Standards relating to nonconforming uses

In addition to the standards of § 185-73, when reviewing a special use permit application for the change in a nonconforming use to another nonconforming use, or for the extension, addition to or enlargement of a nonconforming use, the Zoning Board of Review shall require that the applicant demonstrate each of the following:

• A. That it will not result in the creation of or increase in any undesirable impacts related to the use, such as excessive noise, traffic and waste generation.
• B. That the general visual appearance of the nonconforming use shall not be altered in a way so as to heighten or make more apparent its nonconformity and, where possible, shall be improved so as to be more consistent with the surrounding area.
• C. That it will not have a negative impact on the natural environment or on any historic or cultural resource.
• D. That the resulting nonconforming use will be a beneficial use to the community.
