It has been determined that recreational activities and tourism are major factors in the composition of the Village of Sag Harbor's economic base. The RM Resort Motel District seeks to further encourage these factors by providing potential sites for resort motels which accommodate short-term vacationers and transient travelers. It is anticipated that, with a reasonable number of resort motel rooms clustered in close proximity to each other and to the Village business center and waterfront, there would be an opportunity to develop off-season mini conferences and business seminars. Recognizing the impact of the resort motel use's intensity in this district, it shall be located only on sites easily accessible to supporting facilities and served by both public water and sewerage systems. It is not intended that the resort motel use be converted into multiple dwellings for long-term residents. The Resort Motel District shall promote the objectives of this article and of § 300-1.3, Declaration of purpose, and the site plan shall be coordinated with the surrounding land uses and enhance the Village business center and waterfront.
