This chapter shall be known and may be cited
as the "Zoning Law of the Town of Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, New
York."
This chapter regulates and restricts the location,
construction, alteration and use of buildings and structures and the
development and use of land within the Town of Poughkeepsie and for
said purposes divides the Town into zoning districts.
If any part of this chapter is declared to be
invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall
not affect or impair the validity of said chapter as a whole, or any
other part of said chapter. The Town Board hereby declares that it
would have adopted this chapter and each part thereof irrespective
of the fact that any one or more of the parts may be declared invalid.
To the extent that this chapter is inconsistent
with Town Law §§ 261-b, 261-c, 265-a, 267-a, 274-a,
274-b, 276, 277, 278 or any other provision of Article 16 of the Town
Law, the provisions of this chapter are expressly intended to and
do hereby supersede any such inconsistent provisions.
This chapter, together with the Zoning Map,
shall take effect upon filing with the Secretary of State.
