[Amended 4-6-1998 by L.L. No. 2-1998]
The Town of Clifton Park recognizes the need
and desirability of maintaining suitable lands in the Town of Clifton
Park for the recreational, institutional and public assembly needs
of its residents. It is the policy of the Town of Clifton Park to
provide appropriate locations for public assembly, including by way
of example, churches or other places of worship, a publicly financed
senior citizen center, a youth center, general meeting space, publicly
financed senior citizen housing, governmental and public school facilities
and other related uses and facilities. It is also the policy of the
Town of Clifton Park to foster and encourage active and passive recreational
uses and facilities. To that end, the Town Board of the Town of Clifton
Park, in furtherance of the relevant provisions of the Master Plan
of the Town of Clifton Park related thereto, hereby creates a new
zoning district to be known as the "Public/Institutional/Recreational
District PIR" and imposes upon such zoning district the following
area and use restrictions. The creation of this district serves to
provide for and, in so doing, preserve for the residents of the Town
of Clifton Park certain lands for public, institutional and recreational
use. It is the intent of the Town to ensure the existence of lands
located within the Town of Clifton Park dedicated to the enjoyment
of its residents.
This zoning district shall encompass those portions
of the Town of Clifton Park as shown on the Official Zoning Map, as
amended, as "public/institutional/recreational."
Nothing contained in this article shall prohibit
the erection of more than one establishment per parcel. The site plan
is subject to approval by the Planning Board. The minimum land area
for consideration as a group of establishments shall be five acres.
