Meeting of the Ithaca Town Board
Monday, May 23 at 4:30 p.m.
215 North Tioga Street, Ithaca, NY 14850
Minutes
Board Members Present: Herb Engman, Bill Goodman, Pat Leary, Tee Ann Hunter,
Rich DePaolo, Eric Levine and Nahmin Horwitz
Meeting was called to order at 4:36 p.m.
AGENDA ITEM
-- Review Draft Agenda for Regular Meeting
AGENDA ITEM
-- Town Official’s Reports
Mr. Engman reported that Kristin Taylor from Engineering has resigned.
AGENDA ITEM
-- Report from Committees
Budget Committee
– Mr. Levine reported that they are doubling up this month
because Mike was at training last month
Codes and Ordinances Committee
– Mr. Goodman reported that they received
comments from Cornell regarding the stream setback law and it will take a few
meetings to get through them all. They also looked at the Conservation Zone
changes again. Ms. Hunter asked when the Viewshed document was going to be
discussed and Mr. Goodman responded that the Conservation Board was still
reviewing comments they received on the draft.
Comprehensive Plan Committee
– Topic Item after Reports
Mr. Engman did report that David Mountin has resigned from the Committee and the
Board needs to consider whether to leave the seat empty or replace him with
someone else. His opinion was that it was not a good time to bring someone totally
new into the process and try to catch them up with three years of meeting
information. The topic was added to the June regular meeting.
Operations Committee
– Mr. Engman reported that they reviewed the property
maintenance law and made some changes. Mr. Bates asked the Board to get any
comments back to him soon because the public hearing is set for the June meeting
and the final draft has to meet the 1-0-day deadline.
Planning Committee
– The Committee did not meet, but Ms. Ritter reported that
there was a meeting with Dan regarding his expansion project for Ithaca Beer and he
would like to expand the PDZ to allow free-standing signs at the entrances on Routes
13 and 13a. Discussion followed. Mr. DePaolo asked why Dan doesn’t just combine
his parcels and Ms. Ritter responded that she would look at that too, but she wanted
to get a feel for what the Board was thinking because the applicant did not want to go
Page 1 of 6
through the other processes and then have the Board say no and it would have all
been for nothing. Discussion followed. The topic will be on the June agenda.
Personnel Committee
– Ms. Hunter reported that they continued reviewing a draft
code of conduct which will be going to the Employee Relations Committee for
comment and the next meeting will have a presentation on the Town’s wage scale
components.
Public Works Committee
– Mr. Goodman reported they discussed the Gateway
Trail focusing on the lower half near Buttermilk Falls because of the uncertainty
surrounding the Emerson parcel. They discussed the parking issue on Sandbank
Road and will be forwarding a local law to the full Board for review. The Forest Home
Trail was also discussed and he and Mr. Horwitz would be taking a filed trip to
familiarize themselves with the safety concerns. They are also starting to look at
Capital Projects and the estimates on the emergency repairs on Eastern Heights Dr.
were discussed. The option for re-lining which would save the large trees came in
the same price range as the other option so Mr. Weber is going to go with that one to
preserve the trees. They also starting looking at road preservation strategies and a
request by the Town of Caroline to extend the South Hill Trail will be discussed at the
next meeting.
Records Management Advisory Board (RMAB)
– Mrs. Terwilliger reported that
they did not meet this month, but they are starting on the Procedures Manual for
each department and will begin with the Town Clerk’s Office. She added that this is a
very large project that will take quite a while.
Ethics Advisory Board –
Mrs. Terwilliger reported, as required by law, that the
Ethics Disclosure Forms were on file in the Clerk’s office and available for review.
She added that the Board met and reviewed them and there were 7 requests for
additional information sent out. She also stated that the Board would like to make a
few changes to the Form, which will need to be approved by the Town Board.
AdHoc Committees
a. Fire Protection – Mr. Engman reported that there next plan of action is to
tour the fire stations and also schedule a discussion with Bangs
Ambulance. They will also be talking with surrounding municipalities
regarding mutual aid and their capability of providing emergency
response/EMT because some already contract with Bangs and do not have
their own. There was some discussion on the City’s contract negotiations
which are not happening because there is no incentive to talk, but they are
looking at not filling the Assistant Chief position since they have gotten
along without one for almost 2 years.
b. Asset Management – Ms. Hunter reported that they have discussed and
will be recommending starting reserve funds and the need to raise the
water and sewer benefit assessments to cover debt load. The board also
Page 2 of 6
agrees that they would like to establish the reserve funds as a line item so
they are in front of boards in the future and so they are thought of each
year during the budget process regardless of how much money may be put
in them. They are working on a formula for a ratio to debt load to
determine how much should ideally be put in the line.
c. Youth Services – Mr. Engman reported that they didn’t meet but there have
been a couple of county-wide meetings and inner ring meetings regarding
program flow, money flow, and outcome. He also reported that he
received a letter from Cornell regarding the POST students who will be
inventorying Ash trees in the Town which will lead to a policy discussion on
what to do about them. A brief discussion followed. Ms. Hunter added that
she heard that some Cortland College Masters students completed a
needs assessment for Youth for the Town of Dryden and she suggested
that we check with them about doing the same for the Town. The Board
agreed that would be a good idea and Ms. Hunter will follow-up.
d. Police Services – Mr. Engman noted that they did not meet but there is a
project going on now by the State Police, Sheriff’s and City Police to step-
up patrols for speeding. Mr. Horwitz asked that a discussion regarding
speed control machines be put on the agenda of this committee.
Intermunicipal Committees
– Mr. Engman reported that the audits for years ending
2007 and 2008 have been completed for IAWWTF and that Katie Stoner, the
Sustainability Planner will be doing a walk-through with a company to evaluate
possible savings at SCLIWC
Discussion Topic – Update on the Comprehensive Plan (Attachment #1)
Ms. Ritter reported that she recently attend a conference in Binghamton, Creating a
Framework for Regional Prosperity – A Livable Communities & Smart Growth
Symposium. It was an excellent seminar and she was excited about the contacts
and information. A great mix of people excited about Retrofitting Suburbia, Smart
Growth, Sustainability Groups and NYS DOT people were there. A lot of discussion
and focus on how current zoning does not allow for great neighborhood planning
right now. Mixed uses aren’t allowed etc. Surveys and the changing demographics of
the US were discussed with the Gen X Y and Z anticipated wants and needs and the
over riding is developing a neighborhood with access to activities and such.
A word that was used a lot was “place making”, making it important where you live.
Ms. Ritter quoted from an article by Victor Dover who writes to developers and
homebuilders to tell them to get on the ball with designing neighborhoods. He says
“Architecture is important, but great streets, mixed uses, blended housing types and
shrewd phasing are the key tools. The conventional idea of “curb appeal” had
changes. The Conventional showcase the square footage in the house and the lot,
Smart Growth projects are designed to showcase opportunities for interacting with
Page 3 of 6
the community, socializing and knowing your neighbor. It is all about the
streetscapes and the roads.
Ms. Ritter recapped 2011 Comp Plan Packet with updated Land Use Maps
Potential growth areas indicated and each area has been discussed and Cornell is
on the ball with Smart Code type growth with mixed uses in the East Hill Plaza area
and on South Hill, a major landowner is interested in doing the same but lacks the
backing.
West Hill revised map was discussed. Cornell owns a chunk, Mr. Perry owns
another, Conifer owns another and J. Rancich owns another. Each of these areas
are ripe for development and the Main Street idea is not suitable for these areas for
different reasons. Ms Ritter said the plan is to create a neighborhood scale plan
using the Conifer Rd right-of-way using the natural resources already there, a
bike/pedestrian walkway, the population is there and coming. The idea is to have the
residential as the primary focus but with areas set aside for retail to serve the
neighborhood, not necessarily be a draw for regional visitors. For example, P&C on
East Hill draws people from outside of the immediate neighborhood, where West Hill
would probably not have a large supermarket and would maybe have a small
mom&pop type store that would serve that neighborhood.
If you create a Plan and encourage the developers to buy into that Plan and have
some rules and regulations tied to the Plan then developers know what the Town
wants to encourage ahead of time and it helps them as well as the Town.
They would also like to consider using the Smart Code approach in this area which
would radically change our Zoning to allow coordinated smart growth with zoning to
enforce and support the vision of mixed use communities.
Route 13 Corridor was also discussed and ways to somehow beautify that area as it
is one of the major entrances to the Town. Discussion followed touching on
architectural standards and ways to encourage good growth.
Commuter traffic charts were discussed also which the Town has an overwhelming
majority of.
Consider Consent Agenda Items
Mr. Horwitz requested that the approval of minutes be pulled from Consent. His
th
concern was with the May 9 minutes regarding confidentiality associated with the
gas drilling legislation. Discussion followed. If there is a confidentiality agreement
and not everyone abides by it, then it is useless. Mr. Levine noted that it is not like a
gag order, but to protect the interests of the municipalities when negotiating.
The minutes were changed by removing the ( ? )

