Syracuse Lakefront 11/18/2013 1:02:56 PM Page 1 of 3 ON-16 Z L U S L duty or heavy duty motor vehicle repair; and hotels and motels. The Lakefront Urban Center District is a form-based section of the Zoning Code rather than regulation based primarily on uses and dimensions. This type of land use regulation focuses on the creation of a dignified public realm with interconnecting streets lined with buildings. Because the uses are varied, they are harmonized using regulations that address design issues such as building type and placement, facades, streetscapes, and street layout. Prohibited uses in this district include billboards; freestanding towers for wireless communications (transmitting devices attached to buildings shall be permitted); gasoline service stations, motor vehicle repair, motor vehicle sales, parking lots in the first layer of a lot, and drive- through windows. In addition to the Class B Industrial District and the Lakefront Urban Center District, the site also falls under the Tourism Overlay District. The underlying zoning and regulating plan, where applicable, for the area covered by the Tourism Overlay District shall remain in effect, except where an applicant has received approval for an application for development under the provisions of the Tourism Overlay District regulations, in which case the underlying zoning shall be superseded. Permitted uses in the Tourism Overlay District include golf courses, including club houses and other accessory uses thereto; auditoriums, stadium and other sports venues, theaters, skating rinks, bowling alleys, indoor amusement venues, entertainment venues, parks and playgrounds; hotels, motels, and related lodging facilities; restaurants; studios, galleries, museums and exhibition areas; spas; convention centers; marinas, water parks and aquariums; retail and service stores, office buildings, employment training facilities, tourism centers and banks, except for free-standing retail commercial uses (commonly referred to as “big box” or “strip commercial” retail) exceeding 60,000 square feet in gross floor area; dwellings, apartments, condominiums, and tourist lodging; parking lots, on-site parking, private garages, parking garages, mass transit and public transportation facilities and warehouse/distribution facilities used in connection with tourism uses within or outside of the TO district; research, development and light manufacturing facilities for renewable energy generation, cogeneration facilities, and distribution of energy generated for or used in connection with tourism related uses and uses permitted by the underlying zoning; and any related uses not specifically listed above that the Planning Commission determines will further the intent of Section B-IX, Article 6. Additionally, retail frontage is required on the parcels along Solar Street across from the Inner Harbor.

Off Street Parking Off-street parking requirements are categorized by use in the City of Syracuse. Use as an office building requires at least one (1) parking space shall be provided for each five hundred (500) square feet of net floor area used for office purposes while for uses which exceed one thousand (1000) square feet in net floor area, the first one thousand (1000) square feet of net floor area shall be included in calculating the required number of parking spaces. In the Lakefront Urban Center District, parking requirements are based on use. Residential units require one space per dwelling unit. Use as lodging requires one space per bedroom and one for each on-duty employee. Office use requires one space for each 500 net square feet while retail and child care require one space for each 350 sq. ft. of gross retail space. Light manufacturing, water-dependent uses, or civic uses necessitates a special permit from the Planning Board. Required parking does not need to be provided on-site, as long as it is located within two blocks of the building. Parking lots shall be at the Second or Third Layer from the frontage and shall be screened by a building, streetwall, or continuous hedge between 3.5 and 4.5 feet in height. Streetwalls shall be constructed of a material matching the adjacent building faade.

Syracuse Lakefront 11/18/2013 1:02:56 PM Page 2 of 3 ON-16 Z L U S L Openings in such streetwalls and hedges shall be no larger than necessary to allow automobile and pedestrian access. If, due to site constraints or a pre-existing condition, a parking lot is located in the first layer, it shall be screened by a streetwall and/or hedge.

Set-backs The Lakefront Urban Center District has a build-to-line of 0-12 feet, rather than a front yard minimum setback. Minimum side and rear yard setbacks in this district are 0 feet. In the Class B Industrial District, there are no setback requirements unless the parcel abuts a residential use, in which case the setback requirements of the residential district shall apply. The site will not abut any residential properties as it is bounded by the Inner Harbor, Intestate-81, and the Lakefront Urban Center District which is a mixed-use zone.

Percent of Site that 100.00% may be utilized

Control of Nuisances such as noise, odor, glare, fumes, and dust are characteristics that are considered in the Nuisances issuance of special permits in the City of Syracuse. Such nuisances in objectionable or offensive situations are also generally prohibited from Class B Industrial Districts.

Height Restrictions Unless abutting a residential district, there are no building height restrictions in the Class B Industrial District. The Lakefront Urban Center District requires building heights between two and six stories.

DEVELOPMENT IMPLICATIONS SUMMARY

The site, located within the City of Syracuse, contains portions zoned Class B Industrial District and other portions zoned Lakefront Urban Center District. The Class B Industrial District permits most forms of light industrial, warehousing, and office use. The Lakefront Urban Center District is a form-based section of the Zoning Code rather than regulation based primarily on uses and dimensions. This type of land use regulation focuses on the creation of a dignified public realm with interconnecting streets lined with buildings. Because the uses are varied, they are harmonized using regulations that address design issues such as building type and placement, facades, streetscapes, and street layout. Building-form-based regulations are employed via the site plan approval process. Additionally, the site is blanketed by a Tourism Overlay District. The underlying zoning and regulating plan, where applicable, for the area covered by the Tourism Overlay District shall remain in effect, except where an applicant has received approval for an application for development under the provisions of the Tourism Overlay District regulations, in which case the underlying zoning shall be superseded. Office building use is permitted in the district as well as tourism-related warehousing and renewable-energy-related light manufacturing. Other forms of light industrial or warehousing use would need to be addressed during the site plan approval process. Lastly, retail frontage is required on the parcels along Solar Street across from the Inner Harbor as part of the general regulating plan.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS SUMMARY

Prior to the site being developed a wetland delineation of the entire site should be performed. Development of the site could result in impacts to Waters of the in the form of streams and wetlands. Areas within the 100-year floodplain should be avoided or elevated to reduce potential flooding impacts. A cultural/historic resource review should be completed on-site prior to any development. A threatened and endangered species habitat assessment should also be completed on site prior to development.
