[Amended 5-16-1996 by L.L. No. 3-1996]
The boundaries of said districts are hereby
established as shown on the "Zoning Map, Village of Greenport," dated
October 28, 1971, with all explanatory matter thereon, which is hereby
adopted and made a part of this chapter. A copy of said map, indicating
the latest amendments, shall be kept up-to-date in the office of the
Building Inspector for the use and benefit of the public.
In determining the boundaries of districts shown
on the map, the following shall apply:
A.
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately
following the center lines of streets, highways, waterways or railroad
rights-of-way or such lines extended, such center lines shall be construed
to be such boundaries.
B.
Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately
following the property lines of parks or other publicly owned lands,
such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
C.
Unless otherwise shown, all district boundaries running
parallel to streets shall be construed to be 100 feet back from the
rights-of-way of said streets.
D.
In all cases where a district boundary divides a lot
in one ownership and more than 50% of the area of such lot lies in
the less restricted district, the regulations prescribed by this chapter
for the less restricted district shall apply to such portion of the
more restricted portion of said lot as lies within 30 feet of such
district boundary. For purposes of this section, the more restricted
district shall be deemed that district subject to regulations which
prohibit the use intended to be made of said lot or which require
higher standards with respect to coverage, yards, screening, landscaping
and similar requirements.
E.
In all cases where a district boundary line is located
not farther than 15 feet away from a lot line of record, such boundary
line shall be construed to coincide with such lot line.
F.
In all cases where a lot abuts Greenport Harbor, the
zoning district boundary line shall be deemed to coincide with the
incorporation limits of the Village, and in any case involving a body
of water wholly within the incorporated limits of the Village, the
boundary line shall run to the midpoint of said body of water.
G.
In all other cases where dimensions are not shown
on the map, the location of boundaries shown on the map shall be determined
by the use of the scale appearing thereon.
Following the effective date of this chapter:
A.
No building shall be erected, moved, altered, rebuilt
or enlarged, nor shall any land or building be used, designed or arranged
to be used for any purpose or in any manner except in conformity with
all regulations, requirements and restrictions specified in this chapter
for the district in which such building or land is located.
B.
No yard or open space required in connection with
any building or use shall be considered as providing a required open
space for any other building on the same or any other lot.
C.
No lot shall be formed from part of a lot already
occupied by a building unless such building and all yards and open
spaces connected therewith and the remaining lot comply with all requirements
prescribed by this chapter for the district in which said lot is located.
No building permit shall be issued for the erection of a building
on any new lot thus created unless such building and lot comply with
all the provisions of this chapter.
D.
Nothing contained in this chapter shall require any
change in the plans, construction or designated use of a building
complying with the Zoning Ordinance in force prior to this chapter
if the following is found to exist:
(1)
A building permit shall have been duly issued and
construction shall have been started before the date of first publication
of notice of the public hearing on this chapter.
(2)
The ground story framework, including the second tier
of beams, shall have been completed within six months of the date
of the building permit.
(3)
The entire building shall have been completed in accordance
with such plans as have been filed with the Building Inspector within
one year from the effective date of this chapter.
