B.
Purposes.
(1)
Village Residential I (VR-I). The Village Residential I District
is designed to encourage residential uses and associated accessory
structures. Low-intensity home occupations will also be encouraged
and allowed as of right.
[Amended 5-7-2014 by L.L. No. 1-2014]
(2)
Village Residential II (VR-II). The Village Residential II District is designed to encourage residential uses and accessory structures as the primary uses. Low-intensity home occupations will be encouraged and allowed as of right. Mobile homes, as defined in Article XI, are allowed in this district only.
[Amended 5-7-2014 by L.L. No. 1-2014]
(3)
Suburban Residential (SR). The Suburban Residential District is designed
to accommodate a slightly more rural character than the Village Residential
Districts. As such, the uses allowed in this district are the same
but the lot size is higher. Residential uses and accessory structures
are the primary uses allowed by right in this zone. A number of other
uses are allowed under site plan review.
(4)
Village Business (VB).
(a)
The Village Business District is designed to maintain the downtown
business core as a distinct social, cultural and business place with
mixed land uses, including high-density commercial and residential.
Uses should encourage the establishment of retail, professional services
and institutions and other uses consistent with the needs of a Village
community. The district should also function for both residents and
visitors, recognizing that an important economic development strategy
is to develop opportunities for recreational tourism. Consistent with
the Comprehensive Master Plan, second-floor residential units should
be allowed and encouraged wherever practical.
(b)
New freestanding buildings are encouraged to maintain the Village
atmosphere.
(5)
Gateway Corridor (GC).
(a)
The Gateway Corridor District is designed to allow a mix of
residential, commercial and institutional uses along the Route 9N
and Palmer Avenue corridors leading into the Village. Business uses
should be compatible with nearby residences and fit into the residential
character of the area to the greatest extent possible.
(b)
Parking should be on the side or in the rear of buildings and
setbacks consistent with adjacent structures. Shared parking arrangements
are encouraged. Home occupations, multifamily homes and offices are
encouraged in this district.
[Amended 5-7-2014 by L.L. No. 1-2014]
(6)
Secondary Gateway Corridor (SGC). The Secondary Gateway Corridor
District is designed to allow a mix of residential, commercial and
institutional uses along the secondary corridors of Hamilton and Main
Streets (south of the Village). It is envisioned that many of these
uses will complement or support existing businesses in the downtown
as well as provide needed services to the residential community. Business
uses should be compatible with nearby residences and fit into the
residential character of the area to the greatest extent possible.
Parking should be on the side or in the rear of buildings and setbacks
consistent with adjacent structures. Shared parking arrangements are
encouraged. Home-occupations, multifamily homes and offices are encouraged
in this district.
(7)
Industrial (I).
[Amended 5-16-2007 by L.L. No. 2-2007]
(a)
Purpose. The Industrial District established in this section
is designed to provide adequate and appropriate sites to situate industrial
and manufacturing facilities within the Village, to promote the municipality's
economy and to protect public health and general welfare, in accordance
with its Comprehensive Master Plan. The general goals include, among
others, the following specific purposes:
[1]
To provide adequate space in appropriate locations to meet the
needs of the expected future economy for a variety of industrial and
manufacturing uses with due allowance for the need for a choice of
sites.
[2]
To provide, as far as possible, that such space will be available
for use for industrial, manufacturing, and related activities and
to protect residences by separating them from permitted activities.
[3]
To encourage and accommodate facilities involved in manufacturing,
assembling, disassembling, repairing, fabricating, finishing, packaging
or processing operations which are free from danger of fire, explosions,
toxic and noxious matter, radiation and other hazards, and from offensive
noise, vibration, smoke, dust and other particulate matter, odorous
matter, heat, humidity, glare and other objectionable influences,
by permitting such development in designated areas and subject to
restrictions without regard to the industrial products and processes
involved.
[4]
To protect adjacent residential and commercial areas and to
protect the labor force in other establishments engaged in less offensive
types of manufacturing and related activities by allowing within the
Village only those manufacturing activities which are free from danger
of fire, explosions, toxic and noxious matter, radiation and other
hazards, and from offensive noise, vibration, smoke, dust and other
particulate matter, odorous matter, heat, humidity, glare and other
objectionable influences.
[5]
To promote the most desirable use of land and to direct building
development in accordance with a comprehensive plan, to promote stability
of industrial and related development, to strengthen the economic
base of the municipality, to protect the character of the district
and its peculiar suitability for particular uses, to conserve the
value of land and buildings and to protect the municipality's tax
revenues.
(b)
Permitted uses. Once a special use permit has been obtained
from the Village Board, those uses of buildings or premises or the
erection of a building or part of a building which is arranged, intended
or designed to be used, in whole or in part, for any industrial use
or manufacturing use shall be permitted.
(c)
Prohibited uses and by-products of prohibited uses. Any use
or by-product of a use which is noxious or offensive by reason of
emission of odor, dust, noise, smoke, gas, fumes or radiation, which
presents a hazard to public health or safety or which is otherwise
inconsistent with the general goals of the Industrial District is
prohibited. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
following uses or by-products of uses are deemed to be included herein:
[Amended 8-15-2007 by L.L. No. 4-2007]
[1]
Solid waste, commercial waste, agricultural waste, industrial
waste, C&D debris and/or municipal solid waste, including but
not limited to treatment, processing, incineration and disposal facilities,
where such uses are primary and not incidental or accessory uses.
[2]
Explosives manufacturing or storage.
[3]
Petroleum refining.
[4]
Slaughterhouses.
[5]
Concrete and asphalt plants.
[6]
Construction and demolition (C&D) debris recycling and disposal.
(8)
East
Palmer Neighborhood Overlay District (EP-NOD). The East Palmer Neighborhood
Overlay District is designed to promote the compatible integration
of neighborhood-scale personal and professional services, as well
as commercial and mixed residential/commercial uses and other neighborhood-scaled
uses not currently permitted by the underlying zoning district(s).
New uses in this district are not intended to compete with the success
of similar uses in areas zoned Village Business. Rather, this district
is established to facilitate the successful redevelopment of vacant,
underutilized and incompatible uses, buildings and properties and
to enhance the overall business vitality of the Village. All uses
and structures proposed in this district shall be harmonious with
the character of the areas in which they are located.
