§ 95-44.2 Special Hazard Districts.
[Added 4-7-1993 by L.L. No. 1-1993]
A.
Intent.
(1)
It is the intent in S-H (Special Hazard) Districts to permit those uses enumerated and other uses which may have objectional features upon the issuance of a special use permit by the Town Board and the obtaining of site plan approval by the Planning Board.
(2)
The Town Board recognizes that the uses allowed by this section are or may be reasonably necessary to support our modern and complex society; however, these uses pose special problems, not only in their relationship to their site development, but also in relation to their location within the Town. The indiscriminate location of such uses presents the possibility of severe and adverse effects on surrounding land uses and each use presents its own special problems and requires its own special approach.
(3)
Accordingly, the Town Board, in providing for the protection of the health, welfare and morals of the citizens of the Town of Schroeppel, has established this use district in order to be able to oversee and administer each such proposed use and the parcel upon which it is proposed to be located.

It shall also include medical waste incineration facilities, soil cleaning facilities which remove chemicals, petroleum products, nuclear wastes, lead, paints or organic compounds.

Location with respect to other districts and areas. A S-H District shall not be allowed within or abutting an existing residential district, within 750 feet from existing residential development, regardless of such development's district classification, or within a community resource area or a significant environmental area as such areas are now or hereafter determined by the Planning Board.
