This chapter shall be known and may be cited
as the "Town of Phelps Zoning Ordinance."
The intent of this chapter is to establish comprehensive
controls for the development of land in the Town of Phelps, based
on the Master Plan for the Town and enacted in order to promote and
protect health, safety, comfort, convenience and the general welfare
of the people.
Such regulations shall be made in accordance
with the Master Plan and designed to lessen congestion in the streets;
to secure safety from fires, flood, panic and other dangers; to promote
health and general welfare; to provide adequate light and air; to
prevent overcrowding of land; to avoid undue concentration of the
public; and to facilitate the provisions of transportation, water,
sewage, schools, parks and other public requirements. Such regulations
shall be made with reasonable consideration, among other things, as
to the characteristics of the district and its peculiarities for particular
uses and with a view to conserving the value of buildings and encouraging
the most appropriate use of land throughout the municipality.
