This chapter shall be known as and may be cited as the "Building Zone Law of the Incorporated Village of Roslyn Estates."

The zoning regulations and districts as herein established have been made in accordance with a Comprehensive Plan for the purpose of promoting health, safety, morals and general welfare in the Incorporated Village of Roslyn Estates. They have been designed to lessen congestion in the streets; to secure safety from fire, panic and other dangers; to provide adequate light and air; to prevent the overcrowding of land; to avoid undue concentration of population; and to facilitate the adequate provisions of transportation, water supply, sewage disposal, schools, parks and other public requirements. They have been made with reasonable consideration, among other things, to the character of the district and its peculiar suitability for particular uses, and with a view to conserving the value of buildings and encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout the Village.
