[Amended 9-18-1958; 5-1-1967; 9-9-1985 by L.L. No. 4-1985]
No building, main or accessory, shall be erected
in an A, B-1, B-2 or C Residence District, unless arranged, intended
or designated exclusively for one or more of the following specified
uses:
A.
Dwellings for the use and occupancy of but one family,
including the office of a professional person, provided that such
office is located in the same dwelling in which the practitioner resides
and is merely incidental to the primary residence use, and further
provided there is no display or advertising and no conspicuous sign
other than a small professional nameplate. The employment of more
than one person by the practitioner in his office shall be deemed
a use not incidental to the primary residence use.
B.
Churches and other places of worship, parish houses,
Sunday school buildings, public libraries and municipal buildings
or properties, provided that such churches and other places of worship,
parish houses, Sunday school buildings, public libraries and municipal
buildings or properties shall be permitted in a residence district
only with the prior approval of the Lake Success Board of Trustees
and Planning Board, after detailed plans therefor shall have been
submitted with an appropriate application, and after due public notice
and hearing, and subject to appropriate conditions and safeguards
and a finding that the proposed use is in harmony with the general
purpose and intent of the chapter and is reasonably necessary for
the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the Village
and of its residents, which approval may be granted in the discretion
of the Board of Trustees, subject to such conditions and restrictions
with respect to parking facilities, screening, height of building
and other facts which, in the discretion of the Board of Trustees,
it may deem necessary for the health, safety, convenience and general
welfare of the Village and its residents.
C.
Tilling the soil, truck gardening, nurseries and greenhouses,
provided that they are not used primarily for the growing of vegetables,
plants or flowers for sale, and provided that there is no display
of products and no advertising and provided that there is no power
plant and that any greenhouse heating plant is at least 20 feet distant
from each side lot line and also from the rear lot line.
D.
Accessory uses customarily incident to the above uses.
The term "accessory use," however, does not include a business or
any building or use not located on the same lot with the building
to which it is accessory.
(1)
A garage or group of garages for more than three motor
vehicles shall not be permitted as accessory use, but such garage
or garages need not be occupied by the motor vehicles owned by the
occupant of the premises to come within the designation of an "accessory
garage." Such garages may not, however, be occupied by any commercial
truck.
(2)
A "for sale" or "for rent" billboard, signboard or
advertising sign shall, in no case, be permitted as an accessory use;
however, two two-foot by two-foot directional signs, for an open house,
the wording of which is limited to "Open House," address and directional
arrow only, may be erected 1/2 hour before such event and maintained
until 1/2 hour after it ends. One sign shall be located on the premises
that is for sale or for rent, and the other shall be located suitably
within an unpaved area of the Village right-of-way.
[Amended 5-11-2009 by L.L. No. 1-2009; 2-8-2010 by L.L. No. 1-2010]

or damage to an adjoining owner or the general public shall, in no
case, be permitted as an accessory use.
