2022-09ZA - A commission initiated zoning amendment to Section 11.2 Definitions, adding the definition: “Shelters”
Ms. Smith explained that after a meeting between staff and Mr. Barbettini it was determined that the best course of action may be to add the definition, “Houses of Worship” and include
“warming shelters” under the list of uses allowed within houses of worship. “Houses of Worship” is already listed under multiple districts, including B-3, the district where Taking
it to the Streets is located. Additionally, warming shelters have their own designation under the Building Code and would need to follow all regulations put forth by the Town’s Building
Official.
Mr. Barbettini explained to the commissioners the services he provides to the community through his warming station and other services.
Mr. Meyer agreed that Houses of Worship would be a better option than defining warming station.
