§ 101-3. Applicability., Chapter 101. Site Plan Review, Part II. General Legislation, Code of Ordinances, Greenport, Town

Site plan required. The following uses require submittal of a site plan application to the Town of Greenport Planning Board and approval thereof prior to the issuance of a building permit or certificate of occupancy:

(1)

New uses. All newly developed or constructed sites for which one or more categories of uses is proposed:

(a)

Commercial use: any use involving the sale or rental or distribution of goods, services or commodities, either in retail or wholesale, or the provision of recreation facilities or activities for a fee. A commercial use with no permanent structures, which operates fewer than six consecutive months annually, and which occupies fewer than 1,000 square feet, inclusive of parking, does not require site plan review but may be subject to Chapter 94, Peddling and Soliciting.

(b)

Industrial use: the use of buildings and land, or both, for the purpose of manufacturing or producing, in whole or in part, any type of product or goods, and uses that involve the subsequent sale, trade or storage of such goods.

(c)

Multifamily dwelling units: a building that contains more than two dwelling units used, intended, or designed to be used, rented, leased, or let or hired out to be occupied by one or more persons. A "dwelling unit" is a single unit providing complete, independent living facilities for one or more persons, including permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation.

(d)

Any other use not otherwise enumerated in this subsection, except a single-family or two-family residential dwelling.

(2)

Existing uses. Expansions, additions, deletions or structural or site changes to existing uses, changes in exterior site features, changes in parking layout, changes to material landscaping, or any changes in the intensity of the existing use. As applied to this subsection, a change in the intensity of an existing use shall mean any change that would potentially increase traffic, noise, or exterior ambient light levels on the site of adjacent properties.

(3)

Application process. The Code Enforcement Officer/Building Inspector shall review all applications he/she receives and determine whether or not a site plan review is required pursuant to § 101-3A(1) and (2). If the Code Enforcement Officer/Building Inspector determines that a site plan review is required, the Code Enforcement Officer/Building Inspector shall refer the applicant to the Planning Board for such review prior to the issuance of a building permit, certificate of occupancy, or certificate of compliance.
