Impact analysis
Split zoning complicates the owner's ability to market or combine her two parcels, though the Town Board could still modify the request.
The applicant gains a clearer path to commercial use, though under the recommended NMX district rather than HC.
Residents near JV Washam Elementary worry Highway Commercial would invite gas stations, drive-throughs, and more commercial encroachment.
