A definition for Camp and Retreat Center would be added to the definition section of the ordinance. BACKGROUND: Camp /Retreat Centers are not specifically addressed in the Zoning Ordinance. This amendment would provide specific standards and set up a Camp /Retreat Center as a Class B Special Use. If a new Camp /Retreat Center were proposed under the existing ordinance, it would be classified as non - profit recreation or a community center, both of which are classified as Class B special uses. Existing camps or retreat centers would not be affected by the amendment unless they were proposing to expand. At the time of proposed expansion a Class B Special Use Permit would have to be obtained. The proposed amendment was presented for public hearing on December 11, 1990. There were no comments. The Planning Board considered the proposed amendments on January 28, 1991 and recommended approval. RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval as per the Planning Board recommendation.
