Property owners/developers shall also be responsible for mitigating direct impacts of their development on public infrastructure and in all cases mitigation shall bear a reasonable relation to the development impacts. Impacts may be determined based on reports prepared by qualified consultants. The extent of mitigation and public amenity improvements shall be balanced with the goals of redevelopment and will be determined by the Planning and Environmental Commission in review of development projects and conditional use permits. Mitigation of impacts may include, but is not limited to, the following: employee housing per the town’s current employee housing policy; roadway improvements; pedestrian walkway improvements; streetscape improvements; stream tract/bank improvements; public art improvements; and similar improvements. The intent of this section is to only require mitigation for large scale redevelopment/ development projects which produce substantial off site impacts.
