(1)Â
Purposes and considerations.
(a)Â
In the execution of this section it is recognized that there
are some uses which, due to their very nature, have serious objectionable
characteristics. The objectionable characteristics of these uses are
further heightened by their concentration in any one area, thereby
having deleterious effects on adjacent areas. Special regulation of
these uses is necessary to ensure that these adverse effects will
not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of the surrounding
neighborhoods or land uses.
(b)Â
It is further declared that the location of these uses in regard
to areas where our youth may regularly assemble and the general atmosphere
encompassing their operation is of great concern to the Incorporated
Village of New Hyde Park.
(c)Â
These special regulations are itemized in this section to accomplish
the primary purposes of preventing a concentration of these uses in
any one area and restricting their accessibility to minors.
