The following special-uses are permitted upon approval by the Board, in accordance with Article 9 and the following conditions are in addition to those set forth in Article 9.

(a) Boarding

The Board may permit that up to two rooms may be rented with or without meals within any dwelling unit provided more than fifty percent (50%) of the habitable space is occupied by the family occupying the dwelling unit, and provided no more than one person may occupy any one of said rooms.

(b) Accessory Manufacturing

Within C Zones, manufacturing, compounding, processing, catering, cleaning, laundering, plumbing, or treatment of products and similar uses which are clearly incidental and essential to a retail use may be permitted by the Board, provided such uses, operations or products shall not be objectionable due to odor, dust, smoke, noise, vibration or other similar causes.

(c) Change in Nonconforming Use

(1) I and C Zones: Within any such zone, a nonconforming use may be changed to a different nonconforming use by special permit. In considering an application for a special-use permit to change to a different nonconforming use, the Board shall find that the new use will be less nonconforming and less disruptive of the neighborhood land use pattern. A nonconforming use changed to a different nonconforming use by a special-use permit may not be changed to another nonconforming use without the granting of another special-use permit.

(2) A, R and O-S Zones: Within any such zone, a nonconforming use may be changed to a different use which is allowed by special-use permit in that zone. In considering the application, the Board shall consider any conditions required for the granting of that special-use permit.

(d) Parking in R Zones

Off-street automobile parking lots may be established by special-use permit to support off-street parking requirements of residential uses in areas where the Board finds that there is a need for such additional facilities or where required off-street parking cannot be satisfied on the lot in which such residential uses are located. Such lots shall be developed and maintained as required by Article 8 of this Ordinance, and subject to such further conditions as may be imposed by the Board.

(e) Off-site Parking

The Board may permit off-street parking on other off-site lots in any district provided that such off-site parking is reasonably and safely accessible from the principal use, either by pedestrians or other means such as tram and/or shuttle service.

(f) Shared Parking

The Board may allow shared parking, provided that (1) the type of structures or uses indicate that the period of usage of such structures or use will not be simultaneous. (e.g. a church with Sunday services together with a business that is closed on Sundays), and (2) neither use may be a residential use.

(g) Maximum Lot Coverage

The Board may allow an additional 10% lot coverage above the maximum lot coverage specified in this Ordinance, if, and only if, parking is provided in accordance with Article 8 and the use of the building is in conformance with Article 3.

(h) Maximum Height in R-Zones

The Board may, by special use pen-nit, allow an increase in the maximum height to forty (40) feet, provided that the use of building is in conformance with Article 3.
