Article 3: Applications and Reviews
Part 3, Impact Fees:
Sec. 3.3.1, Applicability
Impact fees, if any, associated with the expansion will be determined by the Department of Public
Works, Technical Services and Water Resources Divisions. (Affirmative finding as conditioned)

Part 5, Conditional Use & Major Impact Review:
Section 3.5.6 (a) Conditional Use Review Standards
Approval shall be granted only if the DRB, after public notice and public hearing, determines that
the proposed conditional use and associated development shall not result in an undue adverse
effect on each of the following general standards:

1. Existing or planned public utilities, facilities or services are capable of supporting the proposed
 use in addition to the existing uses in the area;
 The property is served by municipal utilities. Sufficient water and sewer service are available.
 The increase in children at the daycare may require a State of Vermont wastewater permit. The
 applicant is advised to inquire with VT DEC as to wastewater permit requirements. (Affirmative
 finding as conditioned)

2. The character of the area affected as defined by the purpose or purposes of the zoning
 district(s) within which the project is located, and specifically stated policies and standards of
 the municipal development plan;

The property is located within the Residential – Medium Intensity zone. This zone is intended
primarily for medium density residential development in the form of single-family detached
dwellings and attached multi-family apartments. The property reflects this intent and contains a
sizeable residential development with a number of multifamily apartment buildings. A handful of
nonresidential uses are allowed in this zone. Daycare is one of them, and minimal expansion is
proposed. (Affirmative finding)

3. The proposed use will not have nuisance impacts from noise, odor, dust, heat, and vibrations
 greater than typically generated by other permitted uses in the same zoning district;

The proposed daycare expansion is not expected to generate nuisance impacts from noise, odor,
dust, and the like that may be more typically associated with industrial uses. (Affirmative
finding)

4. The transportation system is capable of supporting the proposed use in addition to the existing
 uses in the area. Evaluation factors include street designations and capacity; level of service
 and other performance measures; access to arterial roadways; connectivity; transit
 availability; parking and access; impacts on pedestrian, bicycle and transit circulation; safety
 for all modes; and adequate transportation demand management strategies;

No traffic analysis has been provided or is required for this application. The original application
noted that drop-offs will take place around 8:30 AM – around the time of the morning peak hour.
Pick-ups will take place midafternoon around 2:30 PM, well before the PM peak hour. No
changes are proposed. The proposed expansion is not expected to perceptibly impact traffic
generation. (Affirmative finding)

 and,
5. The utilization of renewable energy resources;

No renewable energy utilization is included in this proposal. Future incorporation is not precluded
by the minimal daycare expansion. (Affirmative finding)

specified in (a) or (b) above, the DRB may also impose additional conditions of approval relative
to any of the following:

1. Mitigation measures, including but not limited to screening, landscaping, where necessary to
reduce noise and glare and to maintain the property in a character in keeping with the

Mitigation measures related to screening and landscaping are unnecessary, as no site or exterior
building alterations are proposed. (Affirmative finding)

2. Time limits for construction.
No construction is included in this application. (Affirmative finding)

3. Hours of operation and/or construction to reduce the impacts on surrounding properties.
The approved days and hours of operation are Monday – Friday from 8:30 AM – 2:30 PM. No

Sent: Tuesday, April 7, 2026 4:33 PM
To: Scott Gustin
Subject: RE: follow up for 212 Intervale

Hi Scott,

Thank you for getting back to me. Here is the written statement:

Champlain Valley Head Start (CVHS) has operated the Riverside Early Learning Center at 212 Intervale
Avenue in Burlington since 2020. We currently serve 16 pre-school children and 8 toddlers at this site. In
addition, CVHS has early learning centers in New Haven, St Albans, the New North End of Burlington and
Winooski. Our federal regulations require that we maintain a 97% enrollment rate across the programs,
and if we are unable to do so, we are put on an enrollment plan. As populations and needs shift in the
state, we are finding it challenging to maintain the needed enrollment numbers at our more rural centers,
while often carrying a waitlist for services in the Burlington and Winooski areas. We are hoping to
increase capacity at these more populated centers to address both the needs of the communities we
serve, while maintaining our required enrollment numbers. The addition of one pre-school child at the
Riverside Early Learning Center will not affect the running hours or the days of operation.

Thank you!
Kelley

Nothing in the proposal appears to constitute a nuisance under this criterion. (Affirmative
finding)

street parking requirement is 1 parking space per 2 employees, plus 1 space for every 5 children.
In this case, there will be 8 employees and 23 children. A total of 9 parking spaces are required.

