CHILDCARE INSTITUTION. An institutional facility housing more than nine orphaned, abandoned, dependent, abused, or neglected children.
CLUB OR LODGE, PRIVATE (NON-PROFIT). A non-profit association of persons, who are bona fide members paying dues, which owns, hires or leases a building, or portion thereof; the use of such premises being restricted to members and their guests. The affairs and management of such private club or lodge are conducted by a board of directors, executive committee, or similar body chosen by the members. It shall be permissible to serve food and meals on such premises provided adequate dining room space and kitchen facilities are available. The sale of alcoholic beverages to members and their guests shall be allowed provided it is secondary and incidental to the promotion of some other common objective of the organization, and further provided that such sale of alcoholic beverages is in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws.
CONDITIONAL LAND USE. A use that generally would not be appropriate in a zoning district if such use is without restriction. However, if such use is controlled as to number, area, location, or relation to the neighborhood, it would promote the public health, safety, welfare, morals, order, comfort, convenience, appearance, prosperity, and/or general welfare, it could be permitted.
CONVENIENCE STORE. A one-story, retail store designed and stocked to sell primarily gasoline, food, beverages, and other household supplies to customers who purchase only a relatively few items (in contrast to a "supermarket"). It is designed to attract, and depends upon, a large volume of stop-and-go traffic. Ilustrative examples of convenience stores are those operated by various oil companies and various chain store groups such as "Stop & Go", "7-11", "QuickChek", etc.
CONVALESCENT HOME. An institution, which is advertised, announced, or maintained for the express or implied purpose of providing nursing or convalescent care for persons unrelated to the licensee. A convalescent home is a home for chronic or nursing patients who, on admission, are not as a rule acutely ill and who do not usually require special facilities, such as an operating room, X-ray facilities, laboratory facilities, and obstetrical facilities. A convalescent home provides care for persons who have remedial ailments or other ailments for which continuing medical and skilled nursing care is indicated; who, however, are not sick enough to require general hospital care. Nursing care is their primary need, but they will require continuing medical supervision. A major factor which distinguishes convalescent homes is that the residents will require individual medical care.
