Planning commission approves added uses for 9+9a Sharon Road special permit
Summary
The Salisbury Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-0-0 to amend a 2021 special permit for 9+9a Sharon Road, allowing "Professional Services" or an "Exercise or Dance Studio" in addition to the existing low‑turnover restaurant and apartment uses, finding the change does not materially alter the original permit.
The Salisbury Planning and Zoning Commission voted to amend an existing special permit for 9+9a Sharon Road to allow an additional use of either "Professional Services" or an "Exercise or Dance Studio." Attorney William Grickis presented the applicant's request and answered questions from commissioners.
The amendment modifies Special Permit #2021-0153, which previously authorized parking flexibility and satellite parking for a low‑turnover restaurant and an apartment on the property. Vice Chair Allen Cockerline moved to approve the amendment; Secretary Bob Riva seconded. Because Chair Cathy Shyer lost connectivity during the discussion, Cockerline served as acting chair. The motion carried 4-0-0, with Chair Shyer unavailable to vote.
Commissioners discussed whether the proposed uses would "materially alter the original special permit" and concluded they would not, noting that the parking flexibility previously granted and the proposed low‑impact nature of the additional uses supported approval. The Commission's approval did not attach additional conditions beyond those in the existing permit.
Next steps: the amendment is approved as recorded at the meeting; the transcript records the formal motion and 4-0-0 vote. No further administrative actions were recorded at the meeting regarding permits or conditions for the property.
