[Added 10-12-2004 by L.L. No. 37-2004]
The intent of the Industrial C (Ind C) Zoning Use District is

campuses in the area between Enterprise Park and the terminus of the

and minimize views of development from the expressway and arterial
roads.
In the Ind C Zoning Use District, no building, structure, or
premises shall be used or arranged or designed to be used, and no

A.
No buildings shall be erected nor any lot or land area utilized unless
in conformity with the Zoning Schedule[1] incorporated into this chapter by reference and made a
part hereof with the same force and effect as if such requirements
were herein set forth in full as specified in said schedule, except
as may be hereafter specifically modified.
[1]
Editor's Note: The Zoning Schedule is included as an attachment to this chapter.
B.
In order to foster environmental conservation as well as preservation
of the Town's scenic and rural quality, properties shall provide attractively
landscaped contiguous open space areas, equal to at least 20% of the
lot area, that shield views of the development from arterial roads
and the Long Island Expressway. Preference is given to preservation
of existing habitat (such as meadows or forests) rather than clearance
and creation of new habitat. The open space should serve to provide
on-site stormwater management.

or seasonal parking overflow areas of the parking lot shall be surfaced
with porous pavement or gravel.
(b)
Landscaped areas of the parking lot shall be sited, planted,
and graded in a manner to provide infiltration and detention of runoff
from paved areas.
