The prevention and reduction of traffic congestion, so as to promote efficient and safe circulation of vehicles and pedestrians.
The maximum protection of agricultural and residential areas.
The enhancement of the appearance of the Town of Massena as a whole.

This chapter is not intended to interfere with, abrogate, or annul any other law, rule or regulation, statute or provision of law. Where any of the provisions of these regulations impose restrictions different from any other law, rule or regulation or other provision of law, whichever provisions are more restrictive or impose higher standards shall control. This chapter, however, shall repeal and replace in its entirety the Zoning Regulations approved by the Town Board on April 8, 1987, including all amendments thereto preceding the enactment of this chapter as local law.

This chapter shall be effective immediately upon enactment. The preexisting Town of Massena Zoning Ordinance is hereby repealed, in addition to the repeal of any other Town ordinances or resolutions or parts thereof that were adopted prior to this chapter that are clearly in direct conflict with this chapter.
