B. 

Change of use. A use which is established either by right or special permit or which is legally nonconforming consistent with the provisions of this chapter may not be changed to any other use or activity without prior notice to the town. Such request for a change of use shall be made by filing an application for a building permit with the Town Building Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer. Said application shall be reviewed by the Planning Board, which may require that the applicant submit all materials and information as may be required for site plan review.

[Amended 7-9-2003 by L.L. No. 9-2003]

C. 

Exempted uses. Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements for site plan review, the Planning Board may waive the requirement of review and approval where it finds, in writing, served to the Building Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer and applicant, that such review and approval is unnecessary and would not serve the purposes of this article.

[Amended 7-9-2003 by L.L. No. 9-2003]

D. 

Site plan approval is required for seasonal sales of produce, holiday decorations, Christmas trees and similar activities which occur for limited time frames and do not result in year-round commercial activity.
