53 <br />received indicating that uses permitted in an AS <br />zoning district can be serviced in this location. <br />Concern over uses permitted in the AS district, <br />particularly warehousing, was expressed by the <br />owner and tenant of the White Cross-School. There <br />was also concern about additional commercial uses <br />in the White Cross Activity Node. <br />Comments were also received regarding <br />Environmental Health approval of a septic system <br />on the proposed zoning lot for the used furniture <br />store on the .11 -acre NC -2 zoning lot at the <br />intersection. The Zoning Ordinance does not <br />provide for installation of a septic system on <br />property lot zoned for the use served by the <br />septic system. Since the furniture store located <br />on the NC -2 zoning district would not be <br />permitted in the AR or AS zoning districts, then <br />the installation of the septic system for the <br />furniture store in the AR or AS district is in <br />violation of the Zoning Ordinance. <br />Typically, initial installation of a septic <br />system is triggered by new development, and <br />requires associated approval of- a building <br />permit. During the building permit review <br />process, the location of the proposed septic <br />system would then be reviewed by the Planning <br />Staff for compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. <br />In this case, no building permit,'was needed, thus <br />there was no mechanism to trigger Planning Staff <br />review prior to issuance of the Improvements <br />Permit by Environmental Health. <br />The Board of Commissioners directed that the. <br />issues raised by the installation of the septic <br />system be addressed by the Planning Board and <br />Board of Health, and that the list of uses <br />allowed in the AS district be reviewed by the <br />Planning Board. <br />A report will be presented to the Board of Health <br />at its January meeting. Comments will be referred <br />to the Planning Board at its February meeting. <br />Recommendations of both Boards can then be <br />presented to the Board of Commissioners. <br />The Planning Staff recommends denial of the <br />rezoning per the findings (an attachment to these <br />minutes on pages )• <br />The Planning Staff also recommends: <br />
