A.Â
The Comprehensive Plan of the Village of Millerton
recommends the main street of the Village be maintained as the center
of economic activity for the town and the Village and toward that
end recommends that land use and zoning regulations limit the location
of new commercial facilities to that part of the Village which is
as close to the central business district as possible. It urges the
Village to encourage the development of small businesses that are
consistent with the needs of the community and further notes that
the mixture of residential and commercial and public buildings is
one of the contributing factors to the vitality of the Village center.
B.Â
By adopting this legislation, the Village Board seeks
to ensure that new commercial growth is located in close proximity
to the Village center in a way that strengthens the function of Main
Street as the central business artery of the community and it intends,
subject to appropriate regulatory review, to have commercial facilities
located in areas of the Village accessible to Village residents and
compatible with neighboring properties. The enactment of this chapter
will encourage the development of small, tourism-related businesses
and strengthen this vital sector of the Village's economy.
C.Â
The amendment to the uses allowed in this area will
enable a gradual transition from the downtown general business area
without losing the residential and/or architectural character of the
neighborhood. The area's proximity to Main Street, the elementary
school and Village recreational facilities lends itself to heavy pedestrian
traffic, most especially children, which makes it essential that businesses
with a low volume of vehicular traffic be promoted.
The boundaries of these districts are hereby
established on a map entitled "Zoning Map of the Village of Millerton,"
which map accompanies and is hereby declared to be a part of this
chapter.[1]

Editor's Note: The Zoning Map is on file in
the Village offices.
Where a district boundary line, as appearing
on the Zoning Map, divides a lot or land in single ownership as existing
at the time of this enactment, the use authorized on and the district
requirements applying to the less restricted portion of the property
shall be construed as extending into the remaining portion of the
property beyond the district boundary lines for a district not exceeding
35 feet. Otherwise, unless shown to the contrary on the Zoning Map,
the boundary lines of districts are the center lines of streets and
alleys, or such lines extended, railroad right-of-way lines, the center
lines of creeks and waterways and the corporate limits line as it
existed at the time of the enactment of this chapter.
