SUMMARY:
Public Hearing for Annual Town Meeting Warrant Articles 34 & 35
The Planning Board will present their zoning proposal to amend the Zoning Bylaw and Zoning Map to create districts permitting multi-family housing with inclusionary housing requirements, and allows mixed use in some districts under specific conditions. Articles 34 and 35 will be discussed together because they are related articles.
This article implements the requirements of M.G.L. c. 40A § 3A by establishing new overlay zoning districts on the Zoning Map and amending the Zoning Bylaw to permit multi-family housing, and mixed-use developments (in some areas), with an as-of-right approval process within those new districts. The Planning Board's zoning proposal will create new Village Overlay Districts in Section 7.5 of the Bylaw and on the Zoning Map as Village Low Rise Overlay (VLO), Village Mid Rise Overlay (VMO), and Village High Rise Overlay (VMO).
