§ 85-666. Planning Board incentive special permits.  


Latest version.
  • A. 
    The Planning Board shall be authorized to permit, where appropriate, specific special permit incentive uses within the District; subject to the criteria as set forth in Article VIII, § 85-107, in addition to the criteria contained herein. Similar to the incentive permitted uses, the intent is to encourage, promote and provide incentives for alternative uses to general business, in a manner that establishes less intense uses and improved aesthetics between the more established hamlet centers in Shirley and Mastic. The following uses, while achieving the goals of this part, may be construed as more intense than the permitted uses, and are more appropriate as uses which require an incentive special permit from the Planning Board.