Conference in Binghamton - Creating a Framework for Regional Prosperity - A Livable
Communities & Smart Growth Symposium
Speakers:
- Ellen Dunham-Jones - professor Georgia Institute of Technology, award winning architect and
urban designer, and since writing the book "Retrofitting Suburbia" in 2009 a much sought after
speak, both nationally and internationally.
- President and CEO of Smart Growth America
- Acting Director, US EPA Office of Sustainable Communities
- an Associate from Jonathan Rose Companies - work closely with not-for profits, towns and
cities - a green real estate policy, planning, and development firm, currently $1.5 billion work,
(amusement park in Denver)
- NYS Dept of State, Director of Smart Growth,
- Deputy County Executive Onondaga County
- Donna Lupardo, Assembly women
(video will be available on web)
The speakers were inspiring and it continues to affirm in my mind the need for the Town to be
more proactive in planning and pursuing smart growth strategies. Our current zoning does not
allow us to create great places for people to live, places of mixed of use, and diverse housing
types, with emphasis on neighborhood design - attractive streetscapes, built for the human
instead of emphasizing the car. Density to support infrastructure - but green enough to connect
people and nature.
Three of the speakers described the changing demographics in the US (maybe in Ithaca?):
Baby boomers are the largest cohort - they have been the ones to occupy the single family
detached house which dominate suburbs. But they are now empty nesters; and many want to
unchain themselves from large yards and houses; this group is looking for things to do in
retirement and according to surveys they are interested in living in mixed use/mixed age a^as.
Gen X - born starting in the mid-60's, are in their 40's mid-late 30s; this population is much
smaller and there are not enough of them to fill up the detached single family houses that the
boomers will be giving up. ^ ^
Gen Y - Millenials - children of boomers, called "Echo Boomers", due to the huge increase in
birth rates through the 1980s and into the 1990s; these are people especially in their twenties and
teens; they are delaying having children; and these are people who will not be interested anytime
soon in filling up the typical suburban neighborhood, containing only detached single family
homes, they want a more urban lifestyle - but in suburban locations - a community feel (they
want Fall Creek).
Glut of detached houses in the traditional suburban neighborhood anticipated through to 2035.
"third places"—not work or home, but the other places we'd frequent, if they were close
at hand, to meet friends, make new friends, people watch, and expand social
networks.////PTA and other children centered activities gets people knowing one another
- now it is meeting places,
f >
Energy usage - Discussion on energy usage (BTU) of the typical suburban detached house
requiring commute versus attached housing with transit connections, expected that this will be a
big factor for the Gen Y-Millenials. Sharing walls - less btus .
Infrastructure costs - installation and maintenance; examples of how smart growth reduces
infrastructure costs - not expanding out, greater density and multi-story. Having an acre or third
of an acre lots sizes requires lots of pipelines.
Societal issues, how transportation costs hit low-income families the hardest;
Isolation that comes from living in suburbs if you do not have adequate transportation options;
Depression issues with seniors who can no longer drive or who don't have a car and are isolated
away from services and community.
Principals from the Congress of New Urbanism charter include:
n Livable streets arranged in compact, walkable blocks.
n A range of housing choices to serve people of diverse ages and income levels.
n Schools, stores and other nearby destinations reachable by walking, bicycling or transit service.
" An affirming, human-scaled public realm where appropriately designed buildings define and enliven streets
and other public spaces.
creating great places for people to live: A place where people want to live is where people will
invest.
places that are compact, walkable. include mixed uses and a range of house choices, and places
that integrate nature and open space.
The talk now is about paying attention to the public realm of a development, not just the houses,
but the relationship of the houses to the street the side walk, and other public spaces. ' |

