The Village Board may, from time to time, on its own motion, amend,

established by this chapter pursuant to law.

permits or variances, would change the district classification of
or a regulation applying to real property in a neighboring municipality
or upon other county or state property as described in §§ 239-l
and 239-m of the General Municipal Law, said zoning regulation or
amendment shall be referred to the Oneida County Department of Planning,
which shall report its recommendations to the Village Board. Failure
of the County Department of Planning to report within 30 days may
be construed to be approval by the Department.

Before any amendment, supplement or change in the regulations

After the public hearing and referral to and report by the Planning

required to amend this chapter.

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 become
effective except by the favorable vote of at least four members of
the Village Board.
From time to time at intervals of not more than three years,
the Zoning 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 welfare.
In the instance of any property annexed to the Village, such
property in its entirety shall automatically, upon its annexation,
be classified an R-1 Residential District, which designation shall
continue until such time as the Village Board may amend this chapter
to otherwise designate all or part of such area.
