the authority conferred by Article 16 of the Town Law and Section
10 of the Municipal Home Rule Law of New York State.
This chapter is officially titled as "The Zoning
Law of the Town of Clarence, New York," and shall be known as the
"Zoning Law." The official map designating the various zoning districts
shall be titled, "Town of Clarence, New York, Official Zoning Map,"
and shall be known as the "Zoning Map" or "Official Zoning Map."
This chapter governs the development and use
of all land and structures within the corporate limits of the Town
of Clarence, New York, said territory being indicated on the Official

chapter.
If any section or specific provision or standard
of this chapter or any zoning district boundary that may exist in
the future is found by a court to be invalid for any reason, the decision
of the court shall not affect the validity of any other section, provision,

in question. The other portions of these regulations not affected
by the decision of the court shall remain in full force and effect.
This chapter shall become effective upon the
date of adoption by the Clarence Town Board. Upon such date, this
