[Added 7-25-2005 by L.L. No. 6-2005[1]]
[1]
Editor's Note: This local law superseded former
Art. XI, Industrial A District, as amended.
A.
Purposes.
(1)
The inclusion of Economic Development District
B (hereinafter described as "ED-B District") as part of the comprehensive
plan of land use embodied in this chapter is in accord with the following
developmental policy for the Village of Port Washington North; taking
into account considerations of:
(a)
The conservation of existing and potential property
values in the Village.
(b)
The character of existing development in the
Village.
(c)
The physical characteristics of the terrain
of the Village and the suitability of the land of the Village for
various uses.
(d)
The physical situation of the Village and the
functional relationships of the uses of the land therein to the existing
and prospective development of the intercommunity area consisting
of the Port Washington - Manhasset areas and adjoining areas in Nassau
County, New York.
(e)
In November, after more than a year of intense
study, the Village's Port Washington North Moratorium Commission issued
its Land Use Report. The report indicated the Commission's concern
with the numerous uses that were permitted within the Industrial Zone
and the resulting possibility of pending undesirable businesses that
might come into the Village's Industrial District. Accordingly, the
Commission expressed its feeling that immediate measures be taken
to insure the present quality of life for the Village residents and
the overall Port Washington community by removing the Industrial District
from the Village and replacing it with a zone which, in substance,
follows the ED-A District, which the Commission believed would achieve
the desired goals of the Village by continuing to attract businesses,
while protecting the Village against those businesses that would potentially
affect the quality of life of the Village.
(2)
It is determined that the future use and development
of the property within the Village that had been zoned as Industrial
A, if permitted to be developed as provided in that zone, would be
contrary to the comprehensive plan of the Village as it has actually
developed. In reviewing the existing use and development of that land,
in fact, such existing uses actually fall substantially within those
that will be permitted within the ED-B District of the Village.
B.
Uses permitted. A building may be erected, altered,
or used, and a lot or premises may be used, for any of the purposes
set forth in this section and for no other:
(1)

Scientific and/or research laboratories, limited
to areas of research, the performance of which will have no potential
detrimental impact upon the health or the environment of the Village
and its residents;
(3)
Assembly, fabrication, and finishing of articles
of small compass and high value, such as cameras, watches, precision
instruments, electronic instruments, business machines, and the like;
(4)
Storage facilities, provided there shall be
no outside storage of any nature and no warehousing or storage of
building materials or other heavy products;
(5)
Telephone exchanges and other similar public
utility facilities;
(6)
Facilities for organizations which provide fire
protection and ambulance services to the Village and the residents;
(7)
Establishments for printing, book binding, lithographing,
and similar reproduction processes;

location, and use of all buildings, facilities, and open areas, including
the provisions to be made for screening, traffic flow, fencing, parking,

building and provide adequate and sufficient setbacks, screening,
fencing, off-street parking, safe traffic flow, and adequate and sufficient
safeguards to insure, protect, and secure the use and enjoyment of
neighboring properties and the general area in which the subject premises
are located, without unreasonable interference.
(c)
The Board of Trustees, in approving said application,
may impose such additional regulations and restrictions as it feels
proper in the particular circumstances to assure the safeguards hereinabove
described, and, in any event, shall require and provide that the applicant
meets all of the building, site, area, yard, screening, parking and
other standards set forth in this article.
(d)
Such conditions and requirements shall in all
cases include limitations of the number of persons who may safely
occupy the premises and any part or parts thereof at one time, ways
and means of reducing noise and disturbance to the neighborhood, including
limitations of hours and days during which social or nonreligious

procedures and implements, equipment and appliances as shall be necessary
or appropriate to safeguard against fire, health and safety hazards
and panic and shall prescribe the height, location and type of fencing.

including, but not limited to, Village halls, Village clubs, the Village
Department of Public Works, and Village parks.

Smoke Chart number by the time of emission in minutes. For example,
the emission of Ringelmann Smoke Chart Number 1 for one minute equals
one smoke unit.
(2)
Method of measurement of smoke. For the purpose
of grading the density of the smoke, the Ringelmann Smoke Chart shall
be used for the purpose of determining the total smoke units emitted;
a reading shall be taken every minute for an hour or if less than
an hour, until the total smoke units emitted exceed the number allowed
by this chapter. Each reading shall be multiplied by the number of
minutes during which it was observed and the product was added.
(3)
Maximum permitted emission of smoke. In the
ED-B District there shall be no measurable emission of smoke, gas
or other atmospheric pollutant. The emission of one smoke unit per
hour and smoke with a discernible density of Number 1 on the Ringelmann

have a low ignition temperature, a high rate of burning or create
great heat, and no materials producing flammable or explosive gases
or vapors under ordinary temperature conditions shall be permitted
in the ED-B District.
L.
Performance standards regulating humidity, heat or
light. No activity producing humidity in the form of steam or moist

for a building or use permit or a certificate of occupancy for any
use in the ED-B District, the Planning Board or the Building Inspector
may require the applicant, at its own expense, to provide the Planning
Board with such evidence as it or he may deem necessary to determine
whether or not the proposed use will conform to the development policy
of the Village and the performance standards set forth above, and
in connection therewith, the Planning Board or the Building Inspector
may obtain expert advice at the expense of the applicant, and payment
in advance of the amount of such expense shall be a condition of further
consideration of the application. Where appropriate, the Planning
Board may require the installation, maintenance, and operation by
the applicant at the applicant's expense of continuous recording instruments

codes, regulations, requirements, or ordinances of the Village or
any other properly constituted jurisdictional authority.
G.
No certificate of occupancy shall be issued by the
Building Inspector for any use, construction or installation in the
scope of this article unless there shall have been filed with the
Building Inspector, along with the application for a certificate of
occupancy, a certified copy of the Planning Board resolution approving
the use, general building plans, and site plan.
H.

persons having business in the building; such visitors' parking areas,
if located in a front or side yard area, shall be limited to one space
per 3,000 square feet of building area with a maximum allowable number
of 20 spaces. In no case shall storage, servicing, dismantling, or
repairing of vehicles be permitted in any parking area.

Shall it be determined in the findings of the Building
Inspector that the use and occupancy related to any plot or lot in
this district shall deviate from the use and occupancy for which approval
was initially given, the Building Inspector shall give notice in writing
to the owner of the property in question. Such notice shall set forth
the nature and extent of such deviations. Such notice shall be sent
to the owner of the property by registered mail. If the objectionable
deviations shall not be remedied by the owner within 30 days of such
notice, unless extended by the Board of Trustees, the certificate
of use and occupancy for the premises shall become void, without further
or additional notice.
The provisions herein described shall be enforceable
by the Village, and failure of the Village to enforce any or all said
regulations or provisions shall in no event be deemed a waiver of
the right to do so thereafter.