The current parking requirement for the property is 54 parking spaces. A total of 68 off-street
parking spaces exist. The new daycare will increase the onsite parking requirement to 63 spaces.

 RE: ZP-22-199; 51 Elmwood Avenue
 ======================================================================
 Note: These are staff comments only; decisions on projects are made by the Development
 Review Board, which may approve, deny, table or modify any project. THE APPLICANT
 OR REPRESENTATIVE MUST ATTEND THE MEETING.

 Zone: RH Ward: 3

 Owner/Applicant: City of Burlington / CEDO

 Request: Second one-year time extension for emergency shelter including 30 shelter pods,
 community resource center, and bathhouse.

 Applicable Regulations:
 Article 3 (Applications, Permits, & Project Reviews)

 Background Information:
 The applicant is requesting a second 1-year time extension for zoning permit ZP-22-199, which
 was granted to establish a temporary emergency shelter on the subject property for a period of 3
 years. An initial 1-year time extension was granted by the DRB just about a year ago in May 2025.
 The shelter includes 30 pods, a community resource center, and a bathhouse. The shelter has been
 in operation for close to four years now, and the applicants seek to extend the permit for an
 additional year.

 The state statute affecting emergency shelters has changed since the original zoning permit
 approval in June, 2022. The so-called “HOME Act” of 2023 included emergency shelters under
 the provisions of 24 VSA, Sec. 4413 and limits zoning review to the same standards as for schools,
 places of worship, state properties, etc. The Act also specifically precludes regulating the daily or
 seasonal hours of operation of emergency shelters. No changes to the project are included in this
 time extension request.

 Previous zoning actions for this property are as follows:
  10/25/24, Approval of fence installation
  12/1/23, Approval to remove limitation on duration of stays, per new state statute
  4/21/23, Approval to install a storage shed
  6/22/22, Approval of emergency shelter

 Recommendation: Approval as per, and subject to, the following findings and conditions:
 .
 I. Findings

 Page 18 of 68
Article 3: Applications, Permits, and Project Reviews
Sec. 3.2.9, Zoning Permits
(d) Time Limits on Zoning Permits:
This section allows applicants 1 year to initiate work on their approved project and an additional 2
years (for a total of 3) to complete their project. Provision is made for up to two 1-year time
extensions to either start or complete the project. Approval of a time extension is predicated on
making the request prior to expiration of the zoning permit and continuing compliance with
applicable zoning standards.

In this case, the work was completed within the first year as required. The zoning permit approval
was expressly issued for just 3 years per condition 5. This same condition allowed for time
extension per Sec. 3.2.9 (d) Time Limits on Zoning Permits, of the Comprehensive Development
Ordinance. An initial 1-year time extension was requested and approved in May 2025. A second,
and final, 1-year time extension is requested now. The applicant submitted the zoning permit time
extension request prior to expiration of the permit as required.

No changes to the project are proposed, and the emergency shelter use remains permissible. A
second, and final, 1-year time extension may be granted. (Affirmative finding)

II. Conditions of Approval

 1. Approval of zoning permit ZP-22-199 is extended by 1 additional year (for a total of 5
 years) beyond the original approval date of June 22, 2022.
 2. No further time extensions can be approved.

 Burlington Development Review Board
 Findings of Fact
 Deliberative Hearing Tuesday, June 21, 2022

 In RE: ZP-22-199; 51 Elmwood Avenue (Ward 3C, RH) (Tax Lot No. 044-4-048-000)

 Owner/Applicant: Burlington DPW / Samantha Dunn

 Request: Establish a temporary emergency shelter including 30 shelter pods, community
 resource center, and bathhouse

 Members Present:
 Brad Rabinowitz
 AJ LaRosa
 Caitlin Halpert
 Brooks McArthur
 Leo Sprinzen
 Sean McKenzie

 Evidence Presented:
 The Board examined the materials submitted in support of this request.

 I. FINDINGS

 Background Information:
 The applicant is requesting approval to establish a temporary emergency shelter on an existing
 nonconforming municipal parking lot. The requested duration is 3 years. The parking lot will
 remain in place, and the proposed structures will be placed upon it with limited earthwork for
 utility installations and connections. Additional fencing, outdoor lighting, and raised planters are
 also proposed. Emergency shelters are a conditional use in the Residential – High Density zone
 wherein the project is located. A related community center is included and will serve occupants
 of the shelter but will also be open to the public.

