BACKGROUND: Sections S42 through S47 of the Permitted Use Table of the Zoning Ordinance pertain to Retail Trade. Sections 842 through S44 refer to "Retail Trade, Sales, Rental of Conven.Lence Goods, Merchandise, and Equipment. . . " broken down to low, medium, and high traffic impact. Sections S45 through S47 refer to "Retail Trade, Sales and Rental of Durable Goods, Merchandise and Equipment. . . " broken down to low, medium, and high traffic impact. If the words "Durable Goods" were added to Sections S42 through S44,. then Sections S45 through S47 could be deleted. The amendment would simplify and clarify the Retail Trade Section of the Ordinance. There is also a typographical error in Section S43 of the Ordinance. Medium traffic generation should read 200-800 trips/day instead of 200-300 trips/day. The proposed text amendments were considered at the February 27, 1989 Public Hearing. There were no comments at that meeting. The Planning Board considered the proposed amendment on April 11, 1989, and recommended approval.
