Chapter 270 of the Town of Ithaca Code, Article IV, §270-6, entitled"Enumeration of zones' is amended by adding the following at the end of subdivision A: "Planned Development Zone No. 15- In accordance with and pursuant to Local Law No. _-2017 [Maplewood]" Section 2. Chapter 271 of the Town of Ithaca Code is amended by adding§271-16, entitled "Planned Development Zone No. 15(Limited Mixed Use, Maplewood)", as follows: 271-16.1 introduction The Maplewood planned development(PD)zone enables and guides redevelopment of the Maplewood Park housing complex, and its underlying site, into a compact,walkable, mixed-use community. This§271-16 uses a form-based zoning approach with objective yet flexible standards, to provide clarity and certainty about site planning and the resulting built environment. Urban design for Maplewood follows traditional neighborhood development(TND) principles. The project envisions a variety of housing types and building configurations, storefront space for neighborhood commercial uses, and a community center. An interconnected grid of streets and courts, and an open space network linking to the East Hill Recreation Way, aim to weave the public realm of Maplewood into the fabric of the greater Belle Sherman neighborhood. The Town of Ithaca Comprehensive Plan recommends focusing new residential development in areas near major employment centers and the City of Ithaca boundary. Maplewood is located on a 16.98-acre infill site with+/- 16.23 acres in the Town of Ithaca and+/-0.75 acres in the City of Ithaca.The project is next to Cornell University campus, about 1.2 miles east of downtown Ithaca,and within a 10 to 20 minute walk of East Hill Plaza and the center of Collegetown. The Comprehensive Plan also recommends denser mixed-use traditional neighborhood development in the Mitchell Street/Maple Avenue/Pine Tree Road area,which includes the Maplewood site. 2711-16,2Transect sect SubzRbne A transect subzone defines parts of the larger site that will have certain physical and functional characteristics.
