Legislative Intent. indicates that the Towns Office District (OD) was The 1999 Comprehensive Plan Update created out of the 197 master plan in order to create a transition area between business 0 and residential districts It was extensively mapped along major streets adjoining and . proximate to hamlet centers shopping centers and highway business areas. However ,,, Generated 10/29/2015 Page 6 Southampton Town Board -LetterBoard Meeting of October 27, 2015 since the demand for conventional offices is limited, the Update recommends that the OD district be generally replaced with the Hamlet Office/Residential District (HO) This district . permits offices and selected retail/service establishments as well as residential uses . In the subject zoning change that is being contemplated, the adopted Eastport/ Speonk/Remsenburg/Westhampton Area Study recognizes the small farms, historic residential neighborhoods, scenic corridor along Old Country Road, and Cooks Pond in Westhampton as well as the way that the terminus of Mill Road at Montauk Highway serves as a transition into the Village of Westhampton Beach. Currently this area has a mix of uses and is primarily zoned Office District (OD). To accomplish the objectives of maintaining West strip development and providing an orderly transition in uses, density and bulk between the existing residential, retail and office development, Hamlet Office/Residential (HO) would replace the current Office District (OD) zoning along Mill Road and Montauk Highway in Westhampton as recommended in the Area Study as the permitted uses, scale of development and design restrictions would render development that is more compatible with the surrounding community character. These areas should maintain their current residential scale as a transition to adjacent commercial (retail/office), open space or residential development. HO would generally allow offices, housing, and low-traffic generating retail and service uses such as those now allowed in office districts, i.e. antique stores, galleries, restaurants but without liquor licenses). High traffic/impact uses would not be allowed, i.e. video stores, liquor stores, fast food establishments, Laundromats, dry cleaners, and gas stations. In addition, HO zoning would entail performance standards, requiring that buildings appear to be residential (no front parking, ear or side parking), use residential style setbacks, reduced lot coverage, i.e. 20% - 25%, small building footprints, i.e. up - to 3,000 square feet, residential style windows and entries, pitched roofs, and discrete signage. The proposed Hamlet Commercial/Residential (HC) zoning would replace properties to the east of John Way along Mill Road in the transition areas that leads to the Village of Westhampton Beach Business District. The HC zone would involve much the same design and performance standards as HO zoning, but would allow by special exception some of the commercial and retail uses allowed in the Village Business districts, in addition to housing, offices and other HO uses. SECTION 2. Amendment. The rezoning contemplated is identified specifically by parcel and district change in the following chart: From OD to HO: From OD to HC: From OD/R20 to HC SCTM: 900-357-1-1 900-357-3-2.1 900-351-1-14.5 900-357-1-40 900-357-3-63 900-351-1-3 900-357-3-3 900-357-1-4 900-357-3-5.1 900-357-1-6 900-357-1-39 SECTION 3.
