• 49 SUMMARY OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT: It is proposed that definitions pertaining to buildings be deleted, and replaced with definitions pertaining to • structures. All buildings are structures, but not all structures are buildings (swimming pools, for example) . There is also a definition proposed for multiple use, which would include two or more uses on a single lot, in one or more structures. The proposal also includes amendment Article 6.3 Regulation of Principle Uses and Structures. The proposed revision • breaks Article 6.3 into two (2) subsections: 6.3.1 Principle Uses 6.3.2 Principle Structures • 1) Residential 2) Non-Residential Article 6.3. 1 (Principle Uses) would allow by right, a • non-residential multiple use (i.e. shopping center) on a parcel less than two acres in size, (subject to all applicable dimensional requirements) . Multiple uses on • more than two acres would require approval of a Planned Development. • Article 6.3.2(1) (Principle Uses - Residential) is essentially the same as the existing Article 6.3, in a more clear format. Article 6.3.2(2) (Principle Uses - Non-Residential) would permit more than one principle structure/ building • only on a non-residential zoning lot less than two acres in size. The changes would allow greater flexibility in commercial development on lots less than two acres in size, while requiring a public hearing if more than one structure or use is proposed on a lot greater than two acres in size. The two-acre limit is consistent with the definition of "major development projects" used by the State in considering requirements of environmental documentation.