Anticipated land use categories
Neighborhood Residential
Desired character:
Current character: The Neighborhood Residential land use designation includes areas developed primarily after 1950,
with single-family residences and townhouses in platted subdivisions. Many of these areas have
been developed at densities of between 2 and 3 units per acre, and most are comprised of primarily
single family detached homes, some with an accessory attached unit. A mobile home park and some
apartment complexes are located on land designated in this category. Many larger less developed
and undeveloped parcels also exist in this category, some containing large 19th century homes and
farm houses providing traces of the Town's historic past.
New development in the Neighborhood Residential category is envisioned to be a mix of housing
types, lot sizes, and price ranges, built to create intentional neighborhoods with linkages and
proximity to services, employment, nearby neighborhoods, transit stops and recreational areas.
Development will ideally incorporate human-scale design; an interconnected street network
providing a variety of routes for local traffic; public spaces that are accessible, defensible and visible;
and other features that foster a sense of community.
Contemporary suburban development patterns (streets with limited connectivity, excessive cul-de-
sacs, monoculture of housing types) are strongly discouraged. Infill development will be context-
sensitive and compatible with the established built environment.
Land categorized as Neighborhood Residential is located in areas anticipated to be served by public
sewer and water, close to Neighborhood Center areas and/or the City of Ithaca where topography
and transportation networks are suitable.
Detached residences, accessory dwelling units where appropriate.
Cottage communities, two- to four-unit attached residences, and townhouses, integrated into the
larger neighborhood.
Limited low-intensity retail uses, offices and personal services serving nearby residents, grouped in
very small clusters generally located at intersections of busier non-local streets, within a convenient
walking distance (10-15 minutes) of most or all residents in a neighborhood.
Civic uses typically found in a traditional neighborhood (schools, libraries, places of worship, etc.).
Residential density: 4 to 6 dwelling units/acre average for a development site, 2 to 10 dwelling units/acre at specific
locations in a site.
Zoning equivalent: MDR, HDR, NC, PDZ.
Transect equivalent: T-3 (suburban), T-^ (general urban).

