Only such scientific and/or research laboratory
use, offices for executive and administrative purposes and municipal
building uses shall be permitted in the Business C District as may
be approved by the Village of Lake Success Board of Trustees upon
recommendation of the Planning Board as being in compliance with the
development policy of the Village as set forth below:

values in the Village.
B. The character of existing development in the Village.
C. The physical characteristics of the terrain of the
Village and the suitability of the land of the Village for various
uses.
D. 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;
(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, which comply with the performance standards and regulations
hereinafter set forth.
All other uses are hereby prohibited in the Business C District, it being the purpose of this Article to exclude from such district all residential uses and all industrial, business and other uses, except those specified in §