 As a municipally owned and operated facility the application for this emergency shelter is
 subject to only limited zoning review per 24 VSA, Sec. 4413, Limitations on municipal bylaws.
 The development may be reviewed only with respect to location, size, height, building bulk,
 yards, courts, setbacks, density of buildings, off-street parking, loading facilities, traffic, noise,
 lighting, landscaping, and screening requirements.

 There are no previous zoning actions for this property.

Article 3: Applications, Permits, and Project Reviews
Part 3: Impact Fees
Sec. 3.3.2, Applicability & Sec. 3.3.3, Exemptions & Waivers
The proposed emergency shelter does not contain any new dwelling units, but is it categorized as
a special residential use. Occupants of the shelter will stay there rent free. As such, it qualifies
for an exemption from impact fees per Sec. 3.3.3.

The community resource center, even though temporary, does not qualify for an exemption from
impact fees. Those will be due prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. (Affirmative
finding as conditioned)

Article 3: Applications and Reviews
Part 5, Conditional Use & Major Impact Review:
Section 3.5.6 (a) Conditional Use Review Standards
Approval shall be granted only if the DRB, after public notice and public hearing, determines
that the proposed conditional use and associated development shall not result in an undue
adverse effect on each of the following general standards:

1. Existing or planned public utilities, facilities or services are capable of supporting the
 proposed use in addition to the existing uses in the area;
 The property will be served by municipal utilities. Electrical service is present, and water and
 wastewater service will be installed. Sufficient water and sewer service are available. While the
 use is temporary, a State of Vermont wastewater permit will be required. A wastewater capacity
 letter from the Department of Public Works will be required for issuance of the wastewater
 permit. (Affirmative finding as conditioned)

2. The character of the area affected as defined by the purpose or purposes of the zoning
 district(s) within which the project is located, and specifically stated policies and standards
 of the municipal development plan;

The property is located within the Residential – High Density zone. This zone is intended
primarily for high density residential development in the form of attached multi-family
buildings. A variety of residential uses are allowed, including “special residential uses” such as
emergency shelters. The temporary emergency shelter fits within the residential context of the
RH zone. (Affirmative finding)

3. The proposed use will not have nuisance impacts from noise, odor, dust, heat, and vibrations
 greater than typically generated by other permitted uses in the same zoning district;

The proposed emergency shelter will be limited to 35 individuals (30 pods, including 5 pods that
will allow 2 people if there are couples who request being together) and onsite staff. With
continuous onsite staff, the shelter is not expected to generate nuisance impacts from noise, odor,
dust, and the like that may be more typically associated with commercial uses. (Affirmative
finding)




ZP-22-199 Minutes/FOF pg. 2 of 11


 Page 50 of 68
4. The transportation system is capable of supporting the proposed use in addition to the
 existing uses in the area. Evaluation factors include street designations and capacity; level of
 service and other performance measures; access to arterial roadways; connectivity; transit
 availability; parking and access; impacts on pedestrian, bicycle and transit circulation;
 safety for all modes; and adequate transportation demand management strategies;

No traffic analysis has been provided or is required for this application. The anticipated
occupants of the emergency shelter are not expected to generate any traffic impacts. Staff will
park onsite on a small number of parking spaces. (Affirmative finding)

 and,
5. The utilization of renewable energy resources;

Depending on available funding, solar panels will be installed on the rooftops of the community
resource center and/or the bathhouse. (Affirmative finding)

 and,
6. Any standards or factors set forth in existing City bylaws and city and state ordinances;

It is the applicant’s responsibility to comply with other applicable city and state bylaws and
ordinances.

(b) Major Impact Review Standards
Not applicable.

(c) Conditions of Approval:
In addition to imposing conditions of approval necessary to satisfy the General Standards
specified in (a) or (b) above, the DRB may also impose additional conditions of approval relative
to any of the following:

1. Mitigation measures, including but not limited to screening, landscaping, where necessary to
reduce noise and glare and to maintain the property in a character in keeping with the
surrounding area.
The emergency shelter is similar to a multi-family residential development. As opposed to
dwelling units, the facility will have 30 individual shelter pods and a related community center
and a bathhouse. The emergency shelter will have onsite staff to manage it 24/7. All of the
buildings are fully enclosed. Shared outdoor space is located in the center of the site to lessen
potential noise impacts to neighboring properties. Trash and recycling units will be enclosed
behind screening. (Affirmative finding)

2. Time limits for construction.
All of the buildings are pre-fabricated and will take relatively little time to install. Standard
zoning permit time limits will apply – 1 year to start construction and 2 more to complete (total
of 3 years). In this case, the emergency shelter will cease operation after 3 years. (Affirmative
finding)



ZP-22-199 Minutes/FOF pg. 3 of 11


 Page 51 of 68
3. Hours of operation and/or construction to reduce the impacts on surrounding properties.
The emergency shelter will operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week for up to 3 years. The
related community center will operate, open to the public, 7 days per week from 9:00 AM – 4:00
PM. These hours are within the permissible hours of 5:30 AM – 11:00 PM for community
centers.