Other uses:
The Rural Residential land use designation Is a transitional area between the open space of
conservation or agriculture and more densely developed suburban residential areas. Characterized
by single family houses that are generally unserved or under-served by water and sewer utilities, on
lots ranging from i to lo or more acres. Many parcels were developed gradually overtime with
successive subdivisions of former large farm parcels. Frontage or strip residential development, with
residential lots strung along arterial and collector roads, is common in some Rural Residential areas.
Many larger less developed, undeveloped and agricultural parcels also exist in this category.
Residential development in Rural Residential areas should be integrated into the surrounding
agricultural and natural landscape, not encroach onto it. New development in the Rural Residential
category is envisioned to be large lot residential development on local roads, sited to have a low
visual impact from arterial and collector roads and viewscape corridors; and agricultural urbanism
development, cluster/conservation development, or ecovillages where a large contiguous parcel of
agricultural, forest and/or environmentally sensitive land is preserved.
Frontage subdivision along arterial and collector roads should be greatly restricted or prohibited.
Land categorized as Rural Residential is located in areas not anticipated to be served by public sewer
and water, or frequent public transit service, between areas designated as Neighborhood Residential
and Agricultural or Conservation.
Single household residential, accessory dwelling units where appropriate.
Agriculture and forestry, small cottage industries.
Residential density: i dwelling unit/acre average for a development site, depending on soil conditions.
Zoning equivalent: LDR, AG, PDZ.
Transect equivalent: T-z (rural).

