The existing mixed use is a nonconforming use that has existed since at least 1987 and has been acknowledged by the Board in subsequent applications. The Applicant seeks a (d)(3) variance to expand that use to construct an addition to the mixed use building to add commercial space and an additional residential unit, so that the combined lots will include three residential units where today there are two on the combined lots. The Applicant also requests a (d)(3) variance for density. The Applicant also requests relatively minor bulk variances, a one-space parking variance and site plan approval. As explained in the Rider to this application and as we will explain at the hearing, this application meets the criteria for the relief requested.
