| |||||||
The Town Board may, upon written application pursuant to the requirements of Article XIV of this chapter and its sections, consider and permit the change of the zone designation of a parcel of land to the PRD District and apply the zoning regulations of this district and establish any supplementary regulations thereto, wherein the health, safety and general welfare of the Town are concerned, in conjunction with the development or redevelopment of an area for a Planned Residential Development District, if, in its opinion, it shall find that the request is pursuant to and in the spirit of the provisions of § 322-2 and this section of this chapter. The purpose of such change shall be to enable and encourage the flexibility of design and the development of land which would provide for a diversification of residential housing types and forms of ownership in such a manner as to promote the most appropriate use of the land and to preserve the natural and scenic amenities of an area. Any area changed to the Planned Residential Development District shall have applications for building permits issued and construction started, as well as site construction, in accordance with the approved site plan within 18 months from the date of Town Board approval; otherwise, the Town Board may, upon its own initiative, hold a public hearing and revert the zoning back to its previous classification. | |||||||
