The restrictions and controls intended to regulate development
in each district are set forth in the attached Schedule of District
Regulations, which is supplemented by other sections of this chapter.
A. Hamlet of Callicoon, DC - Downtown Callicoon Overlay District.
(1) The intent of this §
220-9A is to recognize the unique character of the existing development in the downtown area of the Hamlet of Callicoon, which is situated in the CAL-B-1 District. This area has long served as the central business district of the Hamlet of Callicoon and is largely comprised of buildings constructed prior to 1940. Most buildings have no or only minimal front yards and are set either very close to or directly upon side lot lines. Most of the area is covered with impervious surfaces — buildings, sidewalks, roads, alleys and parking areas. Parking on main street, existing on-lot parking areas, and Town-owned parking lots appears to be adequate to meet current needs and any anticipated needs of future development.
(2) Given this "downtown" character, the Town has identified the need
for special standards governing the erection of new buildings and
the alteration, addition to and enlargement of existing buildings
in the downtown area. The standards are intended to allow the reasonable
expansion of existing businesses and the development of new business
in character with existing development, while concurrently providing
for the public health, safety and welfare.
(3) The special standards in this §
220-9A shall apply to the Downtown Overlay District as designated in Subsection
A(3)(a) of this section. All other requirements of this chapter which are not specifically addressed by this §
220-9A, including, but not limited to, the use provisions of the CAL-B-1 Schedule of Uses, shall continue to apply to the Downtown Overlay District.
(a)
Downtown Callicoon (DC) Overlay District designation. The Hamlet
of Callicoon Downtown (DC) Overlay District is hereby designated and
shall be comprised of the following parcels, and subsequent subdivisions
thereof, as set forth on the Town of Delaware, Sullivan County, New
York, Tax Maps, Section 14, Block 5, Parcels:
