As special permits go, it sounds pretty ordinary - "more of the same, in the same area".
Personally, I think it's a big flaw in our zoning regulations (and those of most cities) that the majority of existing land uses are non-conforming and require this kind of special permit for any sort of modification; it makes more decisions somewhat discretionary actions of the ZBA when they should be by-right uses of the landowners.
