Purpose and findings: The purpose of the adoption of the revised Zoning Map is to meet the objectives of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Rockville Centre in rezoning a portion of the Business A District with the creation of two new districts, Business C and Business C2, and with the expansion of an existing district, Residence B. In adopting the revised Zoning Map, the Board of Trustees finds that the rezoning of this section of the Village is in accordance with its recodification project. The Board of Trustees further finds that the existing uses in the designated areas of zone change shall remain legal. The Board of Trustees further finds that any use for which a building permit has been issued as of the date of the adoption and filing of this legislation shall remain legal. The Board of Trustees further finds that any change or modification to existing uses must be in conformity with the regulations of the new zones, as reflected in the amendments to the Code and in the revised Zoning Map.
