The following provisions shall apply to the designation of a specific plan district. All other applicable provisions of this town development code shall also apply. Where conflicts in regulations occur, the regulations specified in this chapter shall supersede and apply.
A. Upon approval of a specific plan, the specific plan zoning designation shall be applied to the zoning district map for the properties included in the specific plan.
B. Specific plan districts may provide innovative design and development standards that may vary from adopted town standards and between specific plan districts.
C. Specific plans may combine several land uses in the development plan as long as the uses are consistent with the land use designations and goals and policies of the general plan. Mixed uses may include any combination of residential, commercial, industrial, open space, and agricultural uses, and may occur among or within buildings as long as the uses are not incompatible with each other and with existing and potential uses surrounding the specific plan zone. The commercial mixed use general plan land use designation allows for a mix of commercial, office, and high density residential uses. Other mixes of land uses may require appropriate amendments to the general plan necessary to maintain consistency.
D. Standards for building coverage, height, orientation, as well as light and air, sign placement and design, site planning, street furniture placement and design, setback requirements, open spaces, off street parking, screening for specific plan uses, and other specified standards, shall be governed by the development standards set forth in the specific plan and other applicable codes and ordinances. Standards in an adopted specific plan may supersede the same or similar standards in other town codes and ordinances. Where no standards are provided in a specific plan, adopted town codes and standards shall apply.
E. The specific plan shall contain criteria providing for any required public and/or private open space and performance standards for the improvement and maintenance of such open space.
F. In accordance with town ordinances, all electrical and telephone facilities, fire alarm conduits, streetlight wiring, cable television, and other wiring, conduits or facilities shall be placed underground. Underground electric and telephone facilities shall be installed in accordance with standard specifications of the serving utilities. (Ord. 243, 10-15-2013)
