North Broadway Corridor Land Use and Zoning Study

Study Area

“ The purpose of this Study is to review the North Broadway corridor, including the Cookingham property and whether the underlying zoning should allow for more options to revitalize this portion of the corridor and allow additional uses which may not be presently allowed. The impetus for reviewing the zoning is the potential development of the Cookingham properties located at the northern end of the Study Area. “

R-20,000 - The land uses most appropriate in this district include lower-density single-family residences and the public facilities which complement them (e.g., parks and schools). Residential lot sizes would be determined by the capacity of the land to absorb septic waste, but would, in no case, be less than 20,000 square feet per dwelling unit. The relatively undeveloped character of these areas provide opportunities for preserving open space, especially through clustering.

• R-10,000 - The land uses most appropriate in this district include higherdensity single-family residences and the public facilities which complement them (e.g., parks and schools). Residential lot sizes would be determined by the capacity of the land to absorb septic waste, but would not, unless served by central sewage facilities, be less than 20,000 square feet per dwelling unit. The relatively concentrated character of residences within this district provides opportunities for extending amenities, such as sidewalks, utilities and streetlighting.

• General Business - The land uses most appropriate in this central commercial area include those business appealing to pedestrians, as well as institutions and public facilities with community-wide orientation. In addition, the upper floors of commercial structures may provide limited opportunities for accessory residences, especially for seniors.

The above pattern reflects that the North Broadway corridor is a transitional area, away from the higher density, attached building pattern exhibited in the center of the Village as one travels into the northerly agricultural areas of the unincorporated Town.

Introducing a dense building pattern along North Broadway may take away from and compete with the central business district and the uses there.

Observations

While the TND concept portrayed a layout which could be accommodated in the Study Area, it does not realistically consider that most buildings will remain and would not be demolished to accommodate the conceptual layout.

1. General Land Use . Allow a diverse mix of residential and nonresidential uses.

2. Housing . Encourage a diversity of housing.

3. Commercial . Allow commercial uses to continue and allow for the expansion of additional commercial uses on the east side of North Broadway.

4. Utilities . Expand utilities to achieve the other goals and objectives of the Study.

5. Streetscape and Mobility . Continue and extend the more traditional historic Village streetscape into the Study Area.

Goals

6. Community Character . Acknowledge that the Study Area is a transitional area between the Village’s central business district and low-density land use traveling north to the Town. Allow the community character to evolve from a more conventional commercial appearance to one which incorporates new infill development but at a lower density than the center of the Village.

7. Implementation . Explore options to achieve the goals and objectives set forth in this Study.

General Land Use. Allow a diverse mix of residential and nonresidential uses.

• Continue commercial development along the easterly frontage of North Broadway.

• Allow for limited mixed use (apartments above stores) along the easterly frontage.

• Allow for properties to be developed with multiple uses, e.g., a residential building and a commercial building could be situated on the same lot. Buildings that are solely used for residential development would not front to North Broadway.

Objectives

• Protect the existing residential uses and character on the west side of North Broadway.

• Protect and acknowledge the remaining agricultural uses on the Cookingham property as part of any zoning effort.

1. The Study will be adopted as an addendum to the Comprehensive Plan.

2. Hold another public hearing.

3. Revise as appropriate.

4. Finalize a Draft of Zoning Amendments to adopt that are consistent with the Study (which will require a public hearing).

5. Conduct SEQR Review.

Next Steps

6. Village Board may adopt.
