A. 
The restrictions and controls intended to regulate development in each district are set forth in the attached Schedule I,[1] which is supplemented by other sections of this chapter.
B. 
This chapter shall not interfere with or abrogate or annul any easement, covenant or other agreement between parties; provided, however, that when this chapter imposes a greater restriction on the use of buildings or land or on the height of buildings or requires larger open spaces or imposes any higher standards than are imposed or required by any other statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or by any easement, covenant or agreement, the provisions of this chapter shall control. Where the requirements of this chapter differ from the requirements of another statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation, the more-restrictive shall govern.
C. 
Any principal land use not specifically listed for a zoning district shall be deemed to be a prohibited use for that zoning district.
Except as hereinafter otherwise provided:
A. 
No building shall be erected and no existing building shall be moved, altered, added to or enlarged, nor shall any land or building be designed, used or intended to be used, for any purpose or in any manner other than as specified among the uses hereinafter listed as permitted in the district in which such building or land is located.
B. 
No building shall be erected, reconstructed or structurally altered to exceed in height the limit hereinafter designated for the district in which such building is located.
C. 
No building shall be erected, and no existing building shall be altered, enlarged or rebuilt, nor shall any open space surrounding any building be encroached upon or reduced in any manner, except in conformity with the yard, lot area, and building location regulations hereinafter designated for the district in which such building or open space is located.
D. 
No yard or other open space provided about any building for the purpose of complying with the provisions of this chapter shall be considered as providing a yard or open space for any other building, and no yard or other open space on one lot shall be considered as providing a yard or open space for a building on any other lot.
A. 
The following uses are specifically prohibited in the Town:
(1) 
Natural gas exploration or extraction.
(2) 
Petroleum exploration or extraction.
(3) 
Use or disposal of natural gas extraction wastes.
(4) 
Use or disposal of oil extraction wastes.
(5) 
Mineral extraction not in existence as of the effective date of this chapter. Mineral extraction with a valid mining permit shall be an existing nonconforming use subject to the terms of the existing mining permit.
B. 
Nothing in this section should be construed as implying that uses not specifically listed as a permitted use or special use in a zoning district are permitted in any way. Pursuant to § 199-7C of this Code, uses not specifically listed as a permitted use or special use in a zoning district shall be deemed to be a prohibited use in that zoning district.
A. 
Purpose. In order to afford opportunities for large-scale economic development in areas of the Town with close access to the regional highway network, the Town Board has established two Economic Zone Overlay Districts. It is the purpose of the Interchange Economic Zone Overlay to provide opportunities for the location of commercial and industrial uses in the vicinity of the Town's interchanges with Route 17 (future Interstate 86) that would generate significant vehicular or truck traffic. It is the purpose of the Route 209 Economic Zone Overlay to provide opportunities for employers that may generate high volumes of commuter traffic but not truck traffic to locate within areas along Route 209 between Wurtsboro Airport and the Village of Wurtsboro. In all cases, it is the intent of these regulations to allow a wide range of uses appropriate to these areas while providing appropriate mitigation of impacts to visual, ecological and groundwater resources.
B. 
Overlay districts. The requirements of this district will serve as an alternative to Schedule I of the underlying zoning district and provide additional requirements for certain special use permits authorized herein. The location of a parcel within an Economic Zone Overlay shall not be construed to limit the development of the parcel pursuant to Schedule I appropriate to the underlying zoning.
C. 
Bulk requirements. The following bulk requirements shall apply to development of lots within the Economic Zone Overlay Districts:
(1) 
Minimum lot area: 25 net acres after application of relevant deductions pursuant to § 199-35.
(2) 
Minimum width: 300 feet.
(3) 
Minimum depth: 400 feet.
(4) 
Minimum front and rear yards: 100 feet.
(5) 
Minimum side yard: 100 feet (one) and 200 feet (total).
(6) 
Maximum development coverage: 60%.
(7) 
Maximum height: 2.5 stories and 30 feet.
D. 
Interchange Economic Zone additional special uses permitted. The following uses shall be permitted by special use permit in the Interchange Economic Zone, subject to the requirements of § 199-25 and any related standards of § 199-26:
(1) 
Truck stops/travel centers.
(2) 
Research, experimental and testing laboratories.
(3) 
Office and research business parks.
(4) 
Hospitals and medical clinics.
(5) 
Trucking terminals and distribution centers, including limited retail sales accessory thereto.
(6) 
Light industrial use, including manufacturing, assembling, converting, packaging, altering, finishing, cleaning or other processing of materials involving only the use of oil, gas, electricity, or equivalent fuel, except for chemical manufacturing.
(7) 
Wholesaling, storing and warehousing, including lumberyards, building contractor and building supply and farm supply yards.
E. 
Route 209 Economic Zone additional special uses permitted. The following uses shall be permitted by special use permit in the Route 209 Economic Zone, subject to the requirements of § 199-25 and any related standards of § 199-26:
(1) 
Research, experimental and testing laboratories.
(2) 
Agribusiness and high-tech agriculture.
(3) 
Data centers.
(4) 
Office and research business parks not involving the significant (averaging more than one vehicle over 10,000 pounds' gross vehicle weight per day per 10,000 square feet of gross floor area) generation of truck traffic over public roads.
F. 
Additional standards imposed. In addition to any other requirements, the following standards shall be imposed as special use permit conditions on any special use authorized within an Economic Zone Overlay District:
(1) 
The uses shall be located in a manner and designed to incorporate landscaping, elevations changes, and architectural colors and materials so as to not result in a significant adverse impact to significant public viewpoints, including state and county roads, public parks, and public trails, including the Long Path and D&H Canal Towpath. In determining compliance with this criterion, the Planning Board may require the submission of cross-sections, visual simulations, viewshed analyses, balloon tests, and such other supporting information as necessary to conclude that significant adverse visual impacts will not occur. The Planning Board may retain qualified professionals to peer review any of the foregoing materials submitted by applicants in support of development applications.
(2) 
The uses shall incorporate such stormwater management facilities as are necessary to mitigate any potential impact to ecological or groundwater impacts to receiving waters and aquifers. In determining compliance with this criterion, the Planning Board shall rely on the advice of the Planning Board Engineer. Where the Planning Board determines that sensitive groundwater or ecological resources may be impacted by the proposal, the Planning Board may retain qualified professionals, including, but not limited to, hydrologists and hydrogeologists, to determine that impacts are not likely to occur.
(3) 
Applicants may request presubmission conferences with the Planning Board for the purpose of identifying important groundwater and ecological resources and significant public viewpoints as well as what types of analyses and conceptual mitigations are likely to be required to satisfy the requirements of this subsection.
G. 
SEQR. A development application under the provisions of the Economic Zone Overlay provisions shall be considered a Type 1 action pursuant to 6 NYCRR 617 (SEQRA).
