Village of East Aurora Site Plan Procedures

1. The Village of East Aurora adopted a new Zoning Code in October 2019. The new code is on the
  homepage of their website.

2. Prior to submission, applicants may schedule a sketch plan meeting with the reviewing board (Village
  Board or Planning Commission). Sketch plan meetings are advisory only and nonbinding. Mate1ials
  presented as pa.it of this meeting can be incomplete or conceptual in design. Contact the Village
  Clerk's office (716-652-6000) to determine the next available meeting date.

3. 1n addition to the specific Zoning District code requirements, also applicable are:
  a. Regulations for Ce1iain Uses (§285-31)
  b. Development Standards (§285-40)
  c. Signs (§285-44)
  ct. General Application and Review Procedures (§285-50)
  e. Site Plan Review (§285-51) processes and requirements

  For additional guidance, refer to the East Amora Commercial Design Guidelines as found on
  the Planning Commission webpage on the Village of East Aurora website at www.east-
  aurora.ny.us/govemment/planning-commission/.

4. If compliance with all applicable regulations is not feasible, an application to the Village Zoning Board
  of Appeals must be submitted prior to, or concurrently with, the Site Plan application.

5. Submission Deadline: A complete Site Plan application, supporting documents, and the required fee
  must be submitted no later than the first of the montb to the Code Enforcement Officer (CEO) at the
  Town of Aurora Building Department.

6. Submissions will be reviewed for completion by the CEO. Applicants will be notified by email/mail of
  any deficiencies. If the deficiencies are not corrected within 30 days, the application is considered
  withdrawn. Incomplete applications will not be placed on any Village Board agenda.

7. The Village Board may waive any of tbe Site Plan requirements with the determination thal they are
  unnecessary for a complete assessment of the project.

8. The Village Board may also request additional info1mation beyond what is listed on the checklist and may
  ask that it be presented in graphic fo1m, accompanied by a written text, and/or prepared by a licensed
  professional if such additional mate1ials are deemed necessary for a complete assessment of the site plan.

  tabled. Typically, the ViUage Board receives the application and refers it to the Planning Commission for
  review and recommendation. The application may also be referred to the Historic P!'eservation Commission
  or Tree Board for tbeir review and recommendations. Multiple meetings with the same reviewing board
  may be necessary.
