A.
The Village Board may, from time to time on its own
motion, amend, supplement, repeal or change the regulations and district
boundaries established by this chapter pursuant to law.
B.
Whenever the owners of 50% or more of the frontage
in any district or part thereof included in such change shall present
a petition duly signed and acknowledged to the Village Board requesting
an amendment, supplement or change of the regulations prescribed for
such district or part thereof, it shall be the duty of the Village
Board to vote upon said petition within 90 days after the filing of
the same by the petitioners with the Village Clerk.
C.
The Planning Board may, by resolution, propose an
amendment to the Village Board suggesting a change or repeal of specific
portions of the regulations. Within 30 days from the time such resolution
is filed with the Village Clerk, it shall be the duty of the Board
to vote on such proposed amendment.
A.
All proposed amendments, supplements or changes originating
by petition, or by motion of the Village Board, shall be referred
to the Village Planning Board for a report and recommendation thereon.
The Planning Board shall submit its report within 30 days after receiving
such referral. Failure of the Planning Board to report within the
required time shall be deemed to be disapproval of the proposed amendment.
B.
Whenever any zoning regulation or any amendment including
special permits or variances would change the district classification
of or a regulation applying to real property within a distance of
500 feet from any boundary line of properties in a neighboring municipality
or upon other county or state property as described in §§ 239-l
and 239-m of the General Municipal Law, said zoning regulation or
amendment shall be referred to the Chenango County Planning Department,
which Department shall have 30 days in which to report its recommendations
to the Village Board. Failure of the County Department of Planning
to report within 30 days may be construed to be approval by the Department.
A.
Before any amendment, supplement or change in the
regulations or district boundaries, there shall be a public notice
and hearing thereon as provided by law. Such hearing shall be held
by the Village Board. In addition to the fifteen-day public notice
of a hearing, notice shall be given in writing, either personally
or by mail, to all property owners of the land included in such proposed
change and the land immediately adjacent extending 100 therefrom and
the land directly opposite thereto extending 100 feet from the street
frontage of such opposite land, as said property owners and addresses
appear on the latest completed assessment roll of the Village.
B.
Where more than 12 properties are included in such
change and the Village Board, by resolution, determines that notice
in writing to each property owner is not feasible, the notice of hearing
shall be published in the official paper once a week for three successive
weeks and shall be posted in public places in the Village, of which
six shall be in the area affected.
After the public hearing, and referral to and report by the Planning Board, a majority vote of the members of the Village Board shall be required to amend this Zoning Chapter, except as described in § 293-51, Protest petition.
If a protest against a proposed amendment, supplement
or change is presented to the Village Board, duly signed and acknowledged
by the owners of 20% or more of the area of the land included in such
proposed change or by the owners of 20% or more of the land immediately
adjacent extending 100 feet therefrom or by the owners of 20% or more
of the land directly opposite thereto extending 100 feet from the
street frontage of such opposite land, such amendment shall not become
effective except by the favorable vote of at least four members of
the Village Board.
From time to time, at intervals of not more
than three years, the Planning Board shall reexamine the provisions
of this chapter and the location of district boundary lines and shall
submit to the Village Board a report recommending such changes or
amendments, if any, which may be desirable in the interest of public
safety, health, convenience, necessity or welfare.
