No building or structure shall be erected, enlarged, structurally
altered or moved, no new use shall be established, and no building
permit shall be granted pursuant to the Codes of New York State, until
a zoning permit therefor has been issued by the Zoning Enforcement
Officer. No alterations to an existing building shall be made without
a zoning permit, unless such alterations are exempt from a building
permit pursuant to the Codes of New York State. No zoning permit,
nor any certificate of occupancy or compliance pursuant to the Codes
of New York State, shall be issued for any building where said construction,
addition, alteration, moving or use thereof would be in violation
of any of the provisions of this chapter, or where any necessary Village
Planning Board subdivision approval has not been granted.
Preapplication conferences with the Village Planning Board are
encouraged for all applications for zoning permits for all uses that
may require a special use permit or site plan review.
Under the terms of this chapter, the following types of zoning
permits may be issued:
A. Permitted use. A zoning permit for a permitted use may be issued
by the Zoning Enforcement Officer on his own authority.
B. Site plan approval. A zoning permit for a permitted or special permit use that requires site plan review may be issued by the Zoning Enforcement Officer after special permit and/or site plan approval from the Village Planning Board, as more fully described in Article
X.
C. Zoning permit after a request for variance. A zoning permit for a use or structure which requires a variance may be issued by the Zoning Enforcement Officer upon order of the Zoning Board of Appeals, after a public hearing, as more fully described in Article
VIII of this chapter.
When all requirements of this chapter have been met, the Zoning
Enforcement Officer shall issue a zoning permit and return one approved
copy of the map to the applicant no later than 15 days after approval.
The Zoning Enforcement Officer shall file one copy of the approved
permit in the office of the Zoning Enforcement Officer.
The applicant shall notify the Zoning Enforcement Officer when
the structure or use is ready for final inspection. The Zoning Enforcement
Officer shall then make a final inspection and, if satisfied that
the zoning regulations pertaining to the project have been complied
with and that the project has been completed as specified on the approved
application, the Zoning Enforcement Officer shall issue a certificate
of compliance. The issuance of a certificate of occupancy by the Code
Enforcement Officer in accord with the Codes of New York State is
required before a building or structure may be occupied or used. The
certificate of compliance may be issued at the same time and may be
administered using the same form as the certificate of occupancy.
