A.
Purpose. The purpose of this district is to provide

and low noise characteristics. 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.
