PUBLIC NOTICE
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that a public hearing will be held before the Town
Board of the Town of Riverhead, at Riverhead Town Hall, 200 Howell Avenue,
Riverhead, New York, on the 20th day of May, 2015 at 7:10 o'clock p.m. to consider a
local law amending Chapter 108 entitled "Zoning" of the Riverhead Town Code as
follows:
Chapter 108. ZONING
ARTICLE LXIII. Planned Development (PD) Zoning Use District
108-333. Overview and historical background.
The former Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant at Calverton (NWIRP) in the
Hamlet of Calverton in the Town of Riverhead was previously owned by the United
States Navy and leased by the Grumman Corporation for final assembly and flight
testing of military aircraft. In 1996, Northrup Grumman closed nearly all of its facilities on
Long Island and chose not to renew its lease for NWIRP, causing economic dislocation
and unemployment for residents of the Town of Riverhead and the surrounding region.
In 1995, the Town of Riverhead commissioned the preparation of a comprehensive plan
for the redevelopment and reuse of the NWIRP site in order to guide its transformation
into an engine for regional economic growth. In 1996, a "Comprehensive Reuse
Strategy for the Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant at Calverton" was prepared,
which described how to manage the transition of the site from its dependence on
defense -related procurement to reliance on a broad range of private sector economic
activity. This resulted in the United States Navy conveying approximately 2,900 acres of
NWIRP to the Town of Riverhead in 1998, conditioned upon the Town's reuse of the
Property for economic development.
Subsequent to the 1998 conveyance, approximately 492 acres were subdivided from
the approximately 2,900 acres as a privately -held industrial subdivision (Calverton
Camelot). The remaining 2,323.9 +-acres, now known as the Enterprise Park at
Calverton (EPCAL) or EPCAL Property, is generally bounded by New York State Route
25 (Middle Country Road) to the north, industrial uses and Peconic Avenue to the east,
Grumman Boulevard (Swan Pond Road, also known as River Road) to the south, and
Wadinq River-Manorville Road to the west.
Beginning in 2011, the Town embarked on updating, developing and implementing a
reuse and revitalization plan to meet the current economic, market and site conditions.
The comprehensive and extensive analysis of economic, market, environmental, traffic,
sewer, water, and myriad other factors, together with participation of State, regional,
local departments and agencies, and other interested -groups resulted in a reuse and
revitalization plan that meets the economic and urban renewal goals of the original
conveyance and will assist the State, County, and Town in recapturing potential
investment, growth, and employment opportunities for this region.
On , the Town of Riverhead Town Board adopted a "Reuse and Revitalization
Plan for EPCAL," which functions as an urban renewal plan, for the aforesaid 2,323.9+ -
TA 5-5-15 Setting Public Hearing -Amend Chapter 108 Zoning -Add Article LXIII PD District
acre area. The "Reuse and Revitalization Plan for EPCAL" consists of two documents:
1) "Subdivision Map" and 2) "Reuse & Revitalization Plan."
This Planned Development Zoning District (PD District) is one of the instruments of
implementation of the public purposes and objectives of the "Reuse and Revitalization
Plan for EPCAL." The "Reuse and Revitalization Plan for EPCAL," in concert with the
PD District, establishes a comprehensive plan for the reuse of the EPCAL Property.
108-334. Authority and supersession of Town Law.
The action of the Town of Riverhead in the adoption of PD District is authorized under
Statute of Local Governments X10(6) and Municipal Home Rule Law

I. Parking and loading. Any application within the PD District shall be guided by the
Town's standard requirements for parking and loading, as prescribed in $108-60
and §108-61, respectively. However, the site applicant can request that the Town
Board reduce the required amount of parking and loading, provided that the site
application is accompanied by a parking and loading demand study. Such study
shall be submitted to the Town Board and shall include demand for parking for
the proposed use, determination of the appropriate locations for parking on the
project site, and number and location of handicapped parking spaces, as well as

