structurally altered and regulating and determining yards and other open spaces within and
adjacent to such buildings, the Village is hereby divided into districts under three general
categories which shall be known as: "Residential Districts," "Commercial Districts" and
"Industrial Districts." The general categories are divided into12 use districts, which are as follows:

SECTION 301. Residential Districts
301.1 "S-1" Suburban Residential: For low density residential development whether or not
public water and public sanitary sewers are available. It is intended also to allow
agricultural product uses, essential public facilities and services such as public buildings,
schools, railroads, and public utilities. This may include some limited commercial

3.2
activities which are an integral part of agricultural, such as road side stands or structures
used for the sale of agricultural produce or products and/or nursery and greenhouse sales
areas; as well as churches and other related non-profit public service facilities.
301.2 "R-A" Single-Family Residential: For relatively low density residential development
where public water and public sanitary sewers are available. It is intended that uses
within this district be exclusively residential contained within a neighborhood setting.
301.3 "R-B" Single-Family Residential: For low-medium density residential development
where public water and public sanitary sewers are available.
301.4 "R-1" Single-Family Residential: For medium density residential development where
public water and public sanitary sewers are available. It is intended that existing "R-1"
district boundaries shall not be expanded.
301.5 "R-2" Single-Family Residential: To accommodate the existing narrow developed lots in
and around the Village Center. This district is not intended to be expanded.
301.6 "R-3" Two-Family Residential: For medium-high density residential development on lots
which are served by public water and public sanitary sewers and which are located in
proximity to community services, shopping and related personal services. This district may
serve as a transition zoning between single-family and multi-family or between
single-family and commercial uses.
301.7 "R-4" Multiple-Family Residential: For high density residential development on lots
which are served by public water and public sanitary sewers and located in proximity to
community services, shopping and related personal services.
SECTION 302. Commercial Districts
302.1 "C-1" Neighborhood Commercial: Areas for small local business with convenience-type
goods such as are handled in small food markets and drugstores, plus personal services
such as barber shops and beauty salons. Uses in these areas must be compatible with
surrounding residential uses and not be large generators of traffic. All uses and activities
shall be inside buildings unless related to the existing primary use of the property. Work
activities and material handling will be confined within buildings or within closures.
Materials and products will be stored in enclosed structures or areas screened from view
from adjoining property. External areas of structures will be
Village of Haskins Zoning Ordinance
3.3
landscaped and maintained. Undeveloped areas of the parcel will be kept free of debris
and weeds, and will be routinely maintained by the cutting of all grassed areas.
302.2 "C-2" Village Center Commercial: Provides for business, governmental and institutional
uses which serve the entire village. Provides convenient access to activities and businesses.
All uses and activities shall be inside buildings unless related to the existing primary use of
the property. Work activities and material handling will be confined within buildings or
within closures. Materials and products will be stored in enclosed structures or areas
screened from view from adjoining property. External areas of structures will be
landscaped and maintained. Undeveloped areas of the parcel will be kept free of debris and
weeds and will be routinely maintained by the cutting of all grassed areas. Residential uses
may be allowed within this district. Residential uses shall be permitted when contained
within a non-residential building provided that such use shall not be located on the first
floor of the building. Entrance and exit to the dwelling unit(s) shall be exclusive and
separate from the non-residential part of the building. Off-street parking shall be required
in accordance with Section 600.
302.3 "C-3" General Commercial: Provides for businesses which serve a community level or
regional market. Businesses may be grouped into small centers located along a major
thoroughfare, or at corners of major intersections on large lots to allow for ingress, egress,
internal circulation and adequate parking. Typically these businesses will be high
generators of traffic. Examples of these include but are not limited to large market stores
(grocery, hardware, etc.), drive-through businesses, motels, restaurants, gas stations, etc.
All uses and activities shall be inside buildings unless related to the existing primary use of
the property. Work activities and material handling will be confined within buildings or
within closures. Materials and products will be stored in enclosed structures or areas
screened from view from adjoining property. External areas of structures will be
landscaped and maintained. Undeveloped areas of the parcel will be kept free of debris and
weeds and will be routinely maintained by the cutting of all grassed areas.
SECTION 303. Industrial Districts
303.1 "M-1" Light IndustriaVOffice Research: Areas which, because of their access to
transportation and community services, and because of the nature of their light industrial
operation, with restricted manufacturing operations, research facilities, warehousing, and
offices of a restricted nature, will have little or no detrimental effects on neighboring land
uses. Adequate attempts should be made to provide as much isolation from other areas as
