Senior Citizen Housing

(1) These provisions are enacted to provide for increased housing opportunities and lifestyle options for the Town's senior citizens. It is hereby recognized that the Town has a high percentage of senior citizens, and given present economic factors impacting many seniors, including but not limited to limited or fixed incomes, physical restrictions, and the rapidly accelerating costs of maintaining a single-family residence, the Town Board deems it necessary to provide for such housing within the Town.; (2) It is the specific purpose and intent of the Senior Citizen Zone District (SC-44) to provide the opportunity within the Town of Southampton for the development on a planned basis of density housing on sites located in reasonable proximity to shopping, medical services, and other community facilities and with access to major roads and public transportation. To help assure the achievement of this goal with proper protection for existing neighborhood development, the Senior Citizen Zone (SC-44) District shall be established on a floating zone basis, subject to approval by the Town Board in each case, with exception of small senior citizen housing developments consisting of 20 units or less which may be by special exception use permit pursuant to § 330-138. Senior Citizen Zone Districts shall be in accordance with an approved preliminary development concept plan, as described and defined herein.
