Editor's Note: This subsection was amended by L.L. No. 3-2015;
however, due to the invalidation of said local law by the Supreme
Court of Nassau County 6-30-2016, said subsection reads as it did
prior to the 2015 amendment.
Where streets or avenues which are zoned for
business intersect with streets or avenues zoned for residential purposes,
the depth of the business zone is to be limited to 100 feet, except
on streets and avenues where a business already exists to a greater
