that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby the proposed
“A Local Law in relation to an Agricultural Planned Development
Local Law entitled,
District”
reads as follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. 2007
“A Local Law in relation to an Agricultural Planned Development
A Local Law entitled,
District”
.
BE IT ENACTED
by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows:
I. Legislative Intent.
Farmland is a critical component of the Town of Southold’s rural character. Agriculture
provides the cornerstone of the land use environment valued by year-round residents as well as
visitors. Numerous planning documents and studies in the Town’s comprehensive planning over
the past 20 years have recognized this value and have recommended strategies to preserve this
key resource. In recent years, the Town has engaged in an aggressive effort to preserve farmland
through the use of a variety of conservation tools, most notably the purchase of development
rights. The Town has joined with other governmental agencies at the Federal, State and County
levels, and with conservation groups such as the Peconic Land Trust to further its efforts.
In addition, the Town has made use of various long- and short-term funding options to purchase
interests in farmland, such as the Community Preservation Fund (CPF) transfer tax, voter-
approved bonds and grants. The Town Board recognizes that preservation efforts must continue
in accordance with the Town’s comprehensive planning efforts and initiatives. Additional funds
will be required, and if possible, leveraged, to enable the Town to continue to purchase interests
in farmland and retain the Town’s rural character.
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - August 28, 2007
Page 35
The Town Board determines that its land preservation efforts can best be accomplished
through a number of legislative initiatives. This local law creates an Agricultural Planned
Development District, a floating zone classification. The Agricultural Planned Development
District is intended to encourage the preservation and conservation of farmland, while preserving
land equity. It is intended to provide incentive to Landowners dedicated to the preservation and
conservation of farmland. New York State Town Law Sections 261-a and 261-c provide the
framework to accomplish these goals.
The Town Board seeks through this legislation to provide for the incremental sale of
development rights by landowners whose property is actually used in agricultural production.
This will be accomplished by providing a source of funds to facilitate agricultural production
without requiring the sale of all development rights applicable to the property, at the same time
reducing the density potential on the property. The benefit to the Town, in addition to
facilitating agricultural production, is the assurance that the Town will have the option purchase
the remaining development rights on a parcel, excepting those that are necessary for a
conservation subdivision at the density/open space percentage as required by this legislation.
II. Chapter 280 of the Code of the Town of Southold is hereby amended to create
a new Article XXX, as follows:
Sec. 280-170. Purpose.
The Agricultural Planned Development District emphasizes the importance of agriculture
as both a vital economic base and as a land form that provides the town with much of its rural
character and scenic beauty. This program will provide the landowner with another mechanism
to access the equity in his land by providing him with development rights that can be
immediately transferred or sold, incrementally or at one time, to facilitate the preservation of
farmland without having to subdivide his property. The development rights can be sold on an
incremental basis while assuring the Town of the opportunity to purchase the remaining
development rights applicable to the property, except those that may be used to develop a
conservation subdivision. This Agricultural Planned Development District creates a mechanism
whereby the property can be rezoned upon application of the landowner.
280-171 Definition
DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS -- The rights permitted to a lot, parcel, or area of land under a
zoning ordinance or local law regarding permissible use, area, density, bulk, or height of
improvements executed thereon.
280-172. Classification.
A. The Agricultural Planned Development District (AgPDD) is established as a Planned
Development District pursuant to Town Law Section 261-c.
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - August 28, 2007
Page 36
B. The AgPDD classification may be considered on a floating zone basis. Upon rezoning to
the AgPDD classification, all principal and accessory uses, restrictions and controls listed in the
specific AgPDD shall govern the lands subject to the rezoning.
280-173. Requirements for Eligibility.
All properties meeting the standards and criteria set forth in this Article shall be deemed
eligible for rezoning as an AgPDD. In order to be considered for rezoning to AgPDD, lands in
