Honeoye Falls City Zoning Code

PART 2

District and Use Regulations

§ 190-13 District established.

A. 
The residential districts are listed in the table below. When this chapter refers to residential or "R" zoning districts, is referring to one of the following:
Residential District Name
Abbreviation and Map Symbol
Single-Family Residential
R-1
Transitional Residential
R-2
Multifamily Residential
R-3
Village Residential
R-4
B. 
The residential district names and map symbols are intended to provide a general indication of what is allowed in the district by denoting the intensity, scale, and/or type of uses permitted.

§ 190-14 Purpose statements.

A. 
Single-Family Residential (R-1) District. The purpose of the Single-Family Residential District is to support the vision and policies contained within the Village's adopted Comprehensive Plan with respect to the preservation and enhancement of existing, traditional single-family neighborhoods. The intent of this district is to permit the construction and/or reconstruction of single-family detached dwellings that do not compromise the existing residential character and pedestrian-friendly setting of Honeoye Falls' neighborhoods. Future development and investment should continue the existing traditional neighborhood development pattern, generally consisting of owner-occupied, single-family detached homes, unobstructed front yards, garages set back from the primary residence, and pedestrian-scaled streetscapes (e.g., with sidewalks, streetlighting, street trees, etc.).
B. 
Transitional Residential (R-2) District. The purpose of the Transitional Residential District is to serve as a moderate-density transitional zone from the Village's single-family neighborhoods to nearby commercial corridors and activity centers. The intent of this district is to permit single- and two-family dwellings at the edge of neighborhoods where there may be increased activity due to the presence of nearby commercial, civic, and office uses. The conversion of dwellings into multifamily units, professional offices, or civic spaces may be considered by special permit in this district. The overall residential character and walkability of the neighborhood should not be negatively impacted by the introduction or change of any use. The transition from adjacent single-family neighborhoods to uses in the R-2 District should remain seamless so as not to delineate any significant change in scale, intensity of use, character, or form.
C. 
Multifamily Residential (R-3) District. The purpose of the Multifamily Residential District is to provide for a variety of housing choice as outlined in the Village's adopted Comprehensive Plan. This district is intended to permit the highest density and variety of residential development within the Village to serve the changing needs of residents regardless of age, ability, or income. The provision of multifamily dwellings in this district should be consistent with the character and design of traditional residential homes in the Village. Developments should be campus-like in design and create a sense of place, with four-sided architectural treatments on all structures, well-established internal and external pedestrian and vehicular connections, and designated areas of public open space for passive and active recreation. Care should be taken to ensure that proper landscaping and screening is provided throughout developments as a buffer to adjacent lower-density residential uses.
D. 
Village Residential (R-4) District. The purpose of the Village Residential District is to provide for growth and development in accordance with the Village's adopted Comprehensive Plan while also reflecting the traditional character of the neighborhoods which form the core of the Village. The development of the Village prior to its zoning law resulted in varying residential lot sizes and uses at its core, which is a highly valued feature of the Village today. The intent of this district is to encourage the continuation of such a unique development approach with future investment. This is achieved by permitting a mix of residential living opportunities and creating flexibility in the lot and dimensional standards. The appropriateness of future development proposals in this district will be evaluated based on their achievement of the following objectives:
(1) 
Preserve the openness of Village gateways as they now exist and blend development into the adjacent Village and town lands;
(2) 
Protect the Village's natural environment and resources;
(3) 
Retain and enhance areas of open space as natural lands as well as areas for passive and active recreation;
(4) 
Perpetuate and preserve the character and uniqueness of the Village's traditional neighborhood settlement pattern;
(5) 
Provide a variety of housing types and sizes to increase residential living opportunities for all residents;
(6) 
Foster a walkable community that connects neighbors to neighbors and enhances Village life;
(7) 
Reduce the overall development costs of new neighborhoods; and
(8) 
Provide for more efficient delivery of Village services.

The Board of Trustees of the Village of Honeoye Falls hereby adopts the provisions of § 7-738 of NYS Village Law and elects to exercise the powers granted in said section. The Board of Trustees hereby grants to the ZBA all of the powers and authority under § 7-738 and as specified herein for subdivision approval in the Village Residential District. Accordingly, all development in the R-3 and R-4 districts shall provide for clustering and open space, pursuant to the provisions stated herein.

