For the purposes of this chapter, the Village of Malverne is
hereby divided into six districts, which shall be designated as follows:
A.
The boundaries of said districts shall be as shown upon the map on
file in the Village Office, which shall be designated as the "Building
Zone Map of the Village of Malverne, Nassau County, New York." Said
map and all notations, references and other things shown thereon shall
be as much a part of this chapter as if the matters and things shown
by said map were all fully described herein.
B.
The boundaries between districts are, unless otherwise indicated,
either the center lines of streets or railroad rights-of-way or such
lines extended or lines parallel thereto. Where figures are shown
on the Zoning Map between a street and district boundary line, they
indicate that the district boundary line runs parallel to the street
line at a distance therefrom equivalent to the number of feet so indicated.
When the location of a district boundary is not otherwise determined,
it shall be determined by the scale of the map measured from a given
line. Where the street layout actually on the ground varies from the
street layout as shown on the Building Zone Map, the designation shown
on the mapped street shall apply in such a way as to carry out the
intent and the purposes of this chapter for the particular area in
question.
C.
Where a district boundary line divides a lot held in single ownership
at the time of the passage of this chapter, the Zoning Board of Appeals,
as hereinafter provided, may permit the less restricted use to extend
to the whole or any part of such lot.
In the Residence A District, the following regulations, and
those regulations set forth in the Schedule of Regulations,[1] shall apply:
A.

Adult uses.
(1)
Intent. The Board of Trustees recognizes that there are some
uses which, due to their very nature, have serious objectionable characteristics.
These objectionable characteristics are heightened by their concentration
in any one area, thereby having deleterious effects on adjacent areas.
Special regulation of these uses is necessary to prevent their adverse
effects. The Board of Trustees further finds that the location of
these uses in regard to areas where our youth may regularly assemble
and the general atmosphere of their operation are of great concern
to the Village of Malverne. Special regulations are itemized in this
subsection to accomplish the primary purposes of preventing the deleterious
effects of adult uses.
