[Amended 3-22-1999 by L.L. No. 1-1999; 12-13-1999 by L.L. No. 3-1999]

in this chapter, the Village of Skaneateles is hereby divided into
the following eight classes of land use control districts:
[Amended 3-22-2004 by L.L. No. 1-2004]
(6) Commercial Mixed-Use C District.
B. Overzones. For the purposes specified in Article
VI of this chapter, the following overlay land use control districts or overzones, are created:

(2) Skaneateles Creek SC-O Overzone.
(3) Skaneateles Lake Watershed SL-O Overzone.
[Added 12-13-2004 by L.L. No. 3-2004]
[Amended 3-22-1999 by L.L. No. 1-1999]
A. Residential A1 District. The purpose of this district
is to define and establish regulations for those portions of the Village
lying south of Genesee Street (U.S. Route 20) where low- to moderate-density
residential development is and should continue to be the predominant
use of land.
B. Residential A2 District. The purpose of this district is to define
and establish regulations for those portions of the Village lying
north of Genesee Street (U.S. Route 20) and to the east and west of
Fuller Street, where low- to moderate-density residential development
is and should continue to be the predominant use of land.
[Amended 1-11-2018 by L.L. No. 1-2018]
C. Residential A3 District. The purpose of this district
is to define and establish regulations for that portion of the Village
lying north of Genesee Street (U.S. Route 20) and west of Fuller Street
where a range of residential development and lodging will be the predominant
use of land.
D. Residential A4 District. The purpose of this district
is to define and establish regulations for part of that area of the
Village lying north of Austin Street and east of Jordan Street annexed
to the Village on October 11, 1999, where low-density residential
and compatible nonresidential uses will be the predominant use of
land.
[Added 9-25-2000 by L.L. No. 5-2000]
E. Residential B District. The purpose of this district
is to define and establish regulations for areas of the Village containing
land adequate for the construction of mixed single-family and multifamily
residential development. The purpose of these regulations is to promote
the orderly development of the Village compatible with its existing
character and attractiveness.
F. Commercial Mixed-Use C District. The purpose of this
district is to allow for the continuation of existing residential
uses and their conversion to those types of commercial uses which
normally require automobile access. Unlike the Downtown D District,
which emphasizes pedestrian accessibility, the C District seeks to
balance automobile and pedestrian convenience.
G. Downtown D District. The purposes of this district are to promote the maintenance, preservation, restoration, and economic use of the existing party wall buildings and other historic structures in the center of the Village and to promote the gradual extension of the Village center in the same pattern, maintaining a pleasant and safe pedestrian environment, preserving structures with historic or architectural significance, and harmoniously integrating residential and nonresidential uses, while minimizing vehicular traffic congestion. The historic structures in the downtown are vital to the siting, scale, and character of the Village and provide a model for the gradual extension of the Village's downtown core up Fennell Street. (See §
225-16 for design guidelines for this district.)
H. Public Lands PL District. The purpose of this district is to provide
for the continuation of public uses and community benefit activities,
including not-for-profit organizations, in those areas in the Village
set aside for parks, playgrounds, public facilities, arenas, swimming
pools and athletic facilities and structures. This district shall
also include Village departments, their related facilities and structures
and other public lands, as well as public school properties and facilities.
On any application for the construction of an improvement or for a
building permit, the density control for such public lands shall be
as determined by the Board of Trustees by resolution following a public
hearing. Uses permitted on such public lands are set forth in the
Permitted Use Chart and as follows:

I. Floodway Fringe FF-O Overzone. The purpose of this
overlay district or overzone is to protect the health, safety and
welfare of the inhabitants of the Village from hazards due to periodic
but infrequent flooding, including protection of persons and property,
the preservation of water quality and the minimizing of expenditures
for relief insurance and flood-control projects. The purpose of these
regulations is to provide additional or overlay regulations to existing
areas, already subject to land use controls, which are subject to
inundation by the one-hundred-year flood. It should be noted that
larger floods may occur on rare occasions and that smaller floods
may have increased heights due to man-made or natural causes, such
as ice jams and bridge openings restricted by debris. These regulations
do not imply that areas outside the boundaries of this district, or
that land uses permitted within this district, will be free from flooding
or flood damages.
J. Skaneateles Creek SC-O Overzone. The purpose of this overzone is to protect the ecological and scenic character and recreational potential of the Skaneateles Creek Corridor. (See §
225-19.)
K. Skaneateles Lake Watershed SL-O Overzone. The purpose of this overzone is to protect the water quality in Skaneateles Lake by controlling land uses that may have detrimental effects on lake water quality. (See §§
225-19.1 and
225-20.)
[Added 12-13-2004 by L.L. No. 3-2004]
[Amended 3-22-1999 by L.L. No. 1-1999; 9-25-2000 by L.L. No. 4-2000; 1-11-2018 by L.L. No. 1-2018; 8-12-2021 by L.L. No. 1-2021]
All land in the Village of Skaneateles shall fall within one
of the established land use control districts as shown on a map titled
"Village of Skaneateles, New York, Zoning Map," dated June 1, 2021,
as amended from time to time by resolution, hereinafter referred to
as the "Zoning Map," said map being filed in the office of the Clerk/Treasurer
of the Village. In addition, such land may fall within the Floodway
Fringe Overzone and/or Skaneateles Creek Overzone as shown on the
Zoning Map. Said Zoning Map and all notations and references shown
thereon are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this chapter.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the
boundaries of any of the aforesaid land use control districts as shown
on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
A. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately
following the Village boundary line, property lines, lot lines, utility
lines, lake shoreline, or the center line or right-of-way line of
streets, highways, railroads, public utility easements or watercourses,
or projections thereof, said boundaries shall be construed as being
coincident with such lines or projections thereof as said lines or
projections are shown on plots of record at the time this chapter
becomes effective.
B. Where district boundaries are so indicated that they
are approximately parallel to the Village boundary line, property
lines, lot lines, utility lines, lake shoreline or the center line
or right-of-way line of streets, highways, railroads, public utility
easements or watercourses, or projections thereof, said boundaries
shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distances
therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map, or as shall be determined
by use of the graphic scale shown on the Zoning Map.
C. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately
following the center line or right-of-way lines of streets, highways,
railroads, public utility easements or watercourses, said boundaries
shall be deemed to be automatically moved to remain coincident with
said center line or right-of-way line if said center line or right-of-way
line is moved a maximum distance of 50 feet.
D. Where a district boundary divides a lot in single
or joint ownership of record at the time such district boundary is
established, the regulations imposed by this chapter on the more restricted
portion of such lot shall be construed as extending into the entire
lot; provided, however, that such extension shall not include any
part of the lot which is more than 50 feet from the boundary of the
more restricted district.
E. In all other cases, where no dimension is specified
on the Zoning Map, the location and length of district boundaries
shown on the Zoning Map shall be determined by the use of the graphic
scale shown on said Zoning Map.
