Design and area requirements shall be as follows:

(1) The proposed development for a planned business area shall be constructed in accordance with an overall plan for the entire area and shall be designed with a single architectural scheme with appropriate common landscaping. The development shall provide initially for the construction of either a minimum of 8,000 square feet of ground floor area or a minimum of four of the permitted uses.

(2) No building or permanent structure other than one permitted freestanding sign shall be erected within 50 feet of any street or property line.

(3) The Holland Planning Board may prescribe more restrictive conditions or any further reasonable conditions deemed appropriate with respect to improving the design quality of the planned business district.

(4) Adequate guaranty in the form of either a bond or escrow agreement shall be given prior to approval of the plan to assure that all parking, entrances, exits, facilities and services are installed as required.

(5) Permits issued pursuant to this section shall expire in one year after date of issuance thereof unless the approved project is completed or unless the Planning Board recommends and the Town Board extends the permit for successive terms not exceeding one year each, subject to such safeguards as it may prescribe in the public interest.

(6) Truck loading and unloading areas shall be provided in sufficient amount to permit the transfer of goods and materials on the premises rather than on a public street or customer off-street parking area on the premises; a landscaping screen of no less than six feet in height shall be required where off-street loading and unloading areas abut residential uses, so that such operations shall be shielded from view from such residences.

(7) Parking areas shall be designed to provide for a convenient flow of circulation within the shopping center; dividing aisles shall be provided with one tree for each 10 vehicle spaces of a type to be approved by the Town Engineer; the parking area shall be illuminated by nonglare lighting standards, focused downward, of a height not to exceed 25 feet.

(8) Where a planned business area abuts a residential lot(s), there shall be a buffer strip of 50 feet at the periphery of the planned business area. The buffer strip shall be perpetually maintained with plant materials to provide a visual screen between the planned business area and the adjoining residential lot(s).
