For the purpose of promoting the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the Village of Weedsport, the Village is hereby divided into the following zoning districts:
A. 
Residential Zoning District (R) - The purpose of the Residential Zoning District is to preserve the character and scale of the many residential neighborhoods in the Village. The intent is to retain single-family homes as the primary land use within the zoning district, while allowing small-scale two-family and multifamily housing at appropriate sites.
B. 
Commercial Zoning District (C) - The purpose of the Commercial Zoning District is to promote and expand commercial development in the center of the Village where the primary land use is commercial. The intent is to permit appropriate commercial development and allow residential uses primarily in the upper stories or rear of buildings when appropriate.
C. 
Historic Commercial Zoning District (HC) - The purpose of the Historic Commercial Zoning District is to revitalize the historic center of Weedsport by developing a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly central business district. The intent is to implement design guidelines within the historic core of the Village and permit commercial uses that are appropriate for the historic Village center, with the addition of residential uses. Residential uses are encouraged to be located on upper stories or on the rear of the first floor in order to encourage buildings in this district to maintain commercial storefronts.
D. 
Neighborhood Commercial Zoning District (NC) - The purpose of the Neighborhood Commercial Zoning District is to promote mixed-use commercial and single-family residential development to serve as a buffer between the Historic Commercial and Commercial Zoning Districts and the Residential Zoning District. The intent is to permit residential and small-scale commercial uses, primarily in existing residential buildings, in order to maintain a neighborhood residential feel.
E. 
Industrial Zoning District (I) - The purpose of the Industrial Zoning District is to allow for industrial development in an area of the Village that is not primarily adjacent to residential neighborhoods and where the primary land use is industrial and vacant land. The intent is to permit industrial and related land uses primarily through special use permits, in order to mitigate any negative external impacts that may occur due to industrial activities.
Said districts are bounded as shown on a map titled "Zoning Map of the Village of Weedsport" which accompanies and which, with all explanatory matter thereon, is hereby made a part of this chapter. (See Appendix I.[1])
