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