It has been determined by the Board of Trustees that:
Many residents of the Village of Washingtonville and the surrounding area have reached the age where their housing needs are different from those of younger groups.
The special needs of these older persons include suitable and adequate accommodations and facilities, properly located, for social, cultural and recreational activities which will afford them a pleasant and productive way of life.
These special needs of older people are being met nationally by the creation of adult communities which are especially designed to offer such accommodations and facilities,
The quality of life in residential adult communities is enhanced by proximity to, and the potential for interaction with, single-family residential areas not restricted to seniors.
The Board of Trustees recognizes the needs of these adult citizens and the desirability of such adult communities carefully planned to meet such needs and that, unless such needs are met, many older residents whose roots are in the Village of Washingtonville and the surrounding area and who wish to reside therein close to their children and families may be obligated to leave, thereby causing the village to lose a valuable human resource.
The Board of Trustees finds that the creation of a zoning district which will permit the construction of such adult communities in close proximity to single-family residential communities not restricted to seniors is in the public interest and will promote the health, welfare and safety of the residents of the Village of Washingtonville, and the Board of Trustees hereby enacts the following provisions.