Neighborhood Center
Current character:
Desired character:
f ^
k
Location:
The Neighborhood Center land use designation includes distinct areas of the Town that are in close
proximity to major employers, providing an opportunity to serve an existing population with housing
and services. Each of the identified centers has a unique character that stems in large part from its
location, history, topography and the needs and character of the associated major employer. Each
area also includes varying amounts of developed and undeveloped land.
On East Hill, near the Cornell University campus, the Pine Tree/Ellis Hollow Roads Center location
includes apartment complexes, a shopping center (partially housed with offices), a hotel, and
freestanding retail, commercial and office uses.
On South Hill, near Ithaca College, a collection of retail services, a hotel, multi-family and single-
family residential types can be found in the Danby and King Road intersection.
On West Hill, nearthe Cayuga Medical Center, this least developed proposed center provides a range
of specialized medical services and includes an apartment complex and several detached residences.
As an action plan of the Comprehensive Plan update, each Neighborhood Center area will require an
individualized plan to determine the scope, design and mix of uses that will complement and
recognize the development needs, opportunities and constraints of each area.
New development in the Neighborhood Center category is envisioned to include a combination of
residential, office, retail, and commercial uses. Centers should be anchored by a central public
space, open space and/or a defined "main street" and be transit oriented. Uses would be combined
in the same building or on the same site with residences. Residences appealing to a broad range of
household types and lifestyles would be included, with decreasing density away from the core of the
neighborhood center. Development will ideally incorporate human-scale design; an interconnected
street network providing a variety of routes for local traffic; public spaces that are accessible,
defensible and visible; and other features that foster a sense of community.
Residential infill and redevelopment will be context-sensitive and compatible with the established
built environment. Retrofitting of existing vehicle-oriented development is strongly encouraged.
Undesirable development includes streets with limited connectivity, multi-unit housing in
disconnected complexes, excessive cul-de-sacs, commercial uses with prominent parking lots,
monoculture of topologies, and other contemporary suburban residential development patterns.
Areas categorized as Neighborhood Center are located in the approximate geographic center of
each of the three subregions of the Town (West Hill, South Hill, East Hill), centered on intersections
of relatively busy arterial or collector streets.
Predominant use:
Other uses:
Planned mixed use; residential, commercial and civic.
Small-lot (3,000-6,000'^) detached residences with accessory dwelling units where appropriate,
cottage communities, two- to four-unit attached residences, townhouses, garden residences, live-
work residences, and loft residences, integrated throughout the neighborhood.
Senior housing and continuing care.
Retail uses, offices and personal services serving neighborhood residents and workers, grouped at
the intersections of busier non-local streets or on internal collector roads, within a convenient
walking distance (10-15 minutes) of most or all residents in a neighborhood. Retail buildings may
include upper level residential units.
Civic uses (schools, libraries, places of worship, community centers, museums, etc.).
Residential density: 8 to 12 dwelling units/acre average for a development site, 6 to 20 dwelling units/acre at specific
locations in a site.
Zoning equivalent: HDR, MR, NC, CC, LC, PDZ.
Transect equivalent: T-4 (general urban), T-5 (urban core).

Mixed Use Urban
Current character: The Mixed Use Urban land use applies to the Emerson Power Transmission (formerly Morse Chain)
site located on South Hill. This multi-building, four story, former industrial complex contains over
770,000 square feet of building space; approximately one-third of which is within the Town of Ithaca,
the remainder being in the City. Built from 1906-1970 the facility includes a mixture of
manufacturing and office buildings. Approximately 60 acres of the 94 acre site are within the Town.
Steep slopes, shallow soils, and extensive bedrock outcrops are limiting factors to future
development of the land. An abandoned railroad bed traversing the west side of the facility is
proposed as part of a two mile multi-use trail (Gateway Trail) that would connect the NYS Black
Diamond Trail with the Town's South Hill Recreation Way. The site boasts magnificent views of the
City, Cayuga Lake and beyond.

Redevelopment and new development of the site is envisioned for mixed uses, including retail, co
ops, condos, apartments, and office space. Light industrial uses would be appropriate for the former
manufacturing portions of the site. Passive recreational uses may also exist on the site.
The South Hill site is located partially within the City and Town of Ithaca, immediately adjacent to
City neighborhoods and in close proximity to the Ithaca Commons and Ithaca College. The site is
accessed from State Route 96B (Aurora Street).
Mixed residential, retail, offices and light industrial.

