[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General

Zoning districts are bounded and defined as
shown on a map entitled "Zoning Map, Village of Waterloo, New York,"
which map, and all amendments thereto, is adopted as part of this
chapter and which, with all explanatory matter and dimensions thereon,
is hereby made a part of this chapter and included herein.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
The original of the Zoning Map, Village of Waterloo,
New York, shall be certified by the Village Board and Village Clerk-Treasurer,
and all changes and amendments to said map shall be promptly made
by the Board and Village Clerk-Treasurer as directed by the Village
Board. The original of such Zoning Map, and all amendments thereto,

The following principles are intended to apply
to the location of zoning district boundaries:
A. Boundary lines are intended to follow lot lines or
the center lines of streets, highways, alleys, railroads, watercourses
or easements, or such lines as they may be extended, or to be parallel
or perpendicular thereto, unless such boundary lines are otherwise
fixed by dimensions, as shown on the Zoning Map.
B. Where a boundary is indicated as approximately following
the edge of a river, pond or similar public water body, the mean high-water
line thereof shall be construed to be such boundary.
C. Where a boundary is indicated as approximately following
a lot line or extension thereof, such lot line or extension shall
be construed to be such boundary.
D. Questions or disagreements concerning the exact location
of a district boundary line shall be resolved by the Village of Waterloo
Zoning Board of Appeals.
[Amended 7-12-1999 by L.L. No. 3-1999]
Any land added to the incorporation area of
the Village of Waterloo by annexation shall be automatically classified
in the R1 Residential District for zoning purposes pending application
for and adoption of a permanent zoning district designation.
The following types of zoning districts are
hereby created and established in the Village of Waterloo for the
intent and purpose described below:
A. The districts shall be classified in accordance to
their density and intensity uses. The hierarchical classification
for uses is as follows:
R1
|
Lowest intensity/density
|
R2
|
|
R3
|
|
R4
|
|
SD
|
|
GB
|
|
CB
|
|
LI
|
|
HI
|
Highest intensity/density
|
B. R1 Residential District. The intent of the R1 Residential
District is to designate areas where low-density, one-unit dwellings
constitute the existing and desired future developmental character
and where substantial restrictions on the use of land and the density
of development are necessary to preserve present character and protect
the economic value of existing and future investment. Development
which occurs in the R1 Residential District should be comparable with
existing population density and the environmental and architectural
character of the surrounding area.
C. R2 Residential District. The intent of the R2 Residential
District is for the provision of a residential district encompassing
primarily one-unit dwellings with a small (secondary) portion of two-unit
dwelling structures. The R2 District has certain restrictions on the
intensity and land use characteristics to ensure the desired future
development of the area and to adequately prevent overcrowding and
traffic congestion.
D. R3 Residential District. The intent of the R3 Residential
District is to provide a variety of dwelling types, including multiple-unit
dwellings and townhouses, and a low to moderate population density.
The district's intent is to preserve the existing neighborhood character
of one-unit dwellings and to protect the economic value of built-up
areas. Restrictions on the conversion of existing homes into multiple-unit
dwellings are in the best interest of the district and the community.
E. R4 Residential District. The intent of the R4 Residential
District is to designate areas where a broad range of dwelling unit
types is presently available and is desired as the future developmental
character. Increased population density will provide for the maximum
utilization of the land. The R4 District will allow for a limited
mixture of commercial activity.
F. SD Service District. The SD District provides neighborhood
convenient services mixed with or adjacent to residential areas.
G. GB General Business District. The General Business
District is an area of high concentrations or strips of intense commercial
activity. The district is found along the major traffic routes within
the Village.
H. CB Central Business District. The Village's core has
been identified as the CB District. The district provides for intense
service and commercial land uses in a dense area. The CB District
also serves as a cultural and historical point for the community.
The land use and density of the CB District encourages pedestrian-related
activities.
I. LI Light Industrial District. The intent of the Light
Industrial District is to retain and attract industry within the Village
that does not consist of intense industrial activity. The LI District
encourages clean or soft industries which will not disrupt the adjacent
areas within the Village.
J. HI Heavy Industrial District. The Heavy Industrial
District is provided to accommodate intensive manufacturing and industry.
The HI District may accommodate additional truck traffic. Performance
standards and criteria are required to provide attractive and compatible
uses with areas surrounding the district.
