Re: Proposed Recreational Uses in the Light Industrial (L1) Zoning District
Date: August 3, 2006
In December of 2003, a survey of LI properties was conducted to respond to assertions
from the business community that there was an insufficient supply of LI zoned property
to meet the demand. The report resulted in the rezoning of several L10 zoned parcels
to L1.
Several weeks ago the Planning Board was presented with a concept plan from an
applicant proposing a destination indoor recreation facility in the LI zoning district north
of County Road ~8 and west of Cox's Lane. The Planning Board has discussed the
proposal at length and makes the following observations concerning the use.
As determined in the above referenced report, the number and area of LI zoned parcels
for permitted commercial uses is currently inadequate to meet the supply. The Planning
Board feels that an indoor recreational facility is not a compatible use within the area
around the Town landfill. Therefore, the Planning Board does not support the use for
this location within the LI zoning district.
However, the Planning Board strongly supports recreational uses and encourages that
the Planning and Zoning Committee consider proposing to add the following recreational
uses in the HB (Hamlet Business), B (Business) and Limited Business (LB) zoning
districts.
1. Commercial sports and recreation facilities.
2. Health club and gymnasium.
