[Amended 3-15-2021 by L.L. No. 2-2021]
The table (see Attachment 2, Village of Perry Use Table[1]) identifies those uses permitted, including conditional uses, by zoning district. All business and industrial uses, developments, and new construction, except for minor changes in use, require site plan approval by the Planning Board, unless otherwise permitted. The Planning Board shall have the authority, via a vote, to make a determination of similar use based on the general use categories and specific uses permitted, for uses not specifically noted in the Use Table. In doing so, the Planning Board shall not only determine if the use is similar, but if the use meets the intent of the district and regulations.

A. 
Intent. The intent of the Downtown Development District (DDD) is to create a flexible zoning mechanism that will encourage and enable the Downtown Area to develop in a responsible yet efficient manner. The DDD is an overlay zone designed to reinforce and further the compact, walkable, and traditional neighborhood design in the Downtown. The aim of the DDD Overlay Zone is to create economic investment through flexible bulk and area requirements and high standards of design.

Uses permitted in the underlying zone are still permitted, but only applications and uses for the provisions of the DDD can take advantage of the flexible development standards.
C. 
General requirements.

The parking study shall analyze existing public parking (on- and off-street) within the DDD Zone and demonstrate that adequate parking exists for the proposed use. Such analysis shall include all uses being proposed and the time of day (peak and off-peak) that each use will utilize parking. The aim of the study shall be to demonstrate that sufficient off-site parking exists within a five-hundred-foot radius of the proposed development and/or provide plan for off-site parking within two blocks to accommodate the proposed development.
