HAMBURG SIA DISTRICT ZONING 3 Section 280-XZY Required Process A. Objective. The objective of this process is to ensure that the SIA is developed as part of a cohesive master plan approved by the Town Board. An applicant may not subdivide land within the SIA for the purposes of avoiding the objectives of this process. B. Approval for an application shall be through the Town’s Special Use Permit process in accordance with Article XLVI of this Chapter and any provisions of this Article XYZ. Where a conflict exists between the provisions of Article XLVI and this Article XYZ, the provisions of this Article shall prevail. C. For purposes of this Article XYZ, the Town Board shall authorize Special Use Permits. If the Town Board finds the application in accordance with the intent of this district and Bills Stadium Economic Impact Area Plan, the Town Board will refer the application to the Planning Board in accordance with Article XLVIII of the Town Zoning Code. The final approved Plan will represent the approved uses for the site. D. As part of the application process, the applicant shall submit a conceptual plan of development for the district and appropriate State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) information. As part of approval for the Special Use Permit, the Town Board must find the application in accordance with the intent of this district, the Buffalo Bills Stadium Economic Impact Area Plan, and the Comprehensive Plan. The final approved Plan will represent the approved uses for the site. E. A Special Use Permit shall only be granted for a single plan that covers the entirety of the SIA district, or multiple plans, where each plan complies with all design requirements of this district, the Buffalo Bills Stadium Economic Impact Area Plan, and the Comprehensive Plan and all plans in total meet all requirements of and cover the entirety of the entire SIA district. Any subdivision of land within the SIA must occur after a Special Use Permit approval is granted. Any land that has been subdivided is subject to the obligations and requirements associated with the master plan. F. Once a Special Use Permit is received for the uses and overall layout of the site, the owner of the site may need to come before the Planning Board for subdivision approval and to receive full site plan approval for proposed phases of the project. This approval will follow the requirements of site plan approval under Article XLIV but will only involve the Planning Board as a recommending board, with the Town Board responsible for subdivision and/or site plan approval. G. Once the Special Use Permit is granted, if the owner wishes to change the plan or change or add additional uses, a new application would need to be submitted, following the same procedure noted in Subsection A above. H. Alternative Approval Process 1. For the SIA Zoning District, the Hamburg Pre-permitted Site Incentive Law can be utilized to establish this site as a “Pre-Permitted” site in the Town of Hamburg. This process (described in the Pre-Permitted section of the zoning law), of obtaining a “Pre- Permitted” site designation, can allow the Town and future owners/developers of the site to set more parameters for development that relate to the impacts of the development of this site, and allow the development to take place without an extended process.
