[Added 6-17-1993;[1] amended 12-21-1996 by L.L. No. 8-1996; 9-3-2009 by L.L. No. 2-2009; 2-18-2010 by L.L. No. 3-2010; 10-7-2010 by L.L. No. 9-2010]The intent in creating this district is to accommodate existing residential uses. Appropriate uses in this category include existing attached and detached single-family dwellings and multiple-family dwellings. New commercial development shall employ architectural styling and detail that is consistent with the residential nature of the surrounding area. New residential development with access from Ridge Road should be discouraged. However, conversion of existing residential structures to more-intensive residential uses is appropriate for lots which do not meet standards for conversion to commercial use.

Multiple-family dwellings are also appropriate in conjunction with a limited range of first-floor commercial uses on lots which do not meet development standards for low- or medium-intensity commercial uses. The following shall apply in the LC-II District:A. Permitted uses shall include and be illustrated as follows:[Amended 3-3-2016 by L.L. No. 1-2016](1) All those permitted in the LC-I Neighborhood Commercial District.(2) Bank, credit union.(3) Restaurants, take-out, excepting those with drive-through facilities.(4) Communications towers.(5) "Mini storage" or self-storage facility or facilities.(6) Other similar uses which are not permitted in any other commercial district upon a finding by the Planning Board that such uses are of the same general character as those permitted in the district and that such uses will not be detrimental to the other uses within the district or to the adjoining land uses.(7) Uses requiring a special use permit by the Town Board, pursuant to Chapter 269, shall be as follows:(a) Permitted uses greater than 5,000 square feet.(b) Combinations of permitted uses into larger buildings, providing that the architectural style and detail is consistent with the residential nature of the surrounding areas.(c) Outdoor sports facilities.(d) Indoor sports facilities consistent with Subsection A(7)(a) and (c) above.B.

Dimensional requirements shall be as follows:(1) Minimum lot area: 30,000 square feet.(2) Maximum lot coverage: 20%.(3) Minimum lot width: 125 feet.(4) Maximum building height: 35 feet.(5) Minimum setbacks:(a) Front: 75 feet.(b) Side:[1] Structure: 20 feet.[2] Driveway: five feet, except in the case of a flag lot or a common driveway.(c) Rear: 50 feet.(6) Minimum buffer area (except where the district buffer area is applicable):(a) Front: 50 feet.(b) Side: 20 feet total.(c) Rear: 25 feet.C. District buffer area: The minimum district buffer area to any residential district shall be 50 feet. Upon a finding of the Planning Board that additional buffering is desirable because of the variation in levels of intensity of use between the district, the buffer may be increased to 100 feet.D.

Site plan approval under Chapter 269 of this Code is required.[1]Editor's Note: This ordinance also repealed former § 225-16 , R-R Residential Recreation District.
