current Senlor Housing Overlay District has been developed and will become a pre-existing non-conforming use. The
Planning Board would prefer to allow for Assisted Living Facilities and Sentor Independent Living apartments In the
underlying zoning rather than a special district.

Commentary: The purpose of this warrant article is to delete the Village Housing Overlay District zoning bylaw. The
current Village Housing Overlay District has been developed and will become a pre-existing non-conforming use. The
Planning Board would prefer to allow for Senlor Independent Living apartments in the underlying zoning rather than a
special district, treating them as any other multifamily style development.

PLANNING BOARD MOTION

MOVED:           That Zoning By-laws be amended as follows:
1,        By deleting Section 9.6 Village Housing Overlay District (VHOD) and
2,        By relabeling section 9.6 as not used,
