Potsdam Municipal Airport - Master Plan – Phase 1 Report
EXISTING LAND USE AND ZONING
Land use directly in the vicinity of the Airport is described as public use. The
majority of the land surrounding the Airport is vacant; however there are some areas
of development within the vicinity. Areas along New York State (NYS) 11B are
mainly residential use, along with some areas of manufacturing and production. Areas
to the northwest of the airport property along Hatch Road are also residential. There
is an area of commercial use that is near the intersection of Hatch Road and NYS
11B.
Figure 2-4 presents the zoning in the areas near the Airport. As depicted on these
figures, zoning in the environs of the Airport include areas of residential development
and coordinated development. Coordinated development, as defined by the code of
the Town of Potsdam, is “a tract of land in single ownership or controlled by an
individual, partnership, cooperative or corporation designed for and capable of being
used for one or more residential, commercial, industrial or recreational uses which
have certain facilities in common and which have been designed as an integrated
unit.” It begins at the limits of the Village of Potsdam and expands north easterly
along Hatch Road up to Berry Patch Road. It extends south easterly almost to Heath
Road and then south just past New York State 11B (Elm Street). Areas surrounding
the coordinated development zone are zoned R-1 residential and R-2 residential.
