REPORT:
On February 16th, and again on March 2nd, 2022, the Planning Board discussed the proposed article to amend
Section 3.1.4 the Table of Use Regulations. This is a housekeeping zoning article to fill in the blank columns
in the Table of Use chart. At the 2017 Annual Town meeting the Town adopted Zoning Bylaws Section 6.8
General Provisions for the Limited Industrial (C) District and designated the Limited Industrial (C) district on
the zoning map. In Section 6.8 it states that uses allowed by right in either the Limited Industrial or Limited
Industrial (B) Districts shall be allowed by right in the Limited Industrial (C) district. Any uses allowed as a
Special Permit within the Limited Industrial or Limited Industrial (B) district will also be allowed as a special
permit in the Limited Industrial (C) district. This also fills in the blank uses for the newly formed
Commercial Mixed-Use District (C-MU). Finally, it updates other uses related to the Route 138 Economic
Development Study (2020) recommendations or as related to structured parking or electric vehicle charging
stations.
RECOMMENDATION:
On February 16th, 2022, the Planning Board voted with three (3) members in favor and one (1) opposed, to
recommend that this Article be adopted at Town Meeting that the applicable language be added directly into
this section of the by-laws. The hearing was closed on March 2nd, 2022, with no changes to the vote and one
addition in the motion that a line for self-storage units be added. Additionally, one zoning change, approved
in 2021 has been added in the motion (Article 36 from ATM 2021 that removed the word “not” from Section
3.1.4 Section J Accessory Uses related to “The keeping overnight of not more than five motor vehicles”.)
Voted 3-1
In favor: Patricia McDermott, Kathy McCormack, David McCarthy Against: Joseph Amrhein
Not present: Robert E. Panico
MOVED:
That the Town will vote to amend Zoning By-laws Section 3.1.4 Table of Use Regulations to complete the
Table of Use for the Limited Industrial (C) zone, the Commercial Mixed-Use Zone (C-MU), and update uses
related to structured parking and electric vehicle charging stations, or take any other action related thereto.
