The applicant is proposing to expand an existing outdoor cooking facility and undertake related site improvements on a developed property in the B-2 zone, which permits a range of commercial and other nonresidential uses. The applicant is requesting an interpretation of §25-7.1- Zoning District Regulations to determine whether the appli- cant’s use of the former Mayfair Farms banquet facility as a catering establishment continues to be a legally non- -conforming use. In the event that the Zoning Board of Ad- justment's interpretation of the zoning ordinance results in a determination that the use is not continuing the previous- ly approved non-confirming use, applicant will seek a var- iance pursuant to N.. 40:55D-70d. The applicant also re- quests major site plan approval. The subject property is located in the north central section of West Orange. It is the former Mayfair Farms catering fa- cility located on the north side of Eagle Rock Avenue a short distance west of Prospect Avenue. The area surrounding the subject property is developed with a mix of land uses, which include residential, commercial and open space. The subject property is currently developed with multiple buildings formerly utilized as a catering facility. The current operations include indoor food preparation and cooking, as well as an accessory outdoor barbecuing area with four smoker units on a covered 420-square foot concrete pad. The project proposes to expand the outdoor barbeque area to provide up to an additional ten (10) wood-fired meat smokers
