Density Bonuses <br /> ( 1 ) Article 6.27 - Affordable Housing <br /> (2) Article 7 - Planned Developments <br /> This item was presented by Mary Scearbo. In Summary this <br /> item was presented to receive citizen comment on a proposed Zoning <br /> Ordinance amendment which would allow application of density bonus <br /> provisions for affordable housing to all residential development <br /> projects. In May, 1990, the Zoning Ordinance was amended to allow <br /> a density increase of up to 50% for developments which reserve a <br /> percentage of the units for occupancy by low or moderate income <br /> households. At this time, the density bonus provisions apply only <br /> to Planned Developments. Recent legislation provides the authority <br /> for Orange County to extend the provisions to all developments <br /> subject to the Zoning Ordinance. The bonus provisions could then <br /> be applied to Site Plans, Special Use Permits, and Subdivisions. <br /> QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS, OR PLANNING <br /> BOARD <br /> None. <br /> QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC <br /> Mr. Jeff Peloquin asked if other concessions could be made for <br /> affordable housing, such as a leniency in the area of building <br /> permits, where the housing could be located, or to downsize the <br /> lot size. <br /> A motion was made b y Commissioner sio er Carey, seconded by <br /> Commissioner Gordon, to refer this item to the Planning Board for <br /> a recommendation to be returned to the Board of Commissioners no <br /> sooner than October 7th. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> d.
