the above-mentioned Village Board and Planning Commission meetings, are herein incorporated by reference, including the following findings of the Planning Commission: Findings: o As proposed, the project is inconsistent with the current Comprehensive Plan for the Village of East Aurora. o The proposed use is not inconsistent with certain surrounding land uses in the vicinity of the project site. o The applicant is willing to accept legally binding restrictions limiting the property exclusively to the proposed senior housing subdivision, including the incorporation of a reversion clause. o While the project would benefit the applicant, the applicant has demonstrated through a market study that there is a need for market-rate senior housing in the area. o The applicant has proposed market-rate senior housing and has not proposed affordable housing, workforce housing, public amenities, or other community benefits tied specifically to the requested rezoning. o The parcel could potentially be developed more consistently with its current zoning designation as an office or medical park; however, the agent for API Delevan stated that there is limited market demand for such uses. o The Town's recently completed Comprehensive Plan prioritizes general residential (GR) development in the areas that are already served by sanitary sewers, while also noting that few such sites in the Town are suitable for developments of this size. o The applicant has demonstrated that adequate downstream sanitary sewer capacity exists to serve the proposed development. o The applicant has determined that the proposed project will have only a minor impact on traffic. o The proposed project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in that it would increase the variety of housing types available within the Village. o The proposed project is viewed as better addressing the Village's current housing needs than the uses permitted under the current zoning designation. Conditions: o The project shall be limited exclusively to market-rate senior housing for residents aged 55 and older. o Condition 1 shall be incorporated as a deed restriction on the property. o A reversion clause shall be included in the deed providing that the property shall revert to its current zoning classification if the preceding conditions are not satisfied. The Resolution of the Village Board considering the environmental impacts of the project and the issuance of a Negative Declaration of Environmental Significance is incorporated herein by reference.
