A day care facility or center for up to 40 senior adults and persons with disabilities may be allowed if the Board finds:
(1) That such use will not constitute a nuisance because of traffic, insufficient parking, number of individuals being cared for, noise or type of physical activity.
(2) That the applicant possesses a valid certificate to operate an elderly and medically handicapped day care facility issued by the secretary of the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene; and
(3) That any property to be used as a day care facility is of sufficient size to accommodate the proposed number of residents and staff.
The requirements of this section do not apply to day care facilities or centers for senior adults and persons with disabilities which are operated by a nonprofit organization in buildings, structures or on premises owned or leased by a religious organization and which premises are regularly used as a place of worship, or are located on premises owned or leased by a religious organization adjacent to premises regularly used as a place of worship, or are used for private parochial educational purposes which are exempted under the provisions of this section for private educational institutions or are located in publicly owned school buildings.