Location:
Predominant use:
Other uses:
The Gateway Corridor land use designation includes parcels fronting on Elmira Road (NY 13/34/96)
between Seven Mile Drive and Five Mile Drive, and parcels immediately to the north that access
Elmira Road. The south end of this area includes scattered commercial uses, and three motels. The
north end includes a microbrewery, climbing machine manufacturer, and a paving and earthmoving
contractor. Commercial and industrial uses are in unremarkable buildings dating to the 1960s and
1970s, repurposed houses, and prefabricated metal buildings.
Cayuga Inlet and Buttermilk Falls State Park shield the area from the busy Elmira Road retail
commercial strip in the City of Ithaca. The Gateway Corridor area remains somewhat unaffected by
the recent growth of the Elmira Road strip. Situated along a busy travel corridor used by
commuters, truckers and visitors, including tourists of two nearby state parks, the area is uniquely
situated for growth and redevelopment opportunities.
New and retrofitted development in the Gateway Corridor category is envisioned to include a mix of
office, small-scale retail, hospitality, and tourism uses, separated from an area of light industrial and
skilled trade uses. New residential development may be appropriate for internal portions of the
corridor where highway noise would be less impacting.
The scale, architecture and landscaping of future development will need to be carefully designed and
articulated. This area should retain a semi-rural character, with deep setbacks from arterial streets
(50' or more), wide spacing between uses, landscaped front yards, site-built buildings, and vehicle
parking sited on the sideand/orrear of structures. Shared curb cuts will reduce potential conflicts
with highway traffic. Architectural design, landscaping, and site planning regulations that may be
adopted in the future should apply to this area, including industrial uses.
Agglomeration of mechanical commercial uses, and incremental expansion of commercial zoning
resulting in strip commercial development, will be strongly discouraged.
While the corridor will likely remain strongly auto-oriented, pedestrian connections within the
corridor and to adjoining or nearby residential neighborhoods will unify and promote service linkage
opportunities.

Zoning equivalent:
Transect equivalent:
The Agricultural land use designation includes areas with a rural character, where agricultural uses
and open space predominate. The farms represent a diversity of enterprises ranging from small
scale fruit and vegetable producers, livestock farmers, and ornamental horticultural businesses to a
few farmers engaged in larger dairy and commodity field crop production. Residences not
associated with farms are scattered throughout the Agriculture-designated areas, mostly along the
road frontages.
This category also encompasses various agricultural-related teaching and research facilities of
Cornell University. Through many of its colleges and departments, Cornell has a large agricultural
presence on East Hill, such as open fields, pastures, farms and associated farm buildings and
structures.
Land in the Agricultural category is envisioned to be a home for farming and farm-related
businesses, where there is minimal intrusion by non-agricultural uses, and the right to farm will be
honored. Agritourism will be encouraged to keep agricultural uses financially viable.
Only very limited residential development should be considered in this area, on sites that are poorly
suited for agricultural uses or open space preservation. Residential development in Agricultural
areas should be integrated into the surrounding agricultural and natural landscape, not encroach
onto it. Frontage subdivision along roads should be restricted.
The existing agricultural-related teaching and research facilities on East Hill are a high priority to
retain in agriculture and should be maintained.
Land categorized as Agricultural is concentrated in the western part of the Town along the borders
of Enfield and Ulysses. Portions of South Hill are also actively farmed, and Cornell University uses
areas of East Hill for agricultural research.
Agricultural uses, agricultural related business, equestrian facilities, dwelling units of the owner or
operator of an agricultural use on the site, accessory dwelling units where appropriate.
Small cottage industries and home occupations, agritourism, very limited low-impact residential
development.

The Conservation / Open Space land use designation includes areas having significant natural
features. The category includes sites designated as Unique Natural Areas, as well as several large
parks and preserves, such as Buttermilk Falls State Park, Robert Treman State Park, and Cornell
Plantations. Some large parcels with residences are present.
Land in the Conservation/Open Space category will be protected from inappropriate development.
Natural features such as wetlands, mature woodlands, watercourses, and viewsheds will be
protected from intrusion by residential, commercial, industrial and institutional uses.
Portions of some areas shown as Conservation/Open Space may be suitable for very limited low-
impact residential development. Individual site evaluation will be necessary to determine suitability
for development.
Land categorized as Conservation/Open Space consists of lands approximating or reverting to a
natural state, including lands unsuitable for settlement or agriculture due to topography, hydrology
or vegetation. They may contain wetlands, steep slopes, mature woodlands, or other natural
features. Lands within this category are located throughout the Town.
Parks (predominantly passive recreation), conservation areas, nature preserves, arboretums, open

