[Amended 2-27-1989 by L.L. No. 3-1989; 8-6-1990 by L.L. No. 13-1990; 8-21-1995 by L.L. No. 4-1995; 6-26-2003 by L.L. No. 12-2003; 5-13-2021 by L.L. No. 2-2021]
The boundaries of said districts are hereby
established as shown on the Zoning Map, Village of Irvington, dated
June 7, 2021, which accompanies and which, with all explanatory matter
thereon, is hereby adopted and made a part of this chapter. Said map,
indicating the latest amendments, shall be kept up-to-date in the
office of the Village Clerk for the use and benefit of the public.
In determining the boundaries of districts shown
on the map, the following rules shall apply:
A. Unless otherwise shown, the district boundaries shall
be construed to coincide with the center lines of streets, alleys,
parkways, waterways and main track or tracks of railroads.
B. Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately
following the property lines of parks or other publicly owned lands,
such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
C. In all cases where a district boundary divides a lot
in one ownership and more than 50% of the area of such lot lies in
the less restricted district, the regulations prescribed by this chapter
for the less restricted district shall apply to such portion of the
more restricted portion of said lot which lies within 30 feet of such
district boundary. For purposes of this section, the "more restricted
district" shall be deemed to be that district which is subject to
regulations which prohibit the particular use intended to be made
of said lot or which regulations require higher standards with respect
to setback, coverage, yards, screening, landscaping and similar requirements.
D. In all cases where a district boundary line is located
not farther than 15 feet away from a lot line of record, such boundary
shall be construed to coincide with such lot line.
E. In all other cases, where dimensions are not shown
on the Zoning Map, the location of boundaries shall be determined
by the use of the scale appearing on such map.
Following the effective date of this chapter:
A. Except as permitted by §
224-89, no building shall be erected, moved, altered, rebuilt or enlarged, nor shall any land or building be used, designed or arranged to be used for any purpose or in any manner except in conformity with all regulations, requirements and/or restrictions specified in this chapter for the district in which such building or land is located.
[Amended 2-27-1989 by L.L. No. 3-1989]
B. No yard or open space required in connection with
any building or use shall be considered as providing the required
open spaces for any other building on the same or any other lot.
C. Except as permitted hereinafter, no lot shall be formed
from part of a lot already occupied by a building unless such building,
all yards and open spaces connected therewith and the remaining lot
comply with all requirements prescribed by this chapter for the district
in which said lot is located. No permit shall be issued for the erection
of a building on any new lot thus created unless such building and
lot comply with all the provisions of this chapter. In cases where
two or more buildings erected prior to the effective date of this
chapter occupy one lot, the division of said lot in such a way as
to establish a separate lot for each of said buildings may be authorized,
upon application, by the Board of Appeals. In considering such application,
the Board shall endeavor to secure minimum possible deviations from
the provisions of this chapter.
D. The minimum lot width or area regulations shall not
apply to any lot with an area and/or width of less than that prescribed
herein provided that:
(1) Such lot was under different ownership from that of
any adjoining land on June 16, 1958, and is still so owned at the
time of application for a building permit.
[Amended 8-6-1990 by L.L. No. 13-1990]
(2) Such lot shall be subject to all other applicable
regulations prescribed by this chapter. In areas where the prevailing
lot width and/or areas are below the requirements of this chapter,
the Board of Appeals may vary such requirements, provided that the
resultant lot width and/or areas shall be in harmony with the pattern
of development prevailing in the area.
(3) Common ownership of any adjoining lots arising subsequent to June 16, 1958, will effectuate a merger, and no such lot shall be entitled to the exception contained in Subsection
D(1).
[Added 8-6-1990 by L.L. No. 13-1990]
E. Nothing contained in this chapter or any subsequent
amendment hereto shall require any change in the plans, construction
or designated use of a building complying with existing law, a permit
for which had been duly issued and the construction of which shall
have been started before May 22, 1958, the date of first publication
of notice of the public hearing on this chapter, or before the date
of first publication of notice of the public hearing on any subsequent
amendment hereto, and the ground-story framework of which, including
the second tier of beams, shall have been completed within six months
of the date of the permit, and which entire building shall have been
completed in accordance with such plans as have been filed, within
nine months from the date of passage of this chapter or any applicable
subsequent amendment thereto.
