work, shop, dine, be entertained, enjoy community and cultural events,
and contribute to the economic viability of the Neighborhood Center
District and the Town of Ledgeview as a whole, The Neighborhood Center

Center on the future land use map of the Town of Ledgeview Comprehensive
Plan. Areas include the CTH G and CTH GV, CTH GV and CTH X, CTH G
and Lime Kiln Road, Ledgeview Business Park, and CTH MM and Elmview
Road intersections.
B.
This district will be appropriate in areas of the Town of Ledgeview
where commercial, lodging, residential, and civic activities are desirable
for the benefit of the residents and the Town in general.
C.

standards serve to widen the Town of Ledgeview's economic base and
further the development of the neighborhood center as recommended
in the Neighborhood Center District Model and the Town of Ledgeview
Comprehensive Plan.

(3)
Any item not listed above is prohibited.
There shall be a mixture of uses within each NCD as follows:
A.
Each district shall have at least two uses provided that the Town
Board may waive this requirement if the district is an infill project
or at least two uses are already present within 1/4 mile of the proposed
district. For purposes of this section, an "infill project" is a project
in which a parcel is developed or redeveloped, where abutting or nearby
parcels are already developed, and where the project area is relatively
small compared to the developed abutting or nearby parcels.
B.
Each district shall have at least two different general use classifications
(i.e., residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, parks,
or recreational facilities open to the public) provided that this
requirement may be waived by the Town Board if a different use is
already present within 1/4 mile of the proposed district and accomplishes
the mixture of uses within the neighborhood sought to be achieved
by this section to an equivalent degree.
C.
The mixture of uses shall be based upon the uses recommended in the
land use element of the Comprehensive Plan. The required mixture of
uses may be obtained with different uses in different buildings or
a mixture of uses within the same building.
Each NCD shall include the following:
A.
Greenspace. Greenspace is the total undeveloped, open area used for
landscaping, recreation and landscaping. The minimum area devoted
to greenspace is as follows:
(1)
For areas shown in the land use element of the Comprehensive
Plan as Neighborhood Center, the area devoted to greenspace shall
be at least 15% but not more than 25% of the gross acreage of the
site.
(2)
For areas having a land use designation not addressed in Subsection A(1), the recommendations of the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan shall guide the minimum area devoted to greenspace.
(3)
The Town Board at the request of the applicant may reduce the
minimum area devoted to greenspace. In acting on a request, the Board
shall consider the relationship of the site to adjoining or nearby
properties containing public greenspace, such as parks or natural
areas; the known future uses of the adjoining properties; and whether
a reduction would better achieve the goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
B.
Amenities. Amenities are greenspaces with landscaping, pathways,
benches, gazebos or other similar aesthetic enhancements. The minimum
area devoted to amenities is as follows:
(1)
For areas shown in the land use element of the Comprehensive
Plan as Neighborhood Center, the area devoted to amenities shall be
at least 15% of the gross acreage of the site. If at least 15% is
not provided, a fee in lieu of dedication shall be paid in an amount
equal to the percentage of the value of the project, if approved by
the Town of Ledgeview. [Example: If a project valuing $500,000 is
submitted with only 10% amenities, then 5% of the value of the project
is due as a fee in lieu of dedication ($25,000).]
(2)
Amenities preserving existing natural areas and future environmental
areas in the Comprehensive Plan arc encouraged.
(3)
For areas having a land use designation not addressed in Subsection B(1), the recommendations of the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan shall be guidance on the minimum area devoted to amenities.
(4)
The Town Board at the request of the applicant may reduce the
minimum area devoted to amenities. In acting on a request, the Board
shall consider these factors: the relationship of the site to adjoining
or nearby properties containing amenities; the proportion of residential
uses to nonresidential uses proposed; the known future uses of the
adjoining properties; and whether or not a reduction would better
achieve the neighborhood model goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
C.
Additional requirements for amenities. Amenities shall also be subject
to the following:
(1)
At least 90% of the residential units in the NCD shall be within
a one-quarter-mile walk of an amenity.
(2)
The size, location, shape, slope, and condition of the land
shall be suitable for the proposed amenity.
(3)
The amenity shall be suitable for the specific population to
be served.
(4)
The design of any recreational facilities shall meet the minimum
design requirements from recognized sources of engineering and recreational
standards.
(5)
In nonresidential areas of the development, amenities shall
be located so that they are easily accessible to patrons and employees
of the development.
D.
Greenspace within parks and recreational amenities. Any portion of
an amenity, including a trail, which is covered in grass or other
vegetation, may be counted as both greenspace and an amenity.
E.
Conservation areas within greenspace. A conservation area is any
area that is preserved in its natural state. Conservation areas that
maintain required environmental features such as wetlands shall not
be included as greenspace area.
A.
Review and approval.
(1)
Application and fee. Completed application, picture book, and

(3)
Public hearing. The Zoning and Planning Committee shall hold
a public hearing on the NCD application and notice shall be provided
as required by law for all zoning code amendments.

Committee recommendations. The Zoning and Planning Committee,
after such discussions and such further discussions as may be required
with the developer and input from the public hearings, shall report,
in writing, such proposed project development to the Town Board, together
with its recommendation for either approval or disapproval of the
same. Such report and recommendation of the committee shall be made
to the Town Board no later than four months from the date of the filing
of the application with the Zoning Administrator or designee and receipt
of any required supportive information. A recommendation of approval
by the committee shall in no way be binding on the Town Board. The
Town Board shall either approve or disapprove the proposed NCD within
60 days receipt of the Zoning and Planning Committee recommendation.
(5)
Validity of NCD. A NCD project approved by the Town Board shall
be valid for a period of six months. If a developer does not begin

time frame, the Town of Ledgeview shall exercise the following options:
