A. In acting on any proposed site plan of development, the Planning Board shall take into consideration the requirements of the Village Development Plan adopted by said Board and the Official Map as it may be adopted by the Village Board. The Planning Board shall also consider the proposed location of main and accessory buildings on the site and their relation to one another; traffic circulation within the site; height and bulk of buildings; provision of off-street parking space; provision of buffer areas and other open spaces on the site; signs; means of access; and screening, landscaping and architectural features so that the development will adequately handle pedestrian and vehicular traffic within the site in relation to the street system adjoining and will harmoniously and satisfactorily fit in with contiguous land and buildings and adjacent neighborhoods.

B. In addition, the Planning Board shall consider facts, such as drainage, road alignment and other engineering aspects of such site plan, and may require the review of such factors by engineering authorities appointed by the Village.
-
C. In reviewing site plan applications for uses that provide public accommodation, including but not limited to retail businesses, cultural facilities, and multifamily dwellings, the Planning Board shall consider whether the proposed project is consistent with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") as implemented by Chapter 11 of the Uniform Code (as defined in § 98-2 of the Village of Tivoli Code). For uses proposed in existing buildings, the Planning Board shall consider whether there is an opportunity to achieve or improve ADA compliance. Proposals for changes in use, new buildings or alterations that increase, expand or extend gross floor area or height shall be referred to the Village Engineer and/or Code Enforcement Official for review to ensure that the buildings and their associated sites and facilities meet Uniform Code requirements for accessibility for individuals with disabilities to the maximum extent practicable.
