The boundaries of said districts are hereby
established as shown on the Zoning Map which, with all explanatory
matter thereon, is hereby adopted and made a part of this chapter.
A copy of said map, indicating the latest amendments, shall be kept
up-to-date in the offices of the Village Clerk and the Building Inspector
for the use and benefit of the public.
In determining the boundaries of districts shown
on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
A.
District boundary lines follow lot lines, streets,
municipal boundaries, rights-of-way, railroad rights-of-way or watercourses
or bodies of water or are parallel or perpendicular thereto, unless
such district boundary lines are fixed by dimensions, as shown on
the Zoning Map.
B.
Where district boundaries are shown approximately
following streets, rights-of-way, railroad rights-of-way or watercourses,
the center lines thereof shall be such boundaries.
C.
Where district boundaries follow the edges of lakes,
ponds, reservoirs or other bodies of water, the mean high water lines
thereof shall be the district boundaries.
D.
Where district boundaries are shown approximately
following municipal boundaries or lot lines, such municipal boundaries
or lot lines shall be the district boundaries.
E.
Where district boundary lines divide a lot, the location
of any such boundary, if not indicated by dimensions, shall be determined
by use of the map scale appearing thereon.
F.
If the district classification of any property is
in question, it shall be deemed to be in the most restrictive adjoining
district.
Where zoning districts are referred to as more restrictive or less restrictive, the designations shall refer to the order in which the districts are named in § 255-7, the first named being the most restrictive.
Where a lot in one ownership of record is divided
by one or more district boundary or municipal lines, the following
shall apply:
Following the effective date of this chapter:
A.
No building shall be erected, moved, structurally
altered, reconstructed or enlarged, nor shall any land or building
be used, designed or arranged to be used for any purpose in any manner
except in compliance with this chapter and all other applicable laws,
together with all rules, requirements and restrictions appurtenant
thereto.
B.
No yard or open space required in connection with
any building or use shall be considered as providing a required yard
or open space for any other building or use on the same or any other
lot.
C.
No lot shall be formed from part of a lot already
occupied by a building or use unless such building or use, 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.
[Amended 1-28-1986 by L.L. No. 1-1986]
D.
Any use not permitted by this chapter shall be deemed to be prohibited. The list of prohibited uses contained in § 255-15 of this chapter shall not be deemed to be an exhaustive list, but has been included for the purposes of clarity and emphasis and to illustrate, by example, some of the uses frequently proposed that are deemed undesirable and incompatible and are thus prohibited. Uses identified by special permit shall be deemed prohibited unless a valid special permit shall be issued by the Village Board therefor. The Village Board shall not issue a special permit for a use that is not permitted in a given zoning district.
[Amended 1-28-1986 by L.L. No. 1-1986]
E.
Preexisting uses identified as special permit uses
in this chapter for which there exists, on the effective date of this
chapter or amendment thereof, a valid certificate of occupancy shall
not be deemed nonconforming unless such uses are nonconforming as
to the bulk or supplemental requirements of this chapter.
F.
No building permit or certificate of occupancy or
certificate of use shall be granted for any use unless the Building
Inspector shall find that the use shall conform to the requirements
set forth in this chapter.
G.
No land or building shall be used in any manner so
as to create any hazard to the public health, peace or comfort or
to hinder the most appropriate use of land in the vicinity by reason
of fire, explosion or radiation; noise or vibration; smoke, dust,
odor or other form of air pollution; heat, cold or dampness; electrical
disturbances; glare; liquid or solid refuse or waste production; any
condition conducive to the breeding of rodents or insects; or any
other dangerous, noxious, injurious or objectionable condition, substance
or element.
H.
No building permit shall be issued for a structure
to be located on two or more tax lots until they have been combined
into a single tax lot.
