A. 
Purpose. The purpose of this district is to provide suitable areas for various nonretail service-oriented uses that are easily accessible to the public.

The Town Board may on its own motion, or in response to an application, amend the Zoning Map to establish a Restricted Business (RB) District. In reaching its decision, the Town Board shall consider this statement of purpose, the general criteria set forth in this chapter and the current Comprehensive Plan for the Town.
