5.8.4 Permitted Uses
a. Permitted uses are those commercial, institutional, cultural and municipal uses
that reflect the purposes of these regulations by careful attention to the
appearance and siting of their buildings and/or site amenities, and that meet all of
the performance standards enumerated within this section and all other
applicable sections of the Zoning Regulations, with the exception of the
specifically prohibited uses listed in Sec. 5.8.5.
b. Grocery stores of less than 22,000 square feet in area shall be permitted so long
as any grocery store proposed is at least 3,000 feet from any other existing
grocery store. "Specialty"food stores(including, but not limited to, health foods,
cheese shops, etc.) of less than 10,000 square feet in size are not considered to
be grocery stores and are permitted regardless of their distance from any
permitted grocery store or other"specialty"food stone.
5.8.5 Prohibited Uses
M. Grocery store, defined as facilities other than restaurants, whose primary
purpose is the sale of packaged food, fresh food, or refrigerated food.—"SpeGi

5.8.6.c.2 Specific Site Appearance Requirements for Retail Establishments

operations when not actively managed. Outside storage of carts and parking lots
with shopping carts strewn around can detract from even the most attractive
building design.
STANDARD: Any retail business that uses shopping carts outside the building
shall have a Commission-approved cart management plan. The management
plan must specify the retail operation's cart management program to prevent
accumulation of carts in the parking lot. Shopping carts cannot be stored outside
overnight. For grocery stores as defined in Section 5.8.4 of these Regulations,
the management plan must require that the carts be returned by employees to
the interior of the store immediately after use by the customer. The approved
management plan must be implemented. Failure to maintain the standards of
the management plan will be subject to enforcement as a zoning violation.

2. The�000-foot separating distance will allow the Commission to evaluate
whether the amendment is successfully producing the type of small market that
is compatible with the Gateway Zone before numerous similar applications
could be filed. If the Commission is pleased with initial results, the separating
distance could be reduced if the Commission so desires. Likewise, if initial
results do not meet the Commission's expectations, the door is closed to
additional markets.
3. A small grocery store could create shopping cart management issues if not
carefully managed. The applicant has addressed that issue with a provision that
the shopping cart management plan must require employees to return shopping
carts to the store immediately after use by the customer.
4. The Town Plan of Conservation and Development offers no guidance for this
amendment.
5. There should be no unusual infrastructure impacts from adoption of the
proposed amendment.
6. A zoning amendment request is the appropriate time to consider traffic impacts
that could result from the proposed amendment. In this instance, the Gateway
Zone is well served by a newly-improved Buckland Road, so new traffic should
not result in unacceptable impacts.
7. The Capitol Region Council of Governments has reviewed this amendment as
required and has forwarded the following report: ***CRCOG Report***
8. If this amendment is approved, the Commission must find that it is in
conformance with the Town Plan and must set an effective date.
