[Amended 4-12-1999 by L.L. No. 1-1999; 4-12-2004 by L.L. No. 1-2004; 8-9-2021 by L.L. No. 4-2021]
The Village of Pulaski is hereby divided into the following zoning districts:
Residential R-1
Residential R-2
Residential R-3
Business B-1
Business B-2
Industrial I
The zoning districts are shown, defined and bounded on the Zoning Map accompanying this chapter, as well as described by Article VI[1]. The Zoning Map is made a part of this chapter and shall be on file in the office of the Village Clerk-Treasurer, and any modifications due to rezoning shall be noted on said map by the Village Clerk-Treasurer or Zoning Enforcement Officer.
[1]
Editor's Note: Original Article VI of this ordinance, which contained narrative boundary descriptions for the Village zoning districts, was removed from the ordinance. Said boundary descriptions and the Village Zoning Map are on file in the Village Clerk-Treasurer's office and available for review during regular office hours. The map is also included as an attachment to this chapter.
A. 
Questions concerned with the exact location of district boundary lines as shown on the Zoning Map shall be resolved by the Board of Appeals.
B. 
Where a district boundary line divides a lot of record at the time such line is adopted, the regulations for the less restricted part of such lot shall extend not more than 50 feet into the more restricted part, provided the lot has frontage on a street in the less restricted district.
A. 
Minimum building size.
(1) 
For all one-story single-family dwellings, the minimum floor area used for living purposes shall be no less than 700 square feet.
(2) 
For two-family dwellings, the minimum floor area used for living purposes shall not be less than 600 square feet for each family unit.
(3) 
For all two-story single-family dwellings, the total floor area used for living purposes shall be not less than 1,000 square feet.
B. 
Private garages, ground-mounted solar systems and other outbuildings.
(1) 
No garage or other outbuilding shall be placed nearer to a side or rear property line than five feet (as measured from the roof dripline), and for each foot the height of such building exceeds 15 feet, the offset from the side and rear property lines shall be increased by one foot.
(2) 
No detached garage, ground-mounted solar panels, or other outbuilding shall be constructed nearer the front property line than the front of the main building as located on the lot or, in the case of a corner lot, nearer to the side street line than a distance equal to 1/2 the width of the lot. The above, however, shall not prevent the construction or use of a common joint garage on lots adjoining at the side or prevent the construction of a garage as a structural part of a dwelling, and a garage so constructed may extend into an interior side yard required under this chapter for a distance not to exceed five feet.
C. 
Sidewalks approved by the Zoning Enforcement Officer will be installed on all lots within the Village before a certificate of occupancy is issued. (Refer to Street and Sidewalk Law, Chapter 122 of this Code.)
