A.
A Comprehensive Zoning Plan is hereby established
for the area of the Town of Concord outside the Village of Springville
by dividing the territory thereof into certain districts and prescribing
regulations for buildings or other structures and the use of land
therein. The Comprehensive Zoning Plan, set forth in the text and
map which constitute this chapter, is adopted in order to promote
and protect public health, safety, comfort, convenience, prosperity
and other aspects of the general welfare. These general goals include,
among others, the following specific purposes: to provide adequate
light, air and convenience of access; to prevent undue concentration
of population and overcrowding of land; to lessen congestion in the
streets or roads; to secure safety from fire, flood, panic and other
dangers; to enhance the environment by the conservation of certain
open land or wetland areas with certain desirable or unique characteristics
worthy of preservation; to facilitate the adequate provision of transportation,
parks, schools and other public requirements, including the transmission
of power; and to preserve and promote the attractiveness of the Town
of Concord.
B.
It is also the intent of the Comprehensive Zoning
Plan hereby established to recognize those developmental, conservation
and preservation plans or any portions thereof as promulgated by the
federal government, the governments of the State of New York and the
County of Erie, official regional bodies and public authorities that
are not inconsistent or incompatible with the Master Plan 2000 of
the Town of Concord.
C.
The Comprehensive Zoning Plan hereby established has
been formulated with reasonable consideration, among other things,
as to the characteristics of each district and its particular uses
and with a view to conserving the value of buildings and encouraging
the most appropriate use of land in the most desirable manner.
D.
The Master Plan 2000 of the Town of Concord is hereby
deemed to be the Comprehensive Plan of the Town of Concord pursuant
to § 272-a of the Town Law. The Concord Town Planning Board
and the Concord Town Board shall continue to study and revise the
Comprehensive Plan of the Town of Concord.
