Board asks for yield-plan definition and parcel-size guidance for cluster developments
Summary
Planning staff defined a 'yield plan' and the board debated minimum parcel sizes for clustered-cottage developments and when SEQR review is required; members requested written definitions and SEQR training before advancing the code changes.
Nan told the board a yield plan "is basically a way to calculate the maximum number of units that would be allowed based on whatever the zoning district has for that district," and members agreed the term should be defined in the draft code so applicants and reviewers use a consistent method.
The board debated a two-acre minimum parcel size for clustered developments in the town (village examples may differ), noted that subdivision triggers change at the fifth lot, and requested SEQR/environmental-review training so members can determine when proposed cluster projects require environmental review.