§ 190-19 Open space requirements (subdivision).

A. 
All R-3 and R-4 districts shall be designed and subdivided to preserve open space, respect the physical qualities of the land, and reduce the overall development costs of a subdivision or neighborhood.

Any subdivision of land in an R-3 or R-4 district shall provide for open space. In the event that a subdivision is less than five acres, the ZBA may vary the dimensional and open space requirements of this section in accordance with the guidelines set forth herein.
C. 
"Open space" is a common area that is intended to provide light and air and is designated for either environmental, scenic, or recreational purposes. "Open space" shall not be deemed to include driveways, parking lots, or other surfaces designed or intended for vehicular travel, and retention or detention ponds. In no event shall any area of a platted developable lot, nor any part of an existing or future road or right-of-way, be counted as constituting "open space."
D. 
In determining open space, any critical environmental area, any undevelopable land, or land in an Environmental Protection Overlay District may be included for such determination.
E. 
The ZBA, as a condition of plat approval, may establish such conditions on the ownership, use and maintenance of such land as it deems necessary to assure the preservation of such lands for their intended purposes. The open space created by the use of the provisions of this chapter must be clearly labeled on the subdivision map as to its use and the rights of the owners in the subdivisions, as well as whether it is to be dedicated ultimately to the Village or other governmental body or to an approved private or conservation corporation or to a homeowners' association or otherwise under conditions meeting with ZBA approval. The details as to use and ownership of such open space are further to be set out in a declaration recorded by the owner or other appropriate instrument. Such open space is to be preserved in perpetuity, and the ZBA may require an open space easement running to the Village as a condition of approval. The dedication of any lands, by ownership or easement, to the Village of Honeoye Falls will be subject to approval and acceptance by the Board of Trustees.
F. 
Homeowners' association.
(1) 
If the open space or an open space easement therein is not to be dedicated to the Village or other governmental authority or to an approved private conservation corporation, the applicant must either simultaneously with the filing of the map create a homeowners' association or neighborhood corporation embracing all homeowners within the map and providing for adequate contributions for maintenance of said open space or otherwise satisfy the ZBA with regard to the maintenance of said open space.
(2)

(a) 
The homeowners' association must be established before the lots are sold.
(b) 
Membership must be mandatory for each lot buyer or owner, any successive buyer or owner or each lot created and must be legally required, by duly filed covenants and restrictions, to pay to the homeowners' association a yearly fee to be used for maintenance of the open space.
(c) 
The open space restrictions must be in perpetuity, not just for a given period of years.
(d) 
The association must be responsible for liability insurance, local taxes and the maintenance of recreational and other facilities.
(e)

The association must be able to adjust the assessment to meet changing needs.
(g) 
The applicant shall make a conditional offer of dedication binding upon the homeowners' association for all open space to be conveyed to the association, such offer to be accepted by the Village, should it choose, upon the failure of the homeowners' association to take title to the open space from the applicant or other current owner or upon dissolution of the association at any future time.
(h) 
The association must comply with the laws of the State of New York and the Attorney General's rules and regulations for creation of homeowners' associations.
G. 
In addition to the other ZBA requirements for final maps, upon final approval of the subdivision application by the ZBA, the applicant shall file the subdivision map in the office of the County Clerk, which map shall contain thereon:

Neighborhood Business
NB
Central Business
CB

GB
B. 
The business district names and map symbols are intended to provide a general indication of what is allowed in the district by denoting the intensity, scale, and/or type of uses permitted.

§ 190-21 Purpose statements.