Hours of construction are not noted. Within residential areas, hours of construction are typically
limited to M-F 7:00 am to 5:30 pm, with Saturday hours restricted to interior work. No work on
Sundays. (Affirmative finding as conditioned)

4. That any future enlargement or alteration of the use return for review to the DRB to permit the
specifying of new conditions; and,
Any future enlargement or alteration will be reviewed under the zoning regulations in effect at
that time.

5. Such additional reasonable performance standards, conditions and safeguards, as it may
deem necessary to implement the purposes of this chapter and the zoning regulations.
See the recommended conditions.

Article 4: Maps & Districts
Sec. 4.4.5, Residential Districts:
(a) Purpose
(5) Residential High Density (RH)
As noted previously, the subject property is located within the Residential – High Density zone.
This zone is intended primarily for high density residential development in the form of attached
multi-family apartments. A variety of residential uses are allowed, including “special residential
uses” such as emergency shelters. The temporary emergency shelter fits within the residential
context of the RH zone. Community centers are permitted in the RH zone and serve as an
ancillary amenity to the surrounding neighborhoods. (Affirmative finding)

(b) Dimensional Standards & Density
There is no residential density per se. See Sec. 5.4.13 for residential density equivalent for
emergency shelters.

Lot coverage is nonconforming at 100%. No change in lot coverage is proposed, although some
green space will be introduced to the site with planters.

The front yard setback is based on the average of neighboring properties. In this case, a 5’ front
yard setback is proposed and is based on an average of 3.’ Note that the average provided is for
just the two adjacent properties. The average is based on 4 properties, the two to the north and
the two to the south in this case. All of the buildings look to be close to the street, but the
average needs to be recalculated based on the 4 properties. As all of the proposed buildings are
15’ tall or less, 5’ minimum side and rear yard setbacks are required. The site plan reflects these
required side and rear minimum setbacks.




ZP-22-199 Minutes/FOF pg. 4 of 11


 Page 52 of 68
The community resource center is 15’ tall and the rest of the buildings are just 10’ tall. These
heights are well below the 35’ height limit. (Affirmative finding as conditioned)

(c) Permitted & Conditional Uses
An emergency shelter is a conditional use in the RH zone. The related community center is a
permitted use. (Affirmative finding)

(d) District Specific Regulations
Not applicable.

Article 5: Citywide General Regulations
Sec. 5.2.3, Lot Coverage Requirements
See Sec. 4.4.5 (b).

Sec. 5.2.4, Buildable Area Calculation
See Sec. 4.4.5 (b).

Sec. 5.2.5, Setbacks
See Sec. 4.4.5 (b).

Sec. 5.2.6, Building Height Limits
See Sec. 4.4.5 (b).

Sec. 5.2.7, Density and Intensity of Development Calculations
See Sec. 4.4.5 (b).

Part 4: Special Use Regulations
Section 5.4.13 Emergency Shelters
Emergency shelters shall be subject to the site and design review standards in Art 6.
In addition to conditional use standards where applicable, proposals for all new emergency
shelters shall comply with the following requirements:
 (a) All dimensional standards for the underlying zoning per the requirements of Art. 4 shall
 be applicable;
 See Sec. 4.4.5 above.
 (b) Density within the residential zones shall be per the residential density standards of
 Article 4. For the purposes of density calculation for emergency shelters, every four (4)
 beds shall count as one (1) dwelling unit;
 The 30 pods contain 30-35 beds. Assuming a maximum of 35 beds, that equates to 9
 dwelling units on this ~ ½ acre property. With a limit of 40 units per acre, the equivalent
 of 9 units is acceptable. (Affirmative finding)
 (c) Density within the neighborhood mixed use zones shall be limited to fifty (50) beds, and
 there is no density limit in the downtown or downtown transition zones;
 (Not applicable)


