§ 220-37. Motor vehicle service stations and motor vehicle repair stations., Article VI. Regulations Governing Special Permit Uses, Chapter 220. Zoning, Part II. General Legislation, Code of Ordinances, Canandaigua, Town

In addition to the information required in the special permit application and enumerated herein, the site plan submitted shall also show the location and number of fuel tanks to be installed, the dimensions and capacity of each storage tank, the depth the tanks will be placed below the ground, number and location of fuel pumps to be installed; and proof that fuel tanks will be registered and operated in accordance with applicable state and/or federal laws.

Such uses shall be screened from adjacent uses by a buffer area not less than 10 feet in depth composed of densely planted evergreen shrubbery, solid fencing, or a combination of both which, in the opinion of the Town Planning Board, will be adequate to prevent the transmission of headlight glare across the district boundary line. The Town Planning Board shall determine on an individual-case basis how close to the right-of-way the landscaped buffer shall be required to be installed. Such buffer screen shall have a minimum height of six feet above the ground. If said shrubbery becomes decayed and fails to provide an adequate screen, the Zoning Officer shall direct the property owner to replace said shrubs.

The entire area of the site traveled by motor vehicles shall be hard surfaced.

All repairs of motor vehicles, except for minor servicing, shall be performed in a fully enclosed building. No motor vehicle parts or partially dismantled motor vehicles shall be stored outside of an enclosed building.

Motor vehicle service stations may include facilities for the sale of food, household items and convenience merchandise, provided that the sale of such items takes place entirely within an enclosed building.

No commercial parking shall be allowed on the premises of a motor vehicle service station or motor vehicle repair station, except for a vehicle associated with the service station's operation.

Accessory goods for sale may be displayed on the pump island and the building island only. The outdoor display of oil cans and/or antifreeze and similar products may be displayed on the respective island if provided for in a suitable stand or rack.

No building or structure, including gasoline pump or automotive service appliances, shall be erected within 100 feet of any street line.

No motor vehicle service station or motor vehicle repair station may display more than two unregistered vehicles for sale or repair outside of an enclosed building at any one time.

No motor vehicle service station or motor vehicle repair station shall have more than two driveways on any public street fronting the site. The driveway width on any street shall not exceed 1/3 of the total site frontage on each street.

No driveway shall be closer than 50 feet to the intersection of two street corner lot lines or within 20 feet of an adjacent lot line.

No motor vehicle service station and no driveway to any such use (measured along the street line on the side of the street which such driveway would cross) shall be established within 200 feet of the boundary line of any residential district, or of any school, church, park, playground, hospital, public library, institution for dependent children, or any place of public assembly designed for the simultaneous use of 100 persons or more, regardless of the district where the subject premises are located.

Editor’s Note: Former Subsection M, which provided that no motor vehicle service station and no outdoor gasoline or oil pump would be established within 1,000 feet of another motor vehicle service station or outdoor gasoline or oil pump, and which immediately followed this subsection, was repealed 12-21-2105 by L.L.
