No building, structure, or land shall hereafter be used or occupied and no building or structure or part thereof shall hereafter be erected, moved, altered, demolished, reconstructed or enlarged except in conformance with the regulations herein specified for the district in which it is located.

No yard or lot existing at the time of the passage of this chapter shall be reduced in size or area below the minimum requirements set forth herein. Yards or lots created after the effective date of this chapter shall meet the minimum requirements set forth herein.
D. 
Notwithstanding the provisions of Town Law § 265-a, nothing contained herein shall prohibit the use of a lot of record in legal existence as of the date of enactment of this chapter, even if such lot or lots do not meet the minimum area and bulk requirements. [NOTE: This chapter is separate from any deed restrictions on a parcel of land.] Further, nothing contained herein shall prohibit the use of an undeveloped lot in a subdivision which is in legal existence as of the date of enactment of this chapter.

No off-street parking or loading space shall be so reduced in area that it does not meet the minimum requirements of this chapter.

Within each district, the regulations set forth by this chapter shall be considered minimum regulations and shall apply uniformly to each kind of building, structure or land.
H. 
Only those uses specifically identified as permitted principal uses, permitted accessory uses, permitted special use permit uses and permitted site plan review uses shall be permissible in their respective land use districts. All other uses are expressly prohibited unless granted a use variance by the Zoning Board of Appeals pursuant to Article X.
[Amended 4-3-2008 by L.L. No. 1-2008]
Before the construction, relocation, or alteration of any structure as to the outside dimensions and structure, a building permit shall be obtained. No site preparation for any building shall begin unless and until a building permit has been issued.
Unless otherwise specified, there shall be only one principal use and building per lot except as specified in the following instance. More than one principal use and building per lot is allowed if the minimum required lot area, lot width and all yard requirements are met for each.
On a corner lot, each street frontage shall be deemed a front street line, and the required yard along each such lot line shall be a required front yard. The Code Enforcement Officer, in consultation with the owner, shall decide which of the remaining yards shall be the required side yard and the required rear yard.
The ability to undertake a land use activity pursuant to this chapter does not repeal or eliminate the jurisdiction of other local, regional, state, or federal agencies. Those undertaking land use activities are advised that approvals and/or permits may be required from said agencies.