ZP-22-199 Minutes/FOF pg. 5 of 11


 Page 53 of 68
 (d) Overnight stays by any individual are limited to 180 consecutive days. An extension of
 up to 60 days may be provided if no alternative housing is available;
 This standard will be a condition of approval. The applicant is aware of this criterion.
 (Affirmative finding as conditioned)
 (e) There shall be onsite management by qualified adults during all hours of operation with
 at least 1 management person for every 25 beds; and,
 Up to four onsite staff will be present, including 1 or 2 overnight staff. One overnight
 staff will be present until or unless the number of individuals in the shelter pods exceeds
 25. At that point, the applicant proposes that 2 overnight staff would be present. In light
 of community concerns about management of the shelter and potential nuisance impacts,
 at least 2 overnight stall shall be present in any event. (Affirmative finding as
 conditioned)
 (f) An emergency shelter may be the primary use of a property, or it may be accessory to
 another primary use on a property.
 In this case, the emergency shelter will be the primary (albeit temporary) use of the
 property. (Affirmative finding)

Sec. 5.5.1, Nuisance Regulations
The emergency shelter is anticipated to have impacts similar to multi-family housing. Design
and management measures, such as enclosed buildings, centralized community spaces, and 24/7
onsite staffing will lessen potential noise and related impacts. Substantial testimony from the
community raised valid concerns about management of the shelter and concern about the lack of
an identified management team for the facility. In an effort to further mitigate potential nuisance
impacts, there must be no amplified outdoor music or other sound, and an operational
management plan must be provided. (Affirmative finding as conditioned)

Sec. 5.5.2, Outdoor Lighting
Existing pole lights will remain. New outdoor lighting consists of canister and wall-pack
fixtures that will illuminate building entries. The proposed fixtures will provide illumination
with acceptable low output lamps. (Affirmative finding)

Sec. 5.5.3, Stormwater and Erosion Control
An erosion prevention and sediment control plan is required for the utility earthwork associated
with this project. Review by the city’s Water Resources staff is underway. Approval of the
erosion prevention and sediment control plan is required prior to construction. (Affirmative
finding as conditioned)

Article 6: Development Review Standards
Part 1, Land Division Design Standards
Not applicable.

Part 2, Site Plan Design Standards
Sec. 6.2.2, Review Standards
(a) Protection of important natural features

ZP-22-199 Minutes/FOF pg. 6 of 11

 height. Other buildings onsite are behind fencing and not as apparent from the street. The
 bathhouse reads as an outbuilding of smaller scale with simple form and massing. All of the
 shelter pods read as miniature cottages with typically residential characteristics like pitched
 roofs, front doorways, and windows. (Affirmative finding)

The proposed building must provide adequate egress as required by the building code. Entries
will be illuminated. A central emergency access aisle will be provided into the site.
(Affirmative finding)

Article 8: Parking
Sec. 8.1.8, Minimum Off-Street Parking Requirements
The emergency shelter has no minimum onsite parking requirement. The ~1,400 sf community
center requires 5 parking spaces (3.3 spaces per 1,000 sf). A total of 6 parking spaces will be
provided onsite. (Affirmative finding)

Sec. 8.2.4, Bicycle Parking Requirements
There is no bicycle parking requirement for the emergency shelter. The community resource
center is required to have 2 short term bike parking spaces. It is not large enough to require long
term spaces. The project plans do not depict an outdoor bike rack. One is required and should
be placed near the primary entrance to the community resource center. (Affirmative finding as
conditioned)

 RE: ZP-26-122; 118 Dale Road
 ======================================================================
 Note: These are staff comments only; decisions on projects are made by the Development
 Review Board, which may approve, deny, table or modify any project. THE APPLICANT
 OR REPRESENTATIVE MUST ATTEND THE MEETING.

 Zone: RL Ward: 4

 Owner/Applicant: Evan Gould

 Request: Proposed establishment of a spa home occupation.

 Applicable Regulations:
 Article 3 (Applications, Permits, & Project Reviews), Article 5 (Citywide General Regulations)

 Background Information:
 The applicant is requesting approval to establish a spa home occupation business. The property is
 a single detached dwelling unit and is located in a residential zone. The home occupation is
 subject to conditional use review. No site or exterior building changes are proposed.

