The following regulations shall apply in I Industrial Districts:
A. Intent.
(1) The intent of this section is to permit light industrial and service
industries in a parklike atmosphere. The Victor Industrial District
is unique in that it is located in close proximity to the residential
districts. Therefore, the permitted uses in the Industrial District
are limited to those uses which will be compatible with the physical
and natural environment of the surrounding neighborhood and Village.
The Industrial District will be limited to land uses which are retail
commercial, service related, professional offices or are light industrial
or light manufacturing businesses.
(2) The policy of the Village of Victor is to attract and encourage new
businesses and industries which will enhance the lives of the residents
by providing new services, creating new jobs and broadening the tax
base in the Village. To do this in a manner acceptable to residents,
new commercial and light industrial establishments must not be intrusive
in a neighborhood and, instead, must reflect existing uses to the
greatest degree possible. This district specifically excludes residences
because the mixture of residential and industrial properties is contrary
to the purpose of industrial zoning and adds problems to both the
industries and residences located in such a district.
B. Permitted uses:
(1) Research and development facilities.
(2) Service businesses which serve the needs of the Village of Victor,
with the exception of retail cannabis dispensaries.
[Amended 10-4-2021 by L.L. No. 3-2021]
(3) Professional office buildings.
(6) Commercial and noncommercial recreational facilities.
C. Special use permit. The following uses may be allowed with a special
use permit issued by the Planning Board:
(1) Adult entertainment use in accordance with §
170-34B(3) of this chapter.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
D. Building height limit. No building shall be erected to a height in
excess of 35 feet.
E. Required lot area. Lot area shall not be less than 20,000 square
feet, and lot width shall not be less than 100 feet.
F. Percentage of building coverage. All buildings, including attached
and accessory use buildings on the lot, shall not cover more than
50% of the area of the lot.
G. Yards required. Each lot shall have a front, side and rear yard not
less than the following dimensions:
(1) Front yard depth: 30 feet.
(2) Each side yard width: 20 feet.
(3) Rear yard depth: 30 feet.
H. Boundary lines. No building or part thereof shall be erected nearer
than 100 feet to any residential district boundary or lot line or
street line which constitutes a residential boundary.
I. Parking areas.
(1) Parking area will be provided sufficient to accommodate the traffic
generated, plus off-street loading and unloading. At no time will
parking be permitted off the premises and onto adjacent streets or
access roads.
(2) Parking will be considered to be sufficient only when the plans allow
parking to accommodate all employees who are expected to be present
during hours of maximum operation as well as for the number of customers
or clients who can be expected during the hours of maximum operation.
(3) Parking areas should be located in such a way that they are shielded
from view from adjacent streets and residential property with screening
or buffering or fencing, as approved by the Planning Board in the
site plan review process.
(4) Access to parking areas will be located as far as possible from street
intersections, and such access will be so located as to provide the
minimum amount of disruption of traffic flow on Village streets.
J. Signs. All signs erected or posted in this Industrial District must conform to Chapter
130, Signs, of the Code of the Village of Victor.
K. Storage. Storage of all materials will be confined to enclosed buildings. No open storage will be permitted for any period longer than one day. Storage must also comply with the requirements and restrictions in §
170-40 of this chapter.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
L. Landscaping. All yards and other land not used for roads or parking
areas will be landscaped within six months after the certificate of
occupancy is granted. Landscaping includes, but is not limited to
the use of grass and other ground cover, trees and shrubs and ornamental
gardens or fountains. All estimated landscaping costs shall be ensured
by the requirement of an escrow account or a bond, in a form acceptable
to the Village, prior to the issuance of a building permit.
M. Access and ingress. Because the Industrial District is located near
to residential areas which have pedestrian and vehicular traffic,
any business located in the Industrial District must be serviced by
an access road which has no more than two points of access to a public
roadway. Construction and maintenance of this access road will be
the responsibility of the subdividers, developers or owners of such
plats and lands in the Industrial District.
N. Screening and buffering. Parking areas or other unsightly aspects
shall be screened from view of the street right-of-way and adjacent
properties. Forms of landscaping such as trees, shrubs and small earthen
berms will be used for screening and will be so located as to help
contain any necessary noise or glare to the premises of the property
of the business or industry.
O. Fences. Fences which partially or fully enclose the property will
be required if they are needed for safeguarding the property or if
they form an integral and necessary part of the screening and buffering
of the property. Possible materials to be used in constructing the
fences include wood, brick, stone or a combination of these materials
or their like. Fences must be constructed in a manner which is in
accord with the architectural design of the business and which blend
well with adjoining property. The design of a fence is subject to
review by the Planning Board during site plan review.
P. Illumination. Any glare resulting from illumination or lighting of
parking areas or buildings shall not be evident beyond the property
line.
