That property is zoned M-3 General Industrial. It was a formal gentleman’s club that is going to be turned into a rescue feline facility. Mr. Rogers asked if the Applicant can speak to the uses that were approved in the use variance so that the Board is aware. Ms. Moriarty explained that the uses approved are similar services as to what is already being provided, some veterinary services, senior cat housing. The downstairs would be used for retail or a cat café facility. Mr. Rogers added that typically, when a project comes to the Planning Board for change of use and site plan approval, the Planning Board typically uses an existing survey, especially if there is already a building footprint. The Board then takes that survey and asks the Applicant to show the parking layout so that the Board is aware of how much parking is on the proposed site. The Applicant provided a sketch of the survey with parking superimposed over it, which shows there are no plans for additional parking or removal of parking spaces Town Engineer Camie Jarrell asked are any of the spaces marked as handicap? The Applicant responded that right now, they are not, but once it is done, the ones in front will be marked as such. 4
