TOWN BOARD RESOLUTION 2014-703
Item # 3.3
ADOPTED DOC ID: 20459
Notice of Adoption to Repeal and Replace 330-248T, Sandy
Hollow Cove Residential Planned Development District
(SHCRPDD) to Allow for 28 Affordable Rental Apartments,
Hamlet of Tuckahoe
WHEREAS, on February 10, 2009 by Resolution 2009-212, the Town Board of the Town of

Hollow Cove Residential Planned Development District” (SHCRPDD) on a parcel

WHEREAS, the Change of Zone and any amendments thereto are considered a Type I Action
pursuant to SEQRA and Section 330-244 G of the Town Code; and
WHEREAS, after coordination with all involved agencies, by Resolution No. 2014-682 on May

Development District), of the Code of the Town of Southampton by repealing and replacing
330-248 (T) entitled ‘Sandy Hollow Cove’ (SHCRPDD)” is hereby adopted as follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. 19 OF 2014
A LOCAL LAW repealing and replacing Chapter 330 Section 248T of the Code of the Town of
Southampton to allow for a residential planned development district with 28 Community
Benefit rental units having a mix of studio, one- and two- bedroom units in the Hamlet of
Tuckahoe to be developed by Georgica Green Ventures LLC and managed in cooperation
with the Town of Southampton Housing Authority or other designated and approved
managing agent.
Generated 6/12/2014 Page 4
Southampton Town Board - Letter Board Meeting of June 12, 2014
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southampton as follows:
SECTION 1. Legislative Intent.
The Town Board of the Town of Southampton recognizes that Southampton has a high
percentage of citizens who are unable to afford to obtain quality housing in the Town as
prices have become prohibitive. This is creating a problem for the Town as the need for
municipal employees, teachers, emergency services, police officers, and other core
personnel increases and there are few opportunities for affordable housing for the local
workforce as well as seniors in our area who wish to 'age in place' but cannot afford the
rising costs of housing.
The intent of the creation of the Sandy Hollow Cove Residential PDD adopted initially by
Local Law 4 of 2009 and as replaced in this local law is to support creative, desirable and
affordable residential development by providing incentives and flexibility which encourages
the use of innovative planning and design techniques consistent with the recommendations
of the 1999 Comprehensive Plan Update. The residential PDD zoning adopted in 2009 is
currently intact on the subject parcel (SCTM 900-111-3-24) however in order to achieve the
Town’s affordable housing goals, the 100% affordable development project has been
restructured as a public-private development project with Georgica Green Ventures LLC, a
leader in affordable housing developments that endeavors to provide housing for the area’s
young adults, workforce and seniors at an affordable rate so that people can continue to live
in the community they love.
Enabling a diversity of housing stock will help to provide options for people in all different
life circumstances, especially Southampton’s cost-burdened population. Therefore, in order
to provide quality affordable housing that is also viable for financing, the project has been
redesigned to be consistent with the total size of the original project but the units will be
offered for rent instead of purchase, and this local law reflects the changes needed to
realize this plan. Allowing for rental units aligns with the 1999 Comprehensive Plan Update
that indicates that the “Town should seek to add to the inventory of rental units” and
further diversifies that by providing a mix of unit types (studio, one- and two-bedroom) with
the caveat that the overall density will not exceed 28 units with a total of 30 bedrooms,
which is less than what was approved originally. Ten Percent (10%) of the units will be fully
handicap-accessible and four percent (4%) will be built to accommodate residents who are
hearing and/or vision impaired.
In addition the conceptual layout of the RPDD has been redesigned so that it is more
dispersed over the 2.6 acre site with additional buffers added along the frontage of Sandy
Hollow Road. The architecture is reminiscent of a traditional farmhouse and outbuildings
where the rental units are within manor homes that look like single family dwellings. This
design maintains and enhances the rural character of the area, consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan Update which recommends that the Town “promote new construction
compatible with local and Town design”. Furthermore, in order to assure true affordability,
all of the proposed rentals will be built to the highest standards of energy efficiency and
environmental sustainability possible for developments of this size. The development will be
designed to exceed the minimum efficiency requirement and bring the property up to the
LEED for Homes program standards or equivalent which will reduce energy usage by 30%.
The Town Board’s intent is to promote diversity, affordability, and flexibility in the housing
supply. By dispersing different types of housing throughout all hamlets and neighborhoods
within the Town, preservation goals will still be achievable and there will not be an
inequitable burden in any one location. The Sandy Hollow Residential PDD zoning will allow
Generated 6/12/2014 Page 5
Southampton Town Board - Letter Board Meeting of June 12, 2014
for plan flexibility to ensure a successful project and in doing this the Town Board can
effectively respond to the growing need for quality rentals for our local workforce and
retiring seniors.
This local law shall take effect upon the filing of this Local Law with the Secretary of State
pursuant to the Municipal Home Rule Law. Pursuant to §330-244J, this local law shall expire
36 months after the date of approval by the Town Board unless the appropriate Planning
Board approvals have been obtained and substantial construction has begun.
SECTION 2Text Amendment.
.
The Town of Southampton Code Chapter 330 Section 248(T) as adopted by Local Law No. 4
of 2009 is hereby repealed in its entirety and replaced as set forth herein by adding the
underlined words as follows:
T. Sandy Hollow Cove Residential Planned Development District (SHCRPDD).
(1)Purposes and objectives. The Sandy Hollow Cove Residential Planned Development
District (SHCRPDD) is designed to accomplish the findings, purposes, and long-term
goals established by the Town Board as part of Article XXVI (Planned Development
District) of the Code of the Town of Southampton, and especially those established
for a residential planned development district. The SHCRPDD provides an alternative
type of multifamily housing. The primary intent of the SHCRPDD is to provide an
economically viable multi-family residential use consistent with the goals of the 1970
Town Master Plan and the 1999 Comprehensive Plan Update. In recognition of the
rising cost of housing and the increase in population growth, the proposed action to
amend the parameters of the existing residential planned development district is
intended as a means to provide twenty-eight (28) community benefit units to the
residents of the Town of Southampton. Establishment of the SHCRPDD will also
support implementation of the overall goals and recommended actions identified in
the Town's Comprehensive Plan by attaining the following objectives:
(a) Promote an efficient and purposeful use of vacant and previously disturbed land.

and economic needs of the residents of the Town of Southampton.
(c) Increase the amount of quality affordable rental housing for town residents or

material qualities of Southampton and does not stigmatize affordable housing.
