time limits set forth above would create
an undue hardship on the applicant, may extend the time limits for such additional periods as the
Town Board may reasonably determine. For the purposes of this section, work will not have
“materially commenced” unless, at a minimum, a building permit, if required, has been obtained;
construction equipment and tools consistent with the size of the proposed work have been brought to
and been used on the site; and substantial excavation (where excavation is required) or significant
framing, erection, or construction (where excavation is not required) has been started and is being
diligently pursued.
21.The Developer assumes sole responsibility for the development and its worksites and all
related or adjacent areas and lands and agrees to assume all responsibility for any injury or damage
that may or does occur as a result of any excavation, construction, or related work. The Developer, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, shall indemnify and hold the Town of Lansing harmless from and
against any, each, and all losses, actions, causes of action, suits, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts,
reckonings, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises,