the Town of Southold must meet all of the following criteria:
A. The lands must consist of a sub-dividable parcel of at least seven (7)acres meeting the
Town’s preservation goals and included in the Community Preservation Project Plan (CPPP),
which may consist of a lot designated as a separate tax map number, or of two or more
contiguous lots with separate tax map numbers. A landowner may also apply for the rezoning of
a parcel contiguous to property already zoned AgPDD or already preserved, even if smaller than
seven (7) acres.
B. The parcel must be enrolled in an agricultural district or individual commitment, pursuant
to Article 25AA of New York State Agriculture and Markets Law.
C. The Town Board must find that the parcel provides an environmental, physical,
economic, aesthetic, social or cultural benefit to the Town.
280-174. Zoning Approval; Application and review procedure.
The Town Board may rezone lands from that of their underlying zoning district to the AgPDD
classification upon written application of the landowner pursuant to this Article.
A. Application. An applicant shall submit two (2) copies of the following to the Town
Board:
1. Form of Application approved by the Town Board, including the name of the owner
and/or applicant, description of current use of the property, and disclosure affidavit;
2. Deed(s) covering all lands for which application is made;
3. Survey(s) or map(s) showing all lands proposed to be rezoned to AgPDD, and any
improvements on those lands.
B. Upon receipt of a completed application, the Town Board shall review the application at
a worksession and make a preliminary determination whether the Board is interested in
considering rezoning of the parcel to AgPDD. If the Town Board is interested in considering the
rezoning, it shall refer the application to the Planning Board and the Land Preservation
Committee for review and recommendation.
C Upon receipt of the application, the Land Preservation Committee shall consider the
application at its next meeting and prepare recommendations to the Town Board with a copy to
the Planning Board.
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - August 28, 2007
Page 37
D. If the applicant seeks agricultural and/or residential structure areas, the placement shall
be agreed upon among the Land Preservation Committee, the Planning Board and the landowner.
E. Upon recommendation of the Planning Board and the and the Land Preservation
Committee, the Land Preservation Coordinator shall commission a survey and a title search of
the property, which will be forwarded to the Planning Department upon receipt.
F. The Planning Department will calculate the yield on the parcel based on the zoning in
effect at the time of the application. Yield will be calculated as follows:
Buildable Lands ÷ Minimum Lot Area of Zoning District= Yield on Entire Parcel.
The landowner will be informed of the number of development rights available on the parcel.
Any fractional amount shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Any existing non-
agricultural production uses shall reduce the number of development rights available for sale on
a parcel.
G. Environmental Review. The Town Board shall comply with SEQRA in acting upon any
application for the rezoning of any lands to the AgPDD classification.
H. The Planning Board and other committees shall provide a report within ninety (90) days
of the date of the meeting at which the referral is received from the Town Board. No action shall
be taken by the Town Board until receipt of the Planning Board report and other Committee
reports, as applicable, or the expiration of its 60-day review period, whichever comes first. The
review period may be extended by mutual consent of the applicant, the Town Board, the
Planning Board, and the Land Preservation Committee.
I. Planning Board Report. The Planning Board may recommend approval, approval with
conditions, or disapproval of the proposed rezoning. In preparing its report, the Planning Board
shall take into account the recommendations of the Southold Town Farm and Farmland
Protection Strategy, adopted as policy by Town Board resolution of January 18, 2000 and
supporting documents, the recommendations of the Land Preservation Committee, the studies
contained in the Town’s comprehensive planning efforts and initiatives, the existing
characteristics of the property and the surrounding properties, the environmental, social,
physical, aesthetic, economic and cultural aspects of the property and its surroundings, and such
other factors as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this Article and this Chapter. The
Planning Board’s report shall provide detailed reasons for its recommendation.
J. Public Hearing. Within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the Planning Board report, or the
expiration of the Planning Board review period, whichever occurs first, the Town Board may
schedule a public hearing on the application, with the same notice prescribed for zoning
amendments.
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - August 28, 2007