 Previous zoning actions for this property are noted below.
  ZP-05-407 – Approval for expansion of kitchen and deck addition.
  ZP-1999-430 – Approval for construction of a partial second floor (25'x25') For the
 existing single family home. No change in use or footprint.
 Recommendation: Approval as per, and subject to, the following findings and conditions:

 I. Findings
 Article 3: Applications, Permits, and Reviews
 Part 5, Conditional Use & Major Impact Review:
 Section 3.5.6 (a) Conditional Use Review Standards
 Approval shall be granted only if the DRB, after public notice and public hearing, determines that
 the proposed conditional use and associated development shall not result in an undue adverse
 effect on each of the following general standards:

  1. Existing or planned public utilities, facilities or services are capable of supporting the proposed
 use in addition to the existing uses in the area;
 The proposed home occupation is small in scale and will not increase demand on existing or
 planned public utilities. (Affirmative finding)




 Page 60 of 68
2. The character of the area affected as defined by the purpose or purposes of the zoning
 district(s) within which the project is located, and specifically stated policies and standards of
 the municipal development plan;

The subject property is located within the Residential Low Intensity zone and is in a neighborhood
characterized predominantly by other single detached dwelling units on similarly sized lots. No
exterior changes are proposed for the home occupation, and only one resident employee is
proposed. There will be little, if any, evidence of the home occupation as perceived from the
neighborhood. (Affirmative finding)

3. The proposed use will not have nuisance impacts from noise, odor, dust, heat, and vibrations
 greater than typically generated by other permitted uses in the same zoning district;

Spa activities will take place within the existing primary structure. No impacts from noise, dust,
heat, or vibrations are anticipated. (Affirmative finding)

4. The transportation system is capable of supporting the proposed use in addition to the existing
 uses in the area. Evaluation factors include street designations and capacity; level of service
 and other performance measures; access to arterial roadways; connectivity; transit
 availability; parking and access; impacts on pedestrian, bicycle and transit circulation; safety
 for all modes; and adequate transportation demand management strategies;

Traffic impacts, if any, are expected to be minimal. Just one employee, a resident of the property,
will work the home occupation, and no commercial vehicle deliveries are anticipated. While there
will be people visiting the studio for treatments, there will be no overlapping of customers, and
treatments will be by appointment only. (Affirmative finding)

 and,
5. The utilization of renewable energy resources;

Nothing within the application will preclude the use of wind, solar, geothermal, or other renewable
energy resource. (Affirmative finding)

 and,
6. Any standards or factors set forth in existing City bylaws and city and state ordinances;

The home occupation will be subject to any applicable city or state requirements. (Affirmative
finding as conditioned)

Article 5: Citywide General Regulations
Sec. 5.4.6, Home Occupations
 Pursuant to the requirements of 24 VSA 4412(4), it is the intent of these regulations to provide
 for the use of a minor portion of a dwelling unit for a home occupation and to ensure
 compatibility with other permitted uses and with the residential character of the neighborhood.
 Such a home occupation must clearly be secondary or incidental to the principal residential
 use, and so located and conducted that the average neighbor, under normal circumstances,
 would not otherwise be aware of its existence.
 (b) Conditional Use Review:
ZP-26-122 pg. 2 of 4

 Page 61 of 68
 All home occupations not otherwise eligible for administrative approval above shall
 require review and approval by the DRB pursuant to the requirements of Art. 3, Part 5. In

 one additional full-time equivalent employee in RL districts, and no more than two (2)
 full-time equivalent employees in other districts. The home occupation shall be conducted
 entirely within an existing dwelling unit and/or one enclosed accessory structure;
 The home occupation will be operated solely by one resident occupant. (Affirmative

 days each);
 None proposed. (Affirmative finding)
 and
 B. One non-illuminated attached parallel sign that shall not exceed two (2) square feet.

 6. No home occupation may increase vehicular traffic flow or parking by more than one
 additional vehicle at a time for customers or deliveries. All parking shall be located off-
 street and shall maintain the required front yard setback;
 No substantial increase in vehicular traffic flow or parking are proposed. The existing
 driveway provides off-street parking for at least one vehicle. (Affirmative finding)
 7. No home occupation shall create sounds, noise, dust, vibration, smell, smoke, heat,
 humidity, glare, radiation, electrical interference, fire hazard or any other hazard,
 nuisance or unsightliness which is discernible from any adjacent dwelling unit;
 See Sec. 3.5.6 (a) 3 above.
 8. The home occupation shall be clearly incidental and secondary to the use of the dwelling
 for residential purposes and shall not change the character thereof or adversely affect
 the uses permitted in the residential district of which it is a part.
