Convert group home to 2 family residence.

CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
FINDINGS:
The Zoning Board of Appeals granted the Finding based on the materials and graphics submitted with the application.
The Findings of the Board under Section 9.3 for the change from a non-conforming residential rooming house to a non-conforming two
family were as follows:
1. The Board found that the change would not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconforming
use.
2. The Board found that the building would not extend any closer to any front, side, or rear property boundary than the current zoning
allows.
3. The Board also determined that the change would not create any new violation of other zoning provisions; and does not involve a sign.
