The intent of these provisions is to encourage
commercial enterprise in an area of Town that can adequately provide
for a high volume of automobile traffic and to facilitate convenient
access, minimize traffic congestion, reduce vehicle conflict points,
and reduce visual clutter for those commercial uses. Major Arterial
District includes all those areas along Transit Road (NYS Route 78)
from Wehrle Drive to Swormville.
[Amended 6-26-2013 by L.L. No. 2-2013]

(3) Telecommunications towers (Chapter
173 of the Code of the Town of Clarence).
(4) Light manufacturing operations.
(5) Lumber and building supply operations.

Parking may occur within the side or rear setbacks
of the principal building. Parking within required setback areas must
be a minimum of five feet from any property line. Adjacent parking
lots and rear service lanes of lots shall have internal vehicular
access. There shall be a minimum forty-five-foot greenbelt from any