A. 
Neighborhood Business (NB) District. The purpose of the Neighborhood Business District is to implement the recommendations of the Village's Comprehensive Plan (as amended) and provide for increased economic development opportunity in established neighborhoods near or adjacent to commercial activity centers. The intent of the NB District is to permit the continuation of residential uses alongside small-scale retail, service, and offices uses. The development or adaptive reuse of structures is allowed, provided the proposed structure and use is compatible with the scale, form, and level of intensity of nearby existing structures. The appropriateness of any one structure or use in the NB District will be evaluated based on the following objectives:
(1) 
Nonresidential buildings are located in close proximity to the roadway, with parking at the side or rear of the buildings only;
(2) 
Pedestrian access is provided to and from all buildings, parking areas, and site amenities;
(3) 
Architectural features of new structures achieve harmony in scale, design, and detail with adjacent structures;
(4) 
Landscaped buffers and screening between residential and nonresidential activities is provided, preserving the integrity of each activity;
(5) 
Existing trees, shrubs, and other natural features are preserved to the greatest extent practicable; and
(6) 
Existing historically significant structures are preserved.
B. 
Central Business (CB) District. The purpose of the Central Business District is to maintain and enhance the historic character and vibrancy of the Village's multistory, mixed-use 19th Century Main Street. The CB District is characterized by its sidewalk connectivity, traditional architecture, and dense concentration of activity with a high degree of amenities that creates an inviting streetscape for visitors arriving on foot, bicycle, or by motor vehicle. Future development and investment in the CB District shall be consistent with and positively contribute to the existing pedestrian-friendly environment and historic character of Main Street Honeoye Falls with respect to building and site design. Existing historically significant structures shall be preserved to the greatest extent practicable. The restoration or rehabilitation of structures for reuse is encouraged.
C. 
General Business (GB) District. The purpose of the GB District is to accommodate a mix of uses that cater to Village residents, travelers and tourists, while also implementing the recommendations of the Village's adopted Comprehensive Plan. The GB District is intended to designate areas for the development of larger-scale commercial activities that depend upon relatively significant volumes of motor vehicle traffic. Development in the GB District should not be made at the expense of the Village's character and walkability, but rather be pursued in a manner that enhances the public and private realms. Future investment should include pedestrian and bicyclist access both on and off site, implement traffic-calming measures in building and site design practices, and provide ample greenery and landscaping so as to create a comfortable and inviting streetscape for all modes of travel. Special attention should be given to the design and buffering techniques of parking facilities, access points, and structures to create welcoming gateways into the Village.

The purpose of the Mixed-Use Industrial District is to provide for the mixing of compatible light industrial and commercial land uses within the gateway corridor of West Main Street. Consistent with maintaining a high quality of life in the Village and implementing the recommendations of the Village's adopted Comprehensive Plan, the MI District is established to encourage flexibility in the use of land along with phased, efficient, and attractive growth that complements the character of the Village's traditional settlement pattern. Specifically, the intent of this district is to:

Ensure a visually appealing space at the western gateway area of the Village which will serve to define and preserve Village character;
(2) 
Ensure safe and attractive pedestrian environments;
(3) 
Provide developments and buildings for nonresidential and mixed purposes which reflect the scale, proportion and character of nonresidential and mixed purpose buildings in the traditional village model;

Light Industrial (LI) District. The purpose of the Light Industrial District is to provide areas which may accommodate certain low-impact industrial uses, as well as to provide local employment opportunities. This district is suitable for areas with adequate utilities, proximity to adequate transportation facilities and proper relationship to other land uses and natural features. Light industrial uses should be conducted within an enclosed structure and should be appropriately sited so as to foster a campus-style environment. Industrial uses may include those in manufacturing and production utilizing previously prepared materials, but not those utilizing raw materials or any other process or activity which would result in or cause dissemination of excessive amounts of dust, smoke, gas, fumes, odors, noise, glare, vibration or any other nuisance to adjacent buildings or land. This district specifically excludes residences, retail stores and restaurants due to the potential for conflicts between land uses.

§ 190-42 Floodplain Overlay District.

A. 
Purpose. Certain areas of the Village of Honeoye Falls are subject to periodic flooding which can result in loss of life, property damage, health and safety hazards, disruption of commercial and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditure for flood protection and relief and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare of the residents of this Village. These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in the floodplains causing increases in flood heights and velocities and by the occupancy in flood hazard areas by uses which are inadequately elevated, floodproofed or otherwise protected from flood damage. It is the purpose of the Floodplain Overlay District to prevent public and private losses due to flood conditions in certain areas by provisions designed to:
(1) 
Protect the health and welfare of the residents of this Village;
(2) 
Minimize public expenditure for flood control projects;
(3) 
Minimize the need for relief and rescue efforts;
(4) 
Minimize business interruptions;
(5) 
Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities;
(6) 
Help maintain a stable tax base by minimizing flood damage to private and commercial property; and
(7) 
Identify those structures and properties which are located in areas of special flood hazard and maintain such information for public inspection.
B.

