Ms. Goodermote stated the intended use was for a day nursery care center, which is not a permitted use in the B-2 zone, for approximately 125 children. The Board questioned the parking area being close to the play area and the possibility of traffic congestion, along with the other requirements of Sec. 304.00 to determine if this could be included as an additional permitted use under the zoning classification. There was further discussion concerning making the project a special exception or an additional permitted use. Mr. Troian said that good day care centers were needed in the area.

The City Attorney stated the initial step would be to submit an application for rezoning, which would be heard by the Zoning and Planning Board and if approved they would recommend this to the City Council. If variances were requested the public hearing required could be held at the same time as the preliminary site plan review, as long as due public notice is given. The Board discussed further the proposed use as a subdivision or as condominiums. Mr. Dan Holahan stated that condominiums are not a subdivision since there is no division of land.
