C. Architectural Elements.
(3) Commercial Intensive Exit 18.
(a) As illustrated by Figure 1,multiple principal buildings and/or infill development
is encouraged on individual sites. Editor's Note: Figure 1 is located at the end of
this chapter
(5)
(b) Traditional and/or varied rooflines should be used to add interest to and reduce
the massive scale of large buildings. This may include flat roofs, steeply
pitched, gabled, and/or dormered roofs with appropriately scaled overhangs
and/or cornice details.
(c) Design features shall be used to conceal rooftop equipment from public view at
the street level (note this does not include views from Interstate 87).
(d) Buildings shall incorporate design elements such as wall offsets, material, and
colors to reduce their perceived mass and maintain a pedestrian scale. Buildings
shall incorporate appropriately scaled features that express architectural or
structural elements (cornices, lintels, columns, frieze, etc.). These features may
be incorporated into doorways, windows, and along rooflines. Large blank walls
along primary and secondary streets, pedestrian spaces, or internal parking areas
are prohibited. Figure 1 provides several preferred design examples. Editor's
Note: Figure 1 is located at the end of this chapter
(e) Facades should incorporate a regular pattern of windows on the ground and
upper floors. Street level windows should allow views into the ground story. For
retail uses along roadways a majority of the ground floor (as measured by a
percentage of the overall wall area) shall be transparent.
(f) Each principal building on a site shall have clearly defined, highly visible
entrance(s). In order to fulfill this requirement entrances may include the
following design features:
[1] Canopies or porticos.
[2] Overhangs.
[3] Recesses/Projections.
[4] Arcades.
[5] Raised corniced parapets over the door.

places for sitting.

pedestrian-oriented. All sides of a principal building that directly face an
abutting public or private right-of-way shall feature at least one customer
entrance. Where a principal building directly faces more than two abutting
public or private rights-of-way, this requirement shall apply only to two sides of
the building, including the side of the building facing the primary street, and
another side of the building facing a secondary street.
(h) The Location of building entrances should reduce walking distances from cars,
facilitate pedestrian and bicycle access from public sidewalks, and provide
convenience where certain entrances offer access to individual stores, or
identified departments in a store. Multiple entrances also mitigate the effect of
the unbroken walls and neglected areas that often characterize building facades
that face bordering land uses.
(i) The number of entrances for the principal building shall be addressed at site
plan review. Where additional stores will be located in the principal building,
each such store shall have at least one exterior customer entrance, which shall
be in accordance with sub-sections `f through `h' above..

[2] Concrete panels.
[3] Prefabricated steel panels.
The Planning Board may consider the use of these materials in areas that will
not be viewed by the public (e.g., service and delivery entrances, etc.).
(1) Loading docks, truck parking, outdoor storage, utility meters, HVAC
equipment, trash dumpsters, trash compaction, and other service functions shall
be incorporated into the overall design of the building and the landscaping so
that the visual and acoustic impacts of these functions are fully contained and
out of view from adjacent properties and public streets, and no attention is
attracted to the functions by the use of screening materials that are different
from or inferior to the principal materials of the building and landscape.
F. Section 179-10-070, entitled "Specific Standards," is amended to add a new
subsection (AB)as follows:
A.B. All uses in the CI-18 Zone/District.
In addition to the application requirements for Special Use Permit as identified in 179-10-
040 all applicants for new or modified uses in the CI-18 District shall provide the following:
(1) A schematic plan depicting the floor area of all proposed uses. The plan shall include a
description of the planned uses utilizing the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
Land Use Codes as contained in the latest edition of the ITE Trip Generation Manual (or
a similar successor publication).
(2) An estimate of the trip generating characteristics of the planned uses utilizing the note
ITE reference. Should a project not fall within an ITE Land Use Code, documented trip
(8)
generating characteristics of sufficient sample size may be substituted subject to the
approval of the Town Engineer.
(3) A traffic impact analysis (or traffic study) shall be prepared consistent with generally
accepted industry practices (including ITE and NYSDOT guidelines). The NYSDOT
Highway Design Manual Chapter 5 shall serve as the standard. The Town and/or its
designees may stipulate the form, scope and content of the analysis.

traffic to an affected intersection. The Town's engineer shall advise the Planning
Board, during its review process and before it issues any approvals,about which
improvements the applicant should be required to construct.
(c) Where the trip generating characteristics of a proposed project exceed those
contemplated and examined in the Exit 18 Rezone [Traffic] Study, the project
applicant may be required to reduce the size or scale of the project so as to reduce the
trip generating characteristics of the project.
(5) The Town may utilize a Developer's Agreement to memorialize the conditions of
approval The purpose of such development agreement shall be to establish, in writing
and for the benefit of both parties,the specific parameters, conditions and requirements of
