This chapter shall be known as the "Zoning Law
of the Town of Cobleskill."
Pursuant to the authority and power granted
by Chapter 36, Article 2, Section 10 of this consolidated law, to
regulate and restrict the height, number of stories and size of buildings
and other structures, the size of yards, courts, and open spaces,
the density of population and the location and use of buildings, structures,
and land for trade, industry, and residence or other purposes, and
to establish zones or districts in the Town of Cobleskill, the Town
Board does enact.
The zoning regulations and districts herein
set forth and as outlined upon said map are made in accordance with
a Comprehensive Plan for the purpose of promoting the public health,
safety, morals, convenience, order, prosperity, and general welfare
of the community. They have been designed to lessen congestion in
the streets, to secure safety from fire, panic and other dangers,
to provide adequate light and air, to prevent the overcrowding of
land to avoid undue concentration of population, to facilitate the
adequate provision of transportation, water, sewage, schools, parks,
and other public requirements. They have been made with reasonable
consideration, among other things, as to the character of each district
and its suitability for particular uses, and with a view of conserving
the value of buildings and encouraging the most appropriate use of
land throughout the Town of Cobleskill.
[Amended 1-8-1990 by L.L. No. 1-1990]
No buildings, structures or land shall hereafter
be used and no building, structure or part thereof shall be erected,
moved or changed in use or land changed in use, unless for a use expressly
permitted by and in conformity with the regulations herein specified
for the district in which it is located except as hereinafter provided.
