This default zoning article is designated to provide a zoning classification for areas which currently do not have a zoning classification. These areas include federally owned land, state-owned land, county-owned land and Town-owned land. This designation would occur upon the sale or deeding of the property in question to a nongovernmental agency.

Upon sale or deeding of the above-mentioned properties, the zoning classification of that property shall immediately, without any additional Town Board action, become the same as the adjacent zoning district. If the property in question is contiguous to more than one zoning district, then the new zoning classification shall become the most restrictive of the adjacent zoning districts. This shall not be construed as prohibiting any new property owner from requesting a zoning change from the Town Board either prior to purchase or deeding or after purchase or deeding.

Upon sale or deeding of any portion of that property in the Town of Wilton located on County Route 33 and County Route 34, currently owned by the State of New York, known as the "Wilton Developmental Center," the zoning classification of that property shall immediately, without any additional Town Board action, become an I-1 Industrial District. This shall not be construed as prohibiting any new property owner from requesting a zoning change from the Town Board either prior to purchase or deeding or after purchase or deeding.
