The uses for which conformance to additional standards
is required by this chapter shall be deemed to be permitted uses in
their respective districts, subject to the satisfaction of the requirements
and standards set forth herein in addition to all other requirements
of this chapter.
B.
All uses listed as subject to additional standards
are declared to possess characteristics of such unique and distinct

and they shall conform to the following general requirements as well
as the pertinent specific requirements.
A.
The location and size of the use, the nature and intensity
of the operation involved in or conducted in connection with it, the
size of the site in relation to it, and the location of the site with

be in harmony with the appropriate and orderly development of the
neighborhood in which it is proposed to be located and shall accord
with and promote the purposes set forth in the Village Law.
B.
The operation in connection with any such use shall
not be more objectionable to nearby properties, by reason of noise,
vibration, excessive light, smoke, gas, fumes, odor or other atmospheric
pollutant than would be the operations of any other permitted use
in the same zoning district.

Where no buildings or structures are to be erected,
a certificate of the Building Inspector that an application has been
filed for a use permit and that the existing buildings, structures
and facilities comply with all laws, ordinances and regulations applicable

(5)
No use of the lot or premises or buildings, structures
or facilities thereon, nor the erection, alteration of any building,
structure or facility other than as shown on the site plan and/or
described in the statement approved by the Board of Appeals in the
granting of a permit, shall be made except on application to the Board
of Appeals to amend said site plan and statement, and any amendment
of said site plan and statement shall be acted upon in the same manner
as an original application for a permit under this subdivision.
(6)
The Board of Appeals in authorizing the issuance of
any permit under this section may provide that said permit shall be
temporary and fix the term thereof. Any application for a renewal
of a temporary permit shall be acted upon in the same manner as an
original application.
Each application for a permit involving a use
subject to additional standards and requirements, together with the
required map and plan, shall be referred to the Board of Appeals by
the Building Inspector. No action shall be taken by the Building Inspector
regarding the issuance of the permit applied for until the Board of
Appeals has rendered its decision and order made thereon after public
notice and hearing.
In making its decision and order, the Board of Appeals shall be subject to and bound by all the requirements set forth in Article VI hereof and shall give effect to the general standards and requirements set forth in this article and to the specific standards and requirements for each such use under consideration as set forth in Article VI. Said decision and order shall state whether or not the specific and general standards and requirements have been met by the applicant and shall include appropriate and reasonable conditions and safeguards which the Board of Appeals itself deems necessary to impose in any case to assure continual conformance to all applicable requirements.
If the decision and order of the Board of Appeals indicates that all applicable requirements have been met and the Building Inspector has determined that all other applicable requirements and laws have been complied with, he shall issue the building permit for which application has been made, in accordance with § 315-21. The Building Inspector may include such conditions and safeguards in the permit and certificate of occupancy as have been imposed by the Board of Appeals in its decision and order. If the Board of Appeals shall make a finding in its decision that any of the applicable requirements have not been met, the Building Inspector shall consequently not issue the building permit for which the application has been made.
A building permit issued for a use subject to
additional standards shall be deemed to authorize only that particular
use, and such permit shall be considered null and void if within one
year from the date of issue all improvements required for said use
are not completed, unless otherwise provided in the Building Inspector's
approval of said use.
A building permit issued for a use subject to
additional standards may be revoked by the Building Inspector if it
is found and determined that there has been a failure of compliance
with any one of the terms, conditions, limitations and requirements
imposed by said permit.
No permit shall be issued for a use subject
to additional standards for a property where there is an existing
violation of this chapter.
