The intent of this district is to allow for
the use and continued development of publicly owned and nonprofit
institutional property.
Facilities may include churches, parks, governmental offices, golf courses, nature preserves, public or private schools, recreational trails, cemeteries, public utility facilities, and telecommunication towers (Chapter 173 of the Code of the Town of Clarence).
A.
Internal setbacks for buildings shall be such that
circulation of auto and pedestrian traffic is accommodated and all
fire safety issues are addressed.
B.
Internal buildings shall be laid out in the form of
quadrangles or other well-defined open areas to give prominence to
important structures and to allow for gathering and pedestrian circulation.
C.
All parking required by the uses in this district
shall be provided on site and in sufficient number not to require
on-street parking or encroachment on adjacent property.
D.
Parking areas shall not encroach into any required
development setback and shall be interconnected within the property.
E.
Trash containers, storage areas, loading areas and
mechanical equipment shall be screened from public view.
Principal structures shall be built so that
they terminate a vista, where possible, and shall be of sufficient
design to create visual anchors for the property. All principal structures
on a property shall maintain a consistent architectural style.
B.
No accessory buildings designed, intended or used
for community facility purposes shall extend closer than 25 feet to
any side or rear lot line of any residential lot used wholly for residential
purposes, nor closer than 25 feet to any residential district boundary,
nor closer than 10 feet to any side or rear lot line wholly within
any commercial zoning district. Accessory buildings lying wholly to
the rear of the principal buildings shall not extend closer than 10
feet to the side or rear lot line, provided these lines do not designate
a residential district boundary or are in common with a lot used wholly
for residential purposes.
