Zoning districts
| District | Min lot | Setbacks F / S / R | Max height | ADU |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| O Residential Use District | 0.23 ac | 30 / 10 / 30 ft | 35 ft | No |
O Residential Use District - The front yard is 30 ft or the average front setback of existing residences on the same street within 200 ft, whichever is greater (§ 58-9F(1)). Not more than one dwelling may be erected or occupied on one lot.
- The Board of Appeals may vary any yard depth or width wherever established yards within 200 ft differ from the chapter (§ 58-9F(6)).
- A lot already under 85 ft wide when the chapter was enacted has side yards modified in proportion to its width, one not less than 4 ft and the other not less than 11 ft (§ 58-9F(4)).
- A corner lot owes 30 ft along the side lot line next to the side street for the full depth of the lot.
- The Zoning Board of Appeals may permit building lots of 65 ft and above on application where smaller lots already exist nearby (§ 58-9H).
- Coverage counts one-family dwellings and their accessory structures together, so a detached garage uses the house's allowance.
- The floor area shown is for a one-storey house. A two- or three-storey house needs 700 sq ft on the ground floor, a split level 1,100 sq ft and a raised ranch 800 sq ft aboveground (§ 58-9I).
Short-term rentals
Short-term rentals allowed with local rules. The only path to a paid short stay is an owner-occupied bed-and-breakfast in the O district, run as a home occupation under a special conditional use permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals. The owner must live there full time, so an investor-owned whole-house rental has no path.
Conditions the code attaches:
- No more than nine guests per night, and the ZBA may set fewer. No guest may stay more than 15 days on one visit.
- At least three off-street parking spaces, and no permit if an off-street parking variance was granted within the previous five years.
- No accessory apartment in the residence, breakfast is the only meal, and no new permit within 500 feet of an existing bed-and-breakfast or permit.
- The permit does not run with the land, so a new owner must apply to the ZBA afresh.
- Every residential rental property must be registered each year with the Code Enforcement Officer, and whether that reaches a bed-and-breakfast is not stated.
- Every host must also register with New York State's short-term rental registry. Code Enforcement: (585) 637-5300 ext. 114.
