§ 70-201.1. Legislative findings and intent.

A. 

In the adoption of this article, it is recognized that there are some uses which, due to their very nature, have serious objectionable characteristics. The objectionable characteristics of these uses are further heightened by their concentration in any one area, thereby having deleterious effects on adjacent areas. Special regulation of these uses is necessary to ensure that these adverse effects will not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of the surrounding neighborhoods or land uses.

B. 

It is further declared that the location of these uses in regard to areas where youth may regularly assemble and the general atmosphere encompassing their operation is of great concern to the Town of North Hempstead.

C. 

These special regulations are itemized in this article to accomplish the primary purposes of preventing a concentration of these uses in any one area, preventing adverse secondary impacts of such uses on surrounding neighborhoods and restricting their accessibility to minors.
