Lindenhurst City Zoning Code

Uses.

Any and all of the foregoing uses are permitted, subject to the following provisions:

The foregoing permitted uses shall not be construed to include a junkyard, a place for indoor or outdoor storage of any salvage, wastepaper, wood, metal, dismantled automobiles, or any and all other materials, and any operation for the reclamation, reprocessing or reworking of any salvage or used material of any description, abattoirs, acetylene manufacture, ammonia, bleaching-powder or chlorine manufacture, an arsenal, asphalt manufacture, refining, mixing or treating, boiler making, brewing or distilling liquors, candle manufacture, celluloid manufacture, coke ovens, a crematory, creosote treatment or manufacture, disinfectant manufacture, the distillation of coal or wood, dyestuff manufacture, extermination and insect-poison manufacture, emery cloth and sandpaper manufacture, fat rendering, fertilizer manufacture, glue, size or gelatine manufacture, fireworks or explosives manufacture or storage, lime, cement or plaster of paris manufacture, match manufacture, oilcloth or linoleum manufacture, oiled or rubber goods manufacture, ore reduction, paint, oil, shellac, turpentine or varnish manufacture, refining and/or storage of any petroleum, gasoline, natural gas or chemical products or any other flammable material stored in tanks or any other container, plating works, potash works, printing ink manufacture, pyroxylin manufacture, rubber manufacture or treatment, smelters, soap manufacture, soda and compound, stockyards, sulphuric nitric or hydrochloric acid manufacture, tallow, grease or lard manufacture or refining, tanning, curing or storage of leather, rawhides or skins, tar distillation or manufacture, vinegar manufacture, tar roofing and waterproofing manufacture, yeast plant, junkyards or yards for the storage of damaged trucks or automobiles, scrap metal or glass, the production and/or manufacture of dairy products, motels, hotels, apartments, residential dwellings or any other place of human habitation.

In the execution of this chapter, 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.

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

These special regulations are itemized in this section to accomplish the primary purposes of preventing a concentration of these uses in any one area and restricting their accessibility to minors.

Any of the above uses shall not be located within a five-hundred-foot radius of any area zoned for residential use.

Any of the above uses shall not be located within a one-half-mile radius of another such use.

Any of the above uses shall not be located within a five-hundred-foot radius of any school, church or other place of religious worship, park, playground or playing field.

That the proposed use will not be contrary to the public interest or injurious to nearby properties and that the spirit and intent of this chapter will be observed.

That the establishment of an additional use of this type in the area will not be contrary to any program of neighborhood conservation or improvement, either residential or nonresidential; and

That 51% or more of the property owners within the restricted area, as defined in Subsection B(1) of this section, have signed a petition stating that they have no objection to the establishment of one of the uses defined above.
