This chapter shall be known and may be cited
as a "Local Law Relating to Zoning for the Village of Ballston Spa."
The zoning law and zoning districts established
herein, set forth and as outlined upon the Zoning Map,[1] are made in accordance with a comprehensive plan for the
purpose of promoting the public health, safety, morals and the general
welfare of the community. They have been designed to lessen congestion
in the streets, to secure safety from fire, flood, panic and other
dangers, to provide adequate light and air, to prevent the overcrowding
of land, to avoid undue concentration of population and to facilitate
the adequate provision of transportation, parks and other public requirements.
They have been made with reasonable consideration, among other things,
as to the character of each district and its peculiar suitability
for particular uses and with a view to conserving the value of buildings
and encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout the Village
of Ballston Spa.