possible. These uses may include activities such as manufacturing, processing, or assembly
of products or the provision of services. No offensive or hazardous conditions
Village of Haskins Zoning Ordinance
3.4
shall be created by an industry and other disruptive activities shall be minimized to
maintain tranquility if proximate to commercial or residential areas. This includes the
absence of such things as excessive traffic, dust, dirt, noxious gases, smoke, noise, fumes
or vibrations. Since certain industrial uses as a part of their operation may have need for
sales distribution and sales outlets, it may be permitted only as an accessory use providing
that goods and services are produced at the site or are an integral part of a warehousing
distribution system. Wherever possible, work activities and material handling will be
confined to within buildings or enclosures. When possible, materials and products will be
stored in enclosed structures or areas screened from the view of adjoining property.
External areas of structures will be landscaped and maintained. Undeveloped areas of the
parcel will be kept free of debris and weeds and will be routinely maintained by the cutting
of all grassed areas.
303.2 "M-2" General Industrial: Areas which, because of their access to transportation and
community services, and isolation from other land uses, can accommodate industrial uses
which might cause detrimental effects in other areas. Provides for industries which by
their nature and function require large parcels for development. These uses may be
objectionable to adjacent residential or commercial properties and therefore should be
grouped together where similar uses are located. Certain industries may need special
consideration because of their potential spill-over effect on surrounding areas. These are
provided for as a special use. These industries may include such activities as fabricating,
processing, smelting and refining, extraction of minerals and stone, foundries, blast
furnaces and similar industries which have the potential of creating impacts in the area
adjacent to and near the industrial activity. Sales distribution and sales outlets may be
permitted as an accessory use providing that goods and services are produced at the site or
are an integral part of a warehousing distribution system.
SECTION 304. Yards; Building Height; Off-Street Parking
Minimum yard requirements and maximum height limitations shall conform to Section 500, and
off-street parking requirements shall conform to Section 600.
SECTION 305. Zoning District Map
305.1 The boundaries of the district are shown upon the map which is made a part of this
Ordinance, which map is designated as the "Zoning District Map." The zoning district
map and all of the notations, references and other information shown thereon, are a part of
this Ordinance and have the same force and effect as if the zoning district map and all
Village of Haskins Zoning Ordinance
3.5
of the notations, references and other information shown thereon were all fully set forth or
described herein, the original of which zoning district map is properly attested and is on
file with the Village Clerk and/ or Administrator.
305.2 In the event that the Official Zoning District Map becomes damaged, destroyed or lost,
the Village Council may by Ordinance adopt a new Official Zoning District Map which
shall supersede the prior Official Zoning District Map.
SECTION 306. District Boundaries
306.1 The district boundary lines on said zoning district map are intended to follow either
centerlines of streets or alleys or lot lines; and where the districts designated on the zoning
district map are bounded approximately by such alley or lot line, such alley or lot line shall
be construed to be the boundary of the district unless such boundary is otherwise indicated
on the zoning district map. In the case of unsubdivided property, wherever a district is
indicated as a strip adjacent to or paralleling an adjacent street or highway, the depth of
such strip shall be 250 feet measured at right angles from the street or highway line and the
length of the frontage shall be the entire tract of land along such street or highway unless
otherwise indicated. In the case of the vacation of a street, alley, water course or other
right-of-way, the abutting zoning classification on each side thereof shall automatically be
extended to the centerline of said vacated street, alley, water course or right-of-way.
306.2 Where boundaries appear to approximately follow such aforesaid lines and are not more
than 10 feet distant therefrom, such lines shall be construed to be the boundary lines
unless specifically shown otherwise.
306.3 Where the actual street layout on the ground varies from that shown on the Zoning Map, the
designations shown on the Map shall be applied to the street as actually laid out so as to
carry out the intent and purpose of the zoning plan for the district.
306.4 Where district boundaries are not otherwise indicated and where the property has been or
may hereafter be subdivided into blocks and lots, the district boundaries shall be construed
to be lot lines.
306.5 If a district boundary line cuts a property having a single ownership as of record, at the
time of the passage of this Zoning Code, such property may take the least restrictive
classification, provided that the property is developed as one unit.

SECTION 307. Zoning of Annexed Land
307.1 All parcels of land which may hereafter be annexed to the Village shall take automatically
the "R-1" Residence, "C-1" Commercial, or "M-1" Industrial use classification, depending
upon whether they are zoned at the time of annexation in one of the residential, commercial
or industrial districts, respectively, of the governing authority formerly having jurisdiction
thereover. Within a reasonable time after annexation, a public hearing on the question of
the permanent zoning classification shall be held. Recommendations of the Planning
Commission shall be reported to Council, in accordance with Article M .
