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)

or buffering or fencing, as approved by the Planning Board in the

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

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.

Screening and buffering. Parking areas or other unsightly aspects
shall be screened from view of the street right-of-way and adjacent

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.
