[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees
of the Village of Lynbrook as Ch. 2, Art II, of the 1967 Code of Ordinances.
Amendments noted where applicable.]
A.
The Board of Trustees hereby finds:
(1)
That excessive similarity, dissimilarity or inappropriateness
of design in the exterior appearance of all buildings and structures,
including signs and commercial parking lots, of any nature whatsoever,
wherever erected in the Village, as designated and defined by the
zoning regulations[1] of the Village, in relation to the prevailing appearance
of buildings in the vicinity thereof, would adversely affect the desirability
of the immediate area and neighboring areas for residential purposes.
[Amended 7-12-1976 by L.L. No. 10-1976]
(2)
That inappropriateness or excessive dissimilarity
or design in the exterior appearance of buildings and signs in such
residence districts in relation to the characteristics of design generally
prevailing in the Village would discourage the most appropriate use
of land throughout the Village.
[Amended 7-12-1976 by L.L. No. 10-1976]
(3)
That such excessive similarity, dissimilarity or inappropriateness
would impair the benefits of occupancy of existing residential property,
impair the stability and value of both improved and unimproved real
property, produce degeneration of residential property with attendant
deterioration of conditions affecting the health, safety and morals
of the inhabitants of the Village and destroy a proper relationship
between the taxable value of real property and the cost of municipal
services provided therefor.
B.
Exterior design review. The Board also finds that
it is appropriate to preserve and promote the character and appearance
of the Village through a procedure for exterior design review. Buildings
and their components that are visually offensive or inappropriate
due to poor exterior design, quality or materials mar the appearance
of the Village and impair the use, enjoyment and desirability and
reduce the values of properties. In addition, such buildings and structures
are detrimental to the character of the neighborhoods and prevent
the most appropriate development and utilization of land and therefore
adversely affect the functioning, economic stability, prosperity,
health, safety and general welfare of the entire community. The purpose
of exterior design review is also to ensure that the aesthetic quality
of such design and materials conforms to the character of the neighborhood.

[Amended 7-12-1976 by L.L. No. 10-1976]