Institutional / Public
Current character:The Institutional / Public area Includes the campuses of Cornell University and Ithaca College, their
ancillary research facilities, and reserve land; and the site of Cayuga Medical Center and adjacent
associated facilities.
Cornell University, located on the east side of the City of ithaca and on East Hill, has a generally
traditional campus layout with buildings lining an interconnected grid of roads, grouped around
internal quadrangles. Ancillary facilities of CU include greenhouses, orchards, and farms, which are
located on parcels with the Agriculture and Conservation / Open Space designation. Ithaca College,
located on South Hill, reflects campus planning practice in the 1960s and 1970s, with a built-up
central core surrounded by a loop road, parking and open space. The campus edges of CU and IC are
generally well-defined, with the campus and ancillary facilities of Cornell University having some
overlap with neighborhoods in the city and town.
Desired character:Development in the Institutional / Public zone should reflect the current best practice in campus
planning, medical facility design and site planning, and land stewardship.
Land categorized as Institutional/Public includes the Cornell University and ithaca College campuses,
their ancillary facilities and reserve areas not related to agriculture and conservation, and the site of
Cayuga Medical Center in the West Hill area.

The Limited Industrial land use applies to the Therm International Inc. facility site. The 130,000
square-foot facility includes a main manufacturing and warehouse plant built in 1935 with several
support buildings added in the 1980s. Used forthe manufacturing of engine parts, the facility now
includes advanced materials manufacturing. Situated near the City and Town municipal boundary
on South Hill, much of the 35 acre parcel remains undeveloped with woods and moderate slopes.
The facility is tucked into existing neighborhoods with the Six Mile Creek Natural Area Immediately
adjacent to the east. The facility has one main un-signaled access drive off Hudson Street
Future industrial development should not be piecemeal, but instead take the form of an industrial
park or other scheme where there is coordinated planning over a group of contiguous lots. The
acreage of industrial zoned land in the Town should be limited to only the amount needed to
realistically meet future demand.
Architectural design, landscaping, and site planning regulations that may be adopted in the future
should apply to industrial uses. Industrial areas should be well buffered from residential areas.
South Hill area, off Hudson Street/Coddington Road, south of the City of Ithaca boundary. Future
industrial districts should be on relatively flat sites that are not environmentally or visually sensitive,
close to arterial roads that are easily negotiated by truck traffic, in areas where their externalities will
have little or no impact on residential, recreational, and agricultural uses.

Office / Technology
Current character:
Desired character:
The Office Technology land use applies to the South Hill Business Campus on State Route 96B. The
271,000 sq. ft. facility consists of a two-story 1957 factory, a four-story 1957 office tower, and a two-
story 1975 addition. Once used for manufacturing machine part, the complex has been transformed
into a mixed use facility housing a tapestry of manufacturing, research and development, and office
uses. The 56 acre site has two signalized access points from State Route 96B. Much of the facility
enjoys distinctive and prominent "long view" of Cayuga Lake.
The reuse of the manufacturing facility for mixed use purposes is supported and encouraged by the
Town. Expansion of the facility would be done through a master plan design to create an attractive
complex of related buildings in a campus-like setting.
Prominently sited along the state highway, architectural design, landscaping and site plan
regulations would guide future development of the facility.

Town of Ithaca Comprehensive Plan
Transects
Atransect isa cut or path through part of the environment showing a range of different habitats. Biologists and ecoiogists
use transects to study the many symbiotic elements that contribute to habitats where certain plants and animals thrive.
Human beings also thrive in different habitats. Some people prefer urban centers and would suffer in a rural place, while
others thrive in the rural or sub-urban zones. Before the automobile, American development patterns were walkable, and
transects within towns and city neighborhoods revealed areas that were less urban and more urban in character. This
urbanism could be analyzed as natural transects are analyzed.
To systemize the analysis and coding of traditional patterns, a prototypical American rural-to-urban transect has been
divided into six Transect Zones, orT-zones, for application on zoning maps.
