§ 105-92. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • A. 
    The inclusion of an Economic Development A District (hereinafter designated the "ED-A District") as part of the comprehensive plan of land use embodied in this chapter is in accord with the following development policy for the Village of Lake Success, taking into account considerations of the conservation of existing and potential property values in the Village; the character of existing development in the Village; the physical characteristics of the terrain of the Village and the suitability of the land of the Village for various uses; and the physical situation of the Village and the functional relationships of the uses of the land therein to the existing and prospective development of the intercommunity area consisting of the Great Neck - Manhasset areas and adjoining areas in Nassau County, New York, it is determined that:
    (1) 
    The most appropriate predominant use of land throughout the Village consists of low-density one-family residential development, carefully regulated as to quality.
    (2) 
    All other uses in the Village shall be either:
    (a) 
    Related to such residential use in a community sense, such as schools, churches and other community institutions; or
    (b) 
    Economically related to such residential use by reason of contributing to a tax base for the Village which will make possible the adequate provision of the public facilities and services necessary for sound residential development; or
    (c) 
    Limited to a type which may complement the nonresidential uses within or in the vicinity of the Village.
    (3) 
    All such nonresidential uses shall be limited in location, size and character to the extent that they will satisfactorily perform their respective functions, as aforesaid, in a manner which will not detract from the predominantly low-density one-family residential character of the Village or hinder further development of like nature and quality.
    B. 
    The ED-A District is intended to provide a means for the establishment of the types of uses outlined in Subsection A(2) and (3) above in a manner in keeping with modern practice as to group design of the buildings in which such uses are conducted, provision of adequate off-street automobile parking space and safe and convenient traffic access and pedestrian circulation, and in harmony with the character of the neighborhood in which such uses are located.
