All plans for the use, erection, enlargement or alteration of any building or property in a B-1 District shall be subject to site plan approval by the Board of Trustees. In addition, any proposed change of use which would increase the requirement for off-street parking or loading spaces shall be similarly subject to site plan approval by the Board of Trustees.

The following uses are permitted in all B-1 Districts:

All other uses except those noted above shall be prohibited.

Any trade, business, purpose or use, whether or not enumerated in § 200-65, that is declared by the Board of Trustees to be noxious or offensive by reason of hazard or the emission of odor, dust, refuse matter, wastes, smoke, gas or noise, or to be detrimental to the comfort, peace, enjoyment, health or safety of the community, or to tend to become so, is prohibited and shall cease forthwith upon notice of such declaration, if already in operation or existence.

Front yard depth: 10 feet.

Side and rear yards: No side or rear yard shall be required; however, if either is provided, its least dimension shall not be less than six feet.

Dwellings: at least one parking space for each dwelling unit in the building or buildings.

Auditoriums, theaters or other places of public assemblage: at least one parking space for each three seats provided for its patrons (based on maximum seating capacity).

Restaurants: at least one parking space for each three seats or for each 75 square feet of floor area, whichever requirement is greater.

Retail and personal service businesses: at least one parking space for each 150 square feet of floor area.

Offices: at least one parking space for each 250 square feet of floor area.

Medical/dental offices: at least one parking space for each 200 square feet of floor area.

Banks: at least five parking spaces per teller station, but not less than one parking space for each 150 square feet of floor area.

Off-street parking requirements for uses which do not fall within one of the above categories shall be determined by the Village Board of Trustees, after review and report by the Planning Board, as a part of the site plan and/or special permit approval process.

All parking spaces provided pursuant to this section shall be on the same lot with the building, except that the Board of Appeals may permit the parking spaces to be on any lot within 500 feet of the building, if it determines that it is impractical to provide parking on the same lot with the building.

Where two or more different uses are served by the same parking facility, the total number of parking spaces required shall be the sum of the requirements for each individual use, except that the Board of Trustees may approve, after review and report by the Planning Board, the joint use of parking spaces by two or more different uses on the same or contiguous lots, provided that the total number of spaces is no more than 1/3 less than the sum of the spaces required. In such case, the Board of Trustees shall find that the capacity to be provided will substantially meet the intent of the requirements of this chapter by reason of variation in the probable time of maximum use by patrons and employees of such establishments. Such approval of joint use of parking spaces shall be automatically terminated upon the change of use of one or more of the establishments served to one or more establishments which increase the intensity of use as determined by the Building Inspector. If more than one lot is involved, the Board of Trustees shall require, as a condition of its approval, a legal instrument in form satisfactory to the Village Attorney, assuring the continued use of such joint parking facilities in connection with the uses they are intended to serve.

Fee in lieu of off-street parking. A payment in lieu of parking for the enumerated districts within the Village may be accepted by the Board of Trustees to satisfy the off-street parking requirements in those districts as long as the following standards are met:

Off-street loading.

Waiver of improvement. Where the Board of Trustees, in connection with its review of a site plan, determines that the immediate use of any property may not warrant the full improvement of all required off-street parking and/or loading spaces, the Board, after review and report by the Planning Board, may waive the improvement of up to 1/3 of the total number of such spaces, subject to the following conditions:

Landscaping of off-street parking and loading areas. All off-street parking and loading facilities shall be curbed, screened and landscaped with appropriate trees, shrubs, ground cover and other plant materials to assure the establishment of a safe, convenient and attractive facility and shall comply with the following requirements:

Lighting. All off-street parking and loading areas shall be suitably lighted to provide for the safety and convenience of those using such facilities. Illumination shall be of such type and location, and shall have such shading, as will prevent the source of the light, or any objectionable glare, from being observable from any neighboring streets or properties. The location of lighting facilities shall be coordinated with the landscaping plan so as to assure adequate coverage of all areas. The lighting plan shall be subject to approval of the Board of Trustees, after review and report by the Planning Board.

Striping. All parking spaces shall be separated by double painted lines in accordance with the Typical Parking Space Details as shown on Detail 1.[1]

Directional signage. Standard traffic directional signage shall be provided in all off-street parking and loading areas to properly control and direct traffic flow. The design and location of such signage shall be based on accepted engineering practice and subject to approval by the Board of Trustees, after review and report by the Planning Board.

Aisles. All parking spaces shall be designed at a 90° angle with a twenty-four-foot-wide two-way maneuvering aisle unless a different width or angle is permitted or required by the Board of Trustees based upon the unique size, shape and/or function of the parking facility. In those circumstances where the Board of Trustees does permit parking at an angle other than 90°, circulation in each maneuvering aisle shall be limited to one-way only.

Modification of parking/loading space requirements. In applying the above off-street parking and loading space requirements, the Board of Trustees shall take into consideration the specific nature of the use proposed, e.g., high turnover, regional serving uses versus low turnover, local serving uses, and, as a result of such consideration, may modify the minimum requirements, after review and report by the Planning Board, provided that these requirements may be neither increased nor decreased by more than 1/3 without a zoning amendment or variance. In the case of any such modification, the Board of Trustees shall state in its resolution of site plan/special permit approval the basis upon which such modification is made.
