The new zones would include: Residential Third Density Exception Sixty-Six (R3-66), Residential Third Density Exception Sixty-Seven (R3-67), Residential Third Density Exception Sixty-Eight (R3-68), Residential Third Density Sixty-Nine (R3-69), Residential Third Density Exception Seventy (R3-70, Recreation (REC), Environmental Protection (EP), Community Services Exception Ten (CS-10) Zones. Holding provisions would be applicable to all of the zones (Holding Twenty-Four (H24)) to address needed site remediation, servicing capacity allocation, mitigation of impacts from the County landfill to the north and in the case of the potential elementary school block, an additional provision to address release of the block for residential uses if the school is not needed (Holding Twenty-Five (H25)).
The subject property is also subject to an application for Draft Approval of a Plan of Subdivision (Town File No. D1201218).
