Weedsport Village City Zoning Code
ARTICLE XIX
Amendments
§ 215-163 Procedure.
The Village Board of Trustees may from time to time on its own motion, or on petition, or on recommendation of the Planning Board or the Zoning Board of Appeals, amend, supplement or repeal the regulations and provisions of this chapter after public notice and hearing.
Every such proposed amendment or change shall be referred to the Planning Board for report thereon before the public hearing hereinafter provided for. The Board of Trustees, by resolution adopted at a meeting, shall fix the time and place of a public hearing on the proposed amendments and cause notice to be given as follows:
By publishing a notice of the time and place of the hearing at least 10 days prior to the date of such hearing in a paper of general circulation in the Village.
A written notice of any proposed change or amendment affecting property within the protectively zoned area of a housing project authorized under the Public Housing Law, as such area is shown on an approved Zoning Map filed with the Code Enforcement Officer, shall be given to the housing authority erecting or owning the project and to the government providing financial aid for assistance thereto at least 10 days prior to the date of such hearing.
A written notice of any proposed change or amendment affecting property within 500 feet of the boundaries of any city, Village, town or county shall be given to the clerk of such municipality and the clerk of the county legislature at least 10 days prior to the date of such hearing.
In case, however, of a protest against such change signed by the owners of 20% or more of the area of land including such proposed change or of that immediately adjacent extending 100 feet therefrom or of that 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 Board of Trustees.
As required under § 239-m of the New York State General Municipal Law, amendments shall be referred to the County Planning Board for review and recommendations.