landbanked parking and structured parking shall be encouraged.
§108-343. Design considerations.
The quality of the built environment and its relationship to the natural landscape is a key
indicator of quality of life. The objective of the design considerations for the PD District
is to provide high quality and complementary design of buildings, landscaping, parking,
and other site and building design characteristics. Special emphasis is placed upon
methods that reduce the large-scale visual impact of buildings and encourage
imaginative design for individual buildings. Further emphasis is placed upon the design
of the entrances to the EPCAL Property along New York State Route 25 (Middle
Country Road), as the gateways to the Enterprise Park.
A. Process.
The design considerations herein have been prepared to assist those proposing
new development in the EPCAL Property in the preparation of their designs and
plans. The considerations also provide a basis for the evaluation and review of
these designs by the Town Board. As a policy adopted by the Town, the design
considerations shall apply to all development within the EPCAL Property and
shall be considered as part of the Town's site plan approval process.
These design considerations set a benchmark to which all parties involved in
projects can refer and they supplement the limited, specific parameters such as
lot size and building height, as established in this Article. The Town Board
reserves the right to modify, waive or alter any of the design considerations
TA 5-5-15 Setting Public Hearing -Amend Chapter 108 Zoning -Add Article LXIII PD District
presented herein based on the scope, nature, and location of any specific project
proposal.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to review these design considerations during
the initial (design) phase of a project. Applicants are also encouraged to contact
the Town Board at an early stage of project design if any of the design
considerations mentioned in this document remain unclear, so as to avoid delays
and confusion durina the site plan review process.
The Town Board may request that the Planning Board and/or Architectural
Review Board review the aesthetic details of an application and its consistency
with the following design considerations as part of the Town Board's site plan
review.
B. Building mass and articulation.
Solid and unarticulated buildings are discouraged. The mass and scale of
buildings should be reduced by staggered building walls or other architectural
treatments to provide architectural interest and reduce the visual scale of a
building. Buildings at the gateway entrances to the EPCAL Property, where Road
`A' and Road 'D' meet New York State Route 25 (Middle Country Road) and
generally along the New York State Route 25 (Middle Country Road) frontage
should be distinctive in design, through the use of high quality architectural
materials, enhanced landscaping and signage, and appropriate lighting_
In addition, all buildings should include the following elements:
M The use of variations in height, roof lines and site grading is encouraged to
reduce the perceived height and mass of a building.
Building entries should be clearly defined and readily identifiable through the
use of canopies, marquees and architectural treatments.
Where possible, developments with smaller or multiple structures instead of
one large building are preferred to reduce building mass and scale.
Clusters of mature landscaping and berms should be located and designed in
accordance with architectural and building design features The landscaping
clusters should include a variety of trees and tall shrubs and should be
located to enhance entrances to buildings, screen parking lots, and buffer
views from abutting properties and natural land features that are outside the
PD District.
Small-scale landscape elements, such as planter walls and hedges, should
be clustered around building entrances.
Whenever possible, outdoor storage, trash, and recycling facilities should be
screened with fencing and landscaping and located in places that are not
visible from the street.
M Fences, while allowed, are subject to site plan review. Chain link fencing
screens (including those with slats) are strongly discouraged.
C. Materials.
M It is encouraged that the front and side elevations of all buildings and/or
structures be constructed of durable and high quality materials such as brick.
TA 5-5-15 Setting Public Hearing -Amend Chapter 108 Zoning -Add Article LXIII PD District
granite, or other masonry matter including architectural block or architectural
precast concrete. Painted or natural utility concrete panels or masonry units
should be confined to rear elevations and in loading dock areas.
Roof design should be as aesthetically pleasing as possible and should
screen mechanical equipment.
Glass windows or some similar architectural treatment should occupy at least
15% of the front elevation of a building. In addition, windows and glazing
should be in proportion with architectural scale, mass, and height of the
building.
D. Color and texture.
M Texture patterns are encouraged to create scale within the facades of the
building.
Variations in color should be kept to a minimum.
Colors should be subdued in tone.
Accent colors may be used to express corporate identity.
E. Signage and lighting.
M All signs must comply with Chapter 108 Supplementary Use Regulations
108-56.
Signs should be designed and placed to accentuate a building's architectural
features and be compatible with surrounding buildings.
Marquee signs listing multiple tenants should be avoided. If a sign directory is
required, the sign should contain no promotional advertising_
The number and size of signs should be minimized to avoid visual clutter.
Groups of related signs should express uniformity and create a harmonious
appearance.
Signage along New York State Route 25 (Middle Country Road) shall be
prohibited. .
Freestanding signs should be traditional in character and set upon a formal
base, enhanced by landscaping.
Signage lighting should be low-level and minimize glare—backlit and light -box
signage are undesirable.
Ideally, external and street lighting should be similar from one development to
the next in terms of fixture/light post style and color of light.
F. Pedestrian circulation.
M On-site concrete or brick sidewalks should be provided to create a continuous
Pedestrian network throughout the area.
Vehicular and pedestrian circulation patterns should be separated. A
landscaped area should provide a separation between a pedestrian and
vehicular path.
Where pedestrians and vehicle paths cross, that area should be designated
by changinq pavement materials, signals, signage, pavement texture or
Painted stripes.
Secure and convenient pedestrian walkway access should be provided from
parking lots, sidewalks, and primary entrances to the building. Sidewalks
TA 5-5-15 Setting Public Hearing -Amend Chapter 108 Zoning -Add Article LXIII PD District
should be barrier -free, a minimum of four feet in width and should be set back
a minimum of five feet from all buildings.
Pedestrian sidewalks should be provided along the frontage along New York
State Route 25 (Middle Country Road) so as to provide connectivity to the
continuous perimeter Walkway/Bike Trail within the EPCAL Property and
areas outside of the EPCAL Property.
108-344. Additional requirements.
A. Performance criteria. The following general performance criteria shall supersede
the requirements presented herein.
M To the extent applicable, development subject to the provisions of Article 6 of
the Suffolk County Sanitary Code shall meet the applicable requirements of
the Suffolk County Department of Health.
(2) All development shall be connected to the appurtenances of the Calverton
Sewer District.
To the extent applicable, development shall comply with the provisions of
Articles 7 and 12 of the Suffolk Sanitary Code.

the Town of Riverhead by the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation with respect to freshwater wetlands; the Wild, Scenic and
Recreational Rivers Systems; and endangered species.
All development fronting on New York State Route 25 (Middle Country Road)
shall provide a sufficient roadway buffer to accommodate future transportation
improvements, as required by the New York State Department of
Transportation.
All development involving significant discharges to groundwater and located
proximate to public water supply wells shall require measures to mitigate
impacts upon water quality as required under Article 17 of the New York State
Environmental Conservation Law. The Suffolk County Department of Health
Services' guidelines for private wells should be used for private wellhead
protection.
M Development within the PD District shall comply with Chapter 81
§108-345. Severability.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or part of this Article shall be adjudged or
determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment or
determination shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder of this Article, but shall
be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or part of this
Article directly involved in said Court judgment or determination.
