This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Zoning
Local Law of the Village of Manchester."
For the purpose of promoting the health, safety and general
welfare of the people of the Village of Manchester, this Zoning Local
Law is adopted pursuant to Article 7 of the Village Law of the State
of New York. Its purpose is to regulate and restrict the height, number
of stories and size of buildings and other structures; the percentage
of lot area that may be occupied; the size of yards, courts and other
open space; the density of population and the location and use of
buildings, structures and land for business, industry, agriculture,
residence or other purposes. Such Zoning Local Law and Zoning Map,
which is a part of said local law, are designed to lessen congestion
in the streets; to secure safety from fire and other dangers; to provide
adequate light and air; to provide for solar access and the implementation
of solar energy systems; to prevent the overcrowding of land and to
avoid undue concentration of population; to facilitate the efficient
and adequate provision of public facilities and services; and to provide
the maximum protection to residential areas from the encroachment
of adverse environmental influences. Such Zoning Local Law and Zoning
Map were made after reasonable consideration of, among other things,
the character of the Village and its peculiar suitability for particular
uses and with a view to conserving property values and natural resources
and encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout the Village.
In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this
chapter shall be held to be the minimum standards and requirements
for the protection of the public health, safety and general welfare.
Whenever the requirements of this chapter are at variance with
the requirements of any other lawfully adopted rules, regulations,
ordinances or laws, the most restrictive or those imposing the higher
standards shall govern.
Prior to any action by a municipal board or official on any
application made in accordance with the provisions of this chapter,
the Village shall satisfy the requirements of the State Environmental
Quality Review (SEQR) regulations.
If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase
of this chapter is declared by any court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid or unconstitutional, it is hereby declared that no other
provision of this chapter shall be affected thereby.