K. Town Board Action. Within thirty (30) days of the date of the closing of the public
hearing, the Town Board shall either approve or disapprove the rezoning and file its decision
with the Town Clerk, with notice to the applicant. In approving such rezoning, the Town board
shall determine, after considering the Planning Board’s recommendation, that the subject parcel
contains adequate resources, environmental quality and public facilities, including adequate
transportation, water supply, waste disposal and fire protection, and that there will be no
significant environmentally damaging consequences. If approved, the Town Board shall amend
the zoning map of the Town in accordance with the approval and forward a copy of the
resolution containing the decision to the Planning Board, the Land Preservation Committee, the
Agricultural Advisory Committee, and the applicant. Any such approval shall be subject to the
Conditions of Approval as set forth below in 280-175 of this Chapter.

sell at least one (1) development right to the Town. The landowner shall file a
Preservation Easement (the “Easement”) on the property following the sale, in the
form provided by the Town, which shall indicate that at least one (1) development
right has been sold, and shall also indicate the number of remaining development
rights available for sale or transfer from the parcel.
a. The easement shall be in a standard form, acceptable to the Landowner and
the Town Attorney and shall be consistent with the terms of the AgPDD.
b. The easement shall be recorded in the Office of the Suffolk County Clerk.

Southold Town Meeting Agenda - August 28, 2007
Page 39
acceptable to the Town. The conservation easement shall list the number of development rights
sold and the number remaining, based on the yield for the parcel as set forth at the time of
rezoning to AgPDD.
B. At the discretion of the Town, the Town may commission a new survey and a title search
of the property.
C. The Land Preservation Coordinator shall make a determination of the number of

Preservation Committee. The Land Preservation Committee shall make a recommendation to the
Town Board on the purchase of development rights.
D. The Town Board shall hold a public hearing on the question of the purchase of
development rights from the AgPDD zoned parcel, and may adopt a resolution approving or
disapproving the sale. Any resolution shall set forth the number of development rights purchased
and the number remaining on the parcel. At the time of sale, a preservation easement as set forth
above in 280-175 shall be filed indicating the additional number of development rights that have
been extinguished from the parcel, and the remaining number of development rights.
E. Development rights may be purchased by the Town in increments of one-half (1/2) of a
development right.
F. The Town Board shall not be required to purchase development rights from a parcel
zoned AgPDD sooner than 180 (one hundred and eighty) days after the previous purchase on the
same parcel, and any refusal by the Town to do so shall not be considered an election not to

G. Upon the landowner’s application, the Town shall purchase ten percent (10%) of the
landowners residual development rights, or not less than one full development right, per calendar
year. Any fractional amount shall be rounded to the nearest half of a development right. The

agree to close in the same year.
I. Participation in the AgPDD shall not preclude the landowner from participation in other
preservation programs, including but not limited to, negotiating with the Town for the sale of all
development rights. If the landowner chooses to negotiate with the Town for sale of development
rights, the Town will pay for the appraisal one time. Any subsequent negotiations and application
for sale of development rights through the Land Preservation program will be permitted,
however the Town will obtain the appraisal at the expense of the landowner.
280-178. (Reserved)
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - August 28, 2007
Page 40
280-179. Clearing House.
The Land Preservation Coordinator will maintain a log indicating the development rights sold
and remaining on any parcel zoned AgPDD. The easement executed and recorded by the
landowner at the time of each sale will indicate the number of development rights sold and the
number remaining on the parcel.
§280-180 Conditions
A. Any reserved area for development shall be set by the Town Board and defined in the
Town Code at the time of rezoning to AgPDD. A landowner may apply to the Town Board to
amend such code if circumstances have changed since the rezoning. Any new additional reserved
area will be deducted from the available development rights on the parcel, and any reduction in
the reserved area may increase the development rights available on the parcel. Any reserved area
for development shall not exceed 20% of the buildable area of the parcel.
B. Any structure proposed on a parcel which is zoned AgPDD will require the approval of
the Land Preservation Committee prior to issuance of a building permit. The approval of the
committee shall take into account the conditions set forth in the preservation easement on the
property.
C. If a residential structure exists on property zoned AgPDD, any new structure accessory to
such residence must be located within 150 feet of the existing residential structure.
D. Any structures, other than those for agricultural production, shall reduce the number of
development rights available for sale or transfer.
E. If the Town elects not to purchase 10% of development rights as set forth in 280-177G, the
landowner may pursue a Standard Subdivision as set forth in §280-181C. If there has been a
subsequent request by the landowner for purchase of development rights and an agreement by
the Town to purchase at least 10% development rights pursuant to §280-177G, the landowner is
not eligible to pursue a standard subdivision.
§280-181 Subdivision
A. If the landowner of property zoned AgPDD files for subdivision of the property, the land
Preservation Coordinator shall advise the Planning Board of the number of development rights
remaining on the parcel.
B. Any conservation subdivision of AgPDD property must accomplish preservation of eighty
percent (80%) of the parcel, and density reduction of seventy-five percent (75%) of the original
yield. If the landowner elects to pursue this Conservation Subdivision, the land preserved by sale
of development rights shall apply toward the required preservation component.
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - August 28, 2007
Page 41
C. If the Town elects not to purchase 10% of development rights as set forth in 280-177G,
the landowner may pursue a Standard Subdivision. For a period of ten years from the date of the
Town’s election not to purchase development rights pursuant to §280-177G, the yield for the
subdivision shall be based on the zoning in effect on the parcel at the time it was zoned AgPDD,
after which the yield shall be that of the underlying zone in effect as of the date of the
subdivision. Any land preserved by sale of development rights shall not be applied toward any
preservation or subdivision open space requirement. The yield calculated pursuant to §280-174F
shall not be the yield for the standard subdivision. The standard subdivision yield shall be
calculated pursuant to Chapter 240 of the Town Code.
III. SEVERABILITY
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or part of this Local Law shall be adjudged by any
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the judgment shall not affect the validity of this law
as a whole or any part thereof other than the part so decided to be unconstitutional or invalid.