The boundaries of the Floodplain Overlay District shall be delineated on the Official Village of Honeoye Falls EPOD Maps and shall include all areas of flood hazard, and identified as Zone A by the Federal Emergency Management Agency on a map entitled "The Village of Honeoye Falls Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM)." These maps and any revision thereto are hereby adopted by references and declared to be a part of this article.
(2) 
Where base flood elevation data has not been provided in the FIRM for areas in the Village of Honeoye Falls as required above, the CEO shall obtain, review, and reasonably utilize any base flood elevation data available from a federal, state, Village or other source, in order to administer the standards and requirements of this article.
C. 
Prohibited activities. The following activities are not permitted in the EPOD:
(1) 
The temporary or permanent placement of a mobile home or similar structure.
(2) 
The construction or operation of an on-site sewage disposal system.
(3) 
Any other activity which, as demonstrated through a technical evaluation, will result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge.
D. 
Regulated activities. No person shall conduct any of the following regulated activities within the EPOD zone unless such person has first applied for and obtained an EPOD development permit pursuant to the requirements of this article:
(1) 
Additions or substantial improvements to structures.
(2) 
New structures.
(3) 
Outside storage of material and equipment.
(4) 
Subdivision of land.
(5) 
Any man-made change to improved or unimproved real estate, including, but not limited to, buildings or other structures, demolition, excavation or drilling operations.
E. 
Review standards. No EPOD development permit shall be issued for any regulated activity within the Floodplain Overlay District unless the applicant for such a permit has provided evidence of the following:
(1) 
That the same structure will be constructed with its lowest floor, including basement, elevated to at least two feet above the base flood level.
(2) 
That the structure will not affect the efficiency or the capacity of the floodway or increase base flood elevation more than one foot.
(3) 
That the structure will not cause increased velocities or obstruct or otherwise catch or collect debris which will obstruct flow under flood conditions.
(4) 
That the structure shall be constructed and placed on the building site so as to offer the minimum obstructions to the flow of waters.
(5) 
That the structure shall be firmly anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement which may result in damage to other structures, restrictions of bridge openings and other narrowing of the watercourse.
(6) 
That all new and replacement water supply and sanitary sewer systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the systems and discharge from the systems into floodwaters.
(7) 
That service facilities, such as electrical and heating equipment, shall be constructed at or above the base flood level for the particular area or shall be floodproofed.
(8) 
That new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed using materials, methods and practices that minimize flood damages.
(9) 
That base flood elevation data is provided for all subdivision proposals.
(10) 
Information and/or a description regarding the extent to which any watercourse will be altered or relocated as a result of any proposed development.

Obtain and record the actual elevation (in relation to mean sea level) of the lowest habitable floor (including basement) of all new or substantially improved structures, and whether or not the structure contains a basement.
(c) 
Maintain for public inspection all records pertaining to the provision of this article.
(2) 
Where this article imposes greater restrictions than are imposed by the provision of any law, ordinance, regulation or private agreement, this article shall control. Where there are restrictions by law, ordinance, regulation or private agreement greater than those imposed by this article, such greater restrictions shall control. All uses presently permitted in the zoning districts within the Village of Honeoye Falls which also fall within the EPOD shall continue to be permitted uses for these districts, except where otherwise restricted by this article.
(3) 
Appeals for variances to the requirements of this article shall be based upon Section 60.6 (formerly 1910.6) of the National Flood Insurance Program Regulations. Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice that the structure will be permitted to be built with a lowest floor elevation below the base flood elevation and that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate with the increased risk resulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation.
(4) 
No board or official of the Village of Honeoye Falls shall approve any construction or other activity within the Village not in compliance with the standards of Public Law 93-234, 93rd Congress, H.R. 8449, December 31, 1973, better known as the "Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973," and the floodplain management requirements of Section 60.3(d) [formerly 1910.3(d)] and any amendments thereto.
(5) 
The degree of flood protection required by this article is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations. Larger floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes. This article does not imply that land outside the area of special flood hazards or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This article shall not create liability on the part of the Village of Honeoye Falls, any officer or employee thereof or the Federal Emergency Management Agency, for any flood damages that result from reliance on this article or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder.
