LAST AMENDED
6/6/2024

In all #Residence Districts#, and in C1, C2 or C3 Districts, the Board of Standards and Appeals may permit overnight camps,
whether commercial or philanthropic, as listed under Use Group V, provided that the Board finds that such #use# will not cause
excessive traffic congestion.

The Board shall prescribe the following conditions:

(a)    that a minimum of 150 square feet of #lot area# is provided for each child enrolled in the camp;

(b)    that along any #rear# or #side lot lines#, #yards# are provided, each with a minimum depth (or width) of 40 feet, within
       which no camp equipment is affixed to the land; and

(c)    that in #Residence Districts# or C3 Districts the #zoning lot# is screened along the #rear# and #side lot lines#, and in C1
       or C2 Districts along any #rear# or #side lot line# adjoining a #Residence District#, by a strip at least four feet wide,
       densely planted with shrubs or trees which are at least four feet high at the time of planting and which are of a type which
       may be expected to form a year-round dense screen at least six feet high within three years.

The Board may prescribe additional appropriate conditions and safeguards to minimize adverse effects on the character of the
surrounding area.
