A. 
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. 
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. 
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.
