A. 
The Village Board may, from time to time on its own motion, amend, supplement, repeal or change the regulations and district boundaries established by this chapter.
B. 
Whenever the owners of 50% or more of the frontage in any district or part thereof shall present a petition, duly signed and acknowledged, to the Village Board, requesting an amendment, supplement or change of the regulations prescribed for such district or part thereof, it shall be the duty of the Village Board to vote upon said petition within 45 days after the filing of the same by the petitioners with the Village Clerk.
C. 
The Planning Board may, by resolution, propose an amendment, supplement or change of the regulations to the Village Board. Within 30 days from the time such resolution is filed with the Village Clerk, it shall be the duty of the Board to vote on such proposed amendment.
D. 
Amendment of the Zoning Ordinance may be subject to the State Environmental Quality Review process (SEQR). Village Board should identify the types of action the zone change is according to SEQR regulations. Depending on the size of the zone change and several other factors, it may be Type 1 or an unlisted action. To make a decision, the Board should consult 6 NYCRR 617. If it is determined that an environmental impact statement will be prepared for the proposal in question, all time frames and deadlines are delayed until a draft environmental impact statement has been filed. An application is not complete, and therefore the review clock does not start, until a determination of no significance has been made or until a draft environmental impact statement is completed.[1]

Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code; see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I.
A. 
All proposed amendments, supplements or changes originating by petition or by motion of the Village Board shall be referred to the Planning Board for a report and recommendations thereon. The Planning Board shall submit its report within 21 days after receiving such referral. Failure of the Planning Board to report within the required time shall be deemed to be approval of the proposed amendment.
B. 
Whenever any zoning regulation or any amendment, including any application for a special use or variance, would change the district classification of or a regulation applying to real property in an area as described in §§ 239-l and 239-m of the General Municipal Law, said application or zoning regulation or amendment shall be referred to the Oneida County Planning Department, which Department shall report its recommendations to the Village Board. Failure of the County Planning Department to report within 30 days may be construed to be approval by the Department.
(1) 
The concurring vote of a majority plus one of the Village Board of Trustees shall be necessary to override the County Planning Department recommendations of approval with modifications or disapproval.
(2) 
Within seven days after final action by the Village Board on the recommendations, modifications or disapproval of a referred matter, the Board shall file a report of the final action with the County Planning Department. Any defect in complying with this referral procedure will render the Village Board powerless to take further action under the adoption procedure.
A. 
Before any amendment, supplement or change in the regulations or district boundaries, there shall be a public notice and hearing thereon as provided by law. Such hearing may be held by the Village Board, by a committee of the Board or by the Planning Board on request of the Village Board. In addition to the public notice of a hearing, notice shall be given in writing either personally or by mail to all property owners of the land included in such proposed change and the land immediately adjacent extending 100 feet therefrom and the land directly opposite thereto extending 100 feet from the street frontage of such opposite land, as said property owners and addresses appear on the latest completed assessment roll of the village.
B. 
Where more than 12 properties are included in such change and the Village Board, by resolution, determines that notice in writing to each property owner is not feasible, the notice of hearing shall be published in the official paper once a week for three successive weeks and shall be posted in 12 public places in the village, of which six shall be in the area affected.
After the public hearing and referral to and report by the Planning Board, a majority vote of the members of the Village Board shall be required to amend the Zoning Chapter, except as described in § 200-54, Protest petitions.
If a protest against a proposed amendment, supplement or change is presented to the Village Board, duly signed and acknowledged by the owners of 20% or more of the area of the land included in such proposed change or by the owners of 20% or more of the land immediately adjacent extending 100 feet therefrom or by the owners of 20% or more of the land directly opposite thereto extending 100 feet from the street frontage of such opposite land, such amendment shall not be passed except by the favorable vote of three-fourths (3/4) of the Village Board.
From time to time, at intervals of not more than three years, the Planning Board shall reexamine the provisions of this chapter and the location of district boundary lines and shall submit a report to the Village Board recommending such changes or amendments, if any, as may be desirable in the interest of public safety, health, convenience, necessity or the general welfare.
