Editor's Note: Said attachment is included as an attachment to this chapter.

§ 180-17.1 Ground floor residential in Central Overlay Area.

[Added 8-21-2000 by L.L. No. 9-2000; amended 1-23-2017 by L.L. No. 1-2017]
A. 
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to regulate the location of ground floor, and particularly ground floor storefront, residential use in the Central Business District (CBD). The loss of retail and commercial spaces to residential use erodes the retail and commercial potential of the CBD. As this potential erodes, it is possible that additional units would be converted to residential, leading to a change in the character of an area traditionally serving as a retail and service center in the community.
B. 
Regulation within the Central Business District. Ground floor residential use in the CBD is prohibited on the section of Market Street between Maple Street and Sandstone Drive on the west side of Market Street and between Main Street and Munson Street on the east side of Market Street. Ground floor residential uses are also prohibited on Maple Street from the intersection of Market Street to the western bank of the Racquette River. Ground floor residential uses are also prohibited on Elm Street from the intersection of Market Street to Park Street on the south side of Elm Street and to the first (from Market Street) public access point to public parking on the north side of Elm Street. Ground floor residential is also prohibited on north side of Main Street from the intersection of Market to the eastern boundary of a parcel with the Tax Map identification of 64.059-11.20, said line beginning approximately 300 feet east of the bounds of Market Street.
C. 
Ground floor residential as a special permit in the Central Business District. In the portions of the CBD not identified in Subsection B, ground floor apartments shall be special permitted uses per the criteria established in § 180-31.

§ 180-18 Airport Approach (Overlay) District (AA).

A. 
Purpose. In furtherance of those general purposes noted above, it is the objective of this overlay district to delineate that area designated as an approach zone to the Potsdam Airport in order to provide a process and guidelines designed to assure the compatibility and safety of uses within such area relative to the arrival and departure patterns of aircraft at Potsdam Airport.
B. 
Permitted uses. Permitted uses shall be those uses otherwise permitted and according to the required process in the underlying zoning district in accord with the additional procedure and requirements of this section.
C. 
Supplementary regulations. All the regulations of the One-Family Residence District (R-1) shall apply in the Airport Approach (Overlay) District, except that overall permitted density shall not exceed one dwelling unit per acre. In addition, no use required to obtain a permit under these regulations or planting that will exceed 45 feet at maturity shall be located in the Airport Approach (Overlay) District until the application for such use has been referred to and recommended for approval by the Potsdam Airport Commission. Any such use or planting to be located in the Airport Approach (Overlay) District shall be reviewed according to and determined to be in compliance with the criteria of the Federal Aviation Agency Regulations, Part 77, Objects Affecting Navigable Airspace, applicable to a Basic Utility — Stage II Airport. In addition, the following shall apply:
(1) 
No structure, including but not limited to a chimney, television tower, transmission line or tree, shall be erected, altered, allowed to grow or maintained to a height in excess of the sum of 45 feet and one foot in height for each 20 feet in horizontal distance beginning at the village boundary and extending to the end of the Airport Approach (Overlay) District. For the purposes of this section, the term "height" shall mean the vertical distance as measured from the established elevation of the airport.
(2) 
No use may be made of land within the district in such a manner as to create electrical interference with radio communication between the airport and aircraft, to make it difficult for flyers to distinguish between airport lights and others, to result in glare in the eyes of flyers using the airport, to impair visibility in the vicinity of the airport or otherwise to endanger the landing, takeoff or maneuvering of aircraft.
(3) 
The owner of any nonconforming structure or tree is hereby required to permit installation, operation and maintenance thereon of such markers and lights as shall be deemed necessary by the Potsdam Airport Commission to indicate to the operators of aircraft in the vicinity of the airport the presence of such airport hazards. Such markers and lights shall be installed, operated and maintained at the expense of the Airport Commission.

§ 180-19 Flood Hazard (Overlay) District (FH).

A. 
Purpose. In furtherance of those general purposes noted above, it is the objective of this overlay district to delineate those areas of the village which have been identified as areas of special flood hazard by the Federal Insurance Administration in a scientific and engineering report entitled "The Flood Insurance Study for the Village of Potsdam, New York," dated July 6, 1981, with accompanying Flood Insurance Rate Maps and Flood Boundary and Floodway Maps. The purpose of the Flood Hazard (Overlay) District is to maintain village eligibility for flood insurance under the National Flood Insurance Program and to avoid inappropriate use of those lands subject to inundation.
B. 
Permitted uses. Permitted uses shall be those uses otherwise permitted and according to the process in the underlying district as further regulated by the procedures and requirements of Chapter 98, Flood Damage Prevention, of the Village Code.
C. 
Supplementary regulations. In addition to the procedures and requirements of this Chapter 180 of the Potsdam Village Municipal Code, all development within the Flood Hazard (Overlay) District shall comply with the standards and procedures outlined in Chapter 98, Flood Damage Prevention, of the Municipal Code. The requirements of that chapter are hereby adopted by reference.
