§ 322-53. Declaration of policy and purposes.
| |||||||
A. The Town Board finds that the age structure of the Town of Smithtown's population is undergoing significant changes. The population is increasing, but household size is decreasing. The median age is increasing as the school-aged population declines. As a result of these demographic changes, the housing needs of the Town's residents have expanded beyond that available within the Town. In recognition of this need and demand for alternative types of owner-occupied housing, for the permanent residents of the Town of Smithtown the R-6 Residential District is hereby established.
| |||||||
B. The purposes of the R-6 District are to:
| |||||||
(1) Provide an alternative type of permanent, owner-occupied housing.
| |||||||
(2) Protect the environment and preserve open space.
| |||||||
(3) Facilitate the adequate and economical provision of streets and utilities.
| |||||||
(4) Promote quality in design and construction.
| |||||||
§ 322-54. Permitted and prohibited uses.
| |||||||
A. Within the R-6 District, the following uses and structures shall be permitted:
| |||||||
