CONDITIONAL USE CRITERIA
1. The proposed use, in its location and operation, shall be consistent with the planned

According to the South Burlington Comprehensive Plan, residential neighborhoods
should be protected from incompatible commercial encroachment and traffic adherence.

densities in areas that are planned for residential use.
The proposed accessory residential unit will be consistent with the plan character of the area, as
defined by the Comprehensive Plan.
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 4 DEPARTMENT OF
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
WrMmisckaaftonditional use.doc
2. The proposed use shall conform to the stated purpose of the district in which the
proposed use is to be located.
According to Section 4.03(A) of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, the
Residential 4 District is hereby formed in order to encourage residential use at moderate
densities that are compatible with existing neighborhoods and undeveloped land
adjacent to those neighborhoods. Any use not expressly permitted is prohibited, except
those that are allowed as conditional uses.
Staff feels the proposed accessory residential unit conforms to the stated purpose of the R4
District.
3. The DRB must find that the proposed uses will not adversely affect the following:

Educational facilities will not be affected, as the accessory apartment will be occupied by no
more than two individuals. In addition, staff does not believe that the accessory apartment will
adversely affect other municipal services.
(b) The essential character of the neighborhood or district in which the property is
located, nor ability to develop adjacent property for appropriate uses.
Staff believes that the proposal is in keeping with residential uses on surrounding properties and
will not adversely affect the character of the area or the ability to develop adjacent properties.
(c) Traffic on roads and highways in the vicinity.
The addition of one or two residents will have negligible affects on traffic in the vicinity.
(d) Bylaws in effect.
The proposed project is in keeping with regulations, provided the applicant obtains water and
sewer allocation.
