This chapter shall be referred to as the "Town of Guilderland
Zoning and Land Use Law."
This chapter is enacted by the Town of Guilderland pursuant
to NYS Town Law Article 16, and shall take effect upon filing with
the Secretary of State. If any part of this chapter is declared to
be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall
not affect or impair the validity of this chapter as a whole, or any
other part of this chapter.
A.
This chapter encourages appropriate and sustainable development;
promotes public health, safety, convenience and general welfare; designates
and regulates the location and use of buildings, structures and land
for residential, agricultural, commercial, and industrial uses in
appropriate places and for those purposes divides the Town into districts
of such number, shape and area as may be deemed best suited to carry
out these regulations and provide for their enforcement. The objectives
of this chapter are to: provide adequate open space for light and
air; provide desired levels of population density; secure safety from
fire, flood, panic and other dangers; provide effective utilization
of land; provide adequate community and public utility facilities;
provide workable relationships of land uses to the transportation
system; prevent congestion, preserve the natural beauty and ecology
of watercourses, bodies of water, wetlands and natural areas of value
to the community; and conserve and stabilize the value of property.
B.
The regulations contained in this chapter have been made in accordance
with the Comprehensive Plan and neighborhood studies, and with reasonable
consideration of the character of each district and its suitability
for particular uses.
