PLANNING BOARD VOTE: 5-0
FINANCE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
MOVED: The Finance Committee recommends that the motion presented by the Planning Board
to Town Meeting for Article 36 as written in the warrant be adopted.
FINANCE COMMITTEE VOTE: 7-0
PLANNING BOARD DISCUSSION: On February 6th and again on March 6th, 2019, the Planning Board
discussed the proposed article to amend the Zoning By-laws Section 8.0. The goal of this and related zoning
articles is to modernize Canton’s zoning regulations around medical facilities and uses. The goals include ensuring
equity in housing, services, health and safety for everyone; To manage development well, where thoughtful
development preserves town character, while providing services for a diversity of residents; To provide necessary
medical services for vulnerable populations, such as allowing for addiction services; To clarify the definitions, uses,
parking, and special regulations for medical facilities (For example: hospitals, clinics, doctor’s offices) and
residential facilities with medical components (For example: senior living facilities, nursing homes). The new
definitions will be clearly tied to state licensing definitions and requirements, the uses will require mostly special
permits, the parking will follow planning and design standards, and the special regulations will minimize the impact
of more intensive uses on the town and residential neighbors.
Proposed residential special regulation changes include:
• Treating independent senior living apartments (age-restricted) as multi-family dwellings and required to
follow those special regulations (Section 8.2.2 Multifamily Dwellings Requirements)
• Separating convalescent or nursing homes from “Boarding or Lodging Houses, or Tourist Homes” and
creating special regulations for those uses in another Section
• By adding special regulations for Assisted Living Facilities
The Planning Board has one small correction to the text of the article in the motion. In Section 8.7.8 Decision, The
words “The Zoning Board of Appeals may way…” should read “The Zoning Board of Appeals may waive…”
FINANCE COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: The Finance Committee voted unanimously to support the Planning
Board objective in this Article, one of the related group of Articles 33 – 39, which is to modernize the Town’s zoning
regulations around medical facilities and uses. This particular Article concerns certain “living or residential” type
facilities.

employee parking as deemed adequate by the Board of
Appeals
Boarding and lodging houses, hotels, motels One parking space for each sleeping room for single or

a special permit for the SHOD development shall make specific findings as to whether there will be a benefit to the
Town as a result of allowing the applicant to make a grant of funds to the Town in lieu of inclusionary affordable
units in the SHOD development. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall consider, as the most significant factor in
making this finding, whether the applicant and the Town acting through the Board of Selectmen have executed a
Development Agreement that includes without limitation the applicant's agreement to make a grant of funds to the
Town for use in developing or fostering the development of affordable housing in the Town or for use by the Town
for any other municipal purposes.
The execution of such a Development Agreement shall strongly indicate that the Zoning Board of Appeals should
find that there will be a benefit to the Town as a result of allowing the applicant to make a grant of funds to the
Town in lieu of inclusionary affordable units in the SHOD development. The findings shall also include consideration
of appropriateness of the development site location for income eligible households, including proximity to and
quality of public transportation, schools and other services, as well as input from the Planning Board and the Board
of Selectmen. In exercising its discretion to decide whether a benefit would result to the Town in allowing a grant
of funds in lieu of inclusionary units, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall be subject to the following.
- 87 -Source page 88
ANNUAL TOWN MEETING MAY 13, 2019
A. At least twelve percent (12%) of the number of Independent Living units in the SHOD shall be restricted for
rental by persons earning not more than eighty percent of the area median family income as defined by the
DHCD. Such affordable units shall be integrated into the overall development so as to prevent the physical
segregation of such units and otherwise shall be indistinguishable from market rate units and their associated
services except in size and interior finishing and appliances.
B. Grant of Funds—Subject to the Zoning Board of Appeal's or Board of Selectmen's respective determinations in
Section 9.9.19 A, in lieu of providing affordable units within a development as described in Section 9.9.19 A,
the applicant may choose to make a cash contribution to the Town of Canton via the Board of Selectmen

and the Board of Selectmen to discuss the project proposal and affordable housing requirements.
2. Submittal of Affordable Housing Plan—The applicant shall fill out and submit a Cash Contribution Form as
part of the pre-application meeting for site plan approval to the planning board. This form requires the
following information:
a. Name, location and statement of the total project units and the type of units.
b. Verification from the DHCD that the town is in compliance with the 10% requirements of
affordable housing standards for the community.
c. The following formula shall be applied as the basis for the cash contribution: Total number of
Independent Living units in the SHOD X=$7,501 = Total Donation.
d. The total amount of the cash contribution to be made by the applicant.
e. If the development shall occur in more than one phase, each phase shall expressly be subject to
the donation formula herein.
C. The Zoning Board of Appeals in issuing the Special Permit will rely upon input from the Planning Board and the
Board of Selectmen to ensure compliance with the provisions of this section. In addition, the Zoning Board of
Appeals may impose conditions in which the building commissioner may limit, restrict, or withhold the issuance of a
certificate of occupancy for any market rate unit(s) in a development until, to the extent applicable:
1. all of the affordable units have obtained a certificate of occupancy; or
2. any land, buildings, off-site units and/or cash contribution agreed upon to be donated to the Town or its
designee have been conveyed.
9.9.20 Fees. The filing fee for a Special Permit pursuant to this section shall be
$1000.00. The Planning Board may charge the applicant a filing fee for site plan approval in addition to a technical
review fee pursuant to MGL. c. 44 s. 53G to engage professional services to review an application for a special

proposed use is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the bylaw and the proposal shall be subject to general
or specific provisions set forth herein.
The Zoning Board of Appeals may waive any or all of the dimensional requirements, when, in the judgment of the
Zoning Board of Appeals, such action is in the public interest and not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Section 9.9 Any such permit issued may also impose reasonable conditions, safeguards and limitations of time and
use. The Zoning Board of Appeals as Special Permit Granting Authority reserves the right to amend, modify or
revoke any permit granted for noncompliance of aforesaid conditions.
And
2. By relabeling section 9.9 as not used
Or to take any other action related thereto.
Board of Selectmen for Planning Board
Commentary: The purpose of this warrant article is to delete the Senior Housing Overlay District zoning bylaw.
The current Senior Housing Overlay District has been developed and will become a pre-existing non-conforming
use. The Planning Board would prefer to allow for Assisted Living Facilities and Senior Independent Living
apartments in the underlying zoning rather than a special district.

FINANCE COMMITTEE VOTE: 7-0
PLANNING BOARD DISCUSSION: On February 6th and again on March 6th, 2019, the Planning Board
discussed the proposed article to delete the Senior Housing Overlay District. The current Senior Housing Overlay
District has been developed and will become a pre-existing non-conforming use. The Planning Board would prefer
to allow for Assisted Living Facilities and Senior Independent Living apartments in the underlying zoning as a
special permit rather than a special district.

FINANCE COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: The Finance Committee unanimously supported this Planning Board
Article which deletes the Town’s existing Senior Housing Overlay District. Properties in the district have been
developed and the overlay is no longer necessary. It is hoped that Senior Housing will continue to be developed in
the Town, more broadly in underlying zones, in a fashion not solely limited to a particular overlay.
