Referral to Planning Board -RM-2 Regulations: Accessory Use
Regulations to Permit a Limited Number of Commercial Accessory Uses
in an Apartment Building Adjacent to a Public Baywalk to be Open to the
Public.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Forward the proposed ordinance to Planning Board for its review and recommendation.
SUMMARY
At the May 16, 2012 meeting, the Land Use and Development Committee had a
discussion related to the accessory uses in the RM-2 district that explored introducing
restrictions that are found elsewhere in the Land Development Regulations, primarily in
the Home Based Business Office ordinance. The LUDC recommended that such an
ordinance be referred to the Planning Board for its input and recommendation.
An office use on the ground floor of an apartment building in the RM-2 zoning district that
was subject to the above restrictions would most likely have minimal impact upon the
surrounding residential neighborhood. However, in an abundance of caution, staff would
suggest that the proposal also include the requirement for Conditional Use approval by
the Planning Board, to ensure compliance with the above conditions, and recourse if
there wer to be problems with the operation of the office in future.
