§ 70-3.16. Purpose.

A Planned Waterfront Residential Community (PWRC) is established to promote and protect the public health, safety, property values and general welfare of the Town of North Hempstead, and to create the flexibility which is necessary to achieve environmentally sensitive, economically beneficial and socially desirable development on waterfront properties. The general comprehensive planning goals for this district are to:

A. 

Promote the most appropriate, desirable, and suitable use of land on sites which are unique due to size and waterfront location, and to preserve open space consistent with orderly development of a site.

B. 

Regulate development in such a way as to help preserve the Town of North Hempstead's limited water supply and its surface waters and other aquatic and natural habitat.

C. 

Allow for reasonable economic uses of land, consistent with the planning goals for this district.

D. 

Encourage innovation and flexibility in the design and development of waterfront property for residential use, while ensuring that potential environmental impacts and other adverse impacts are minimized.
