Planning board hears zoning task-force update on undersized lots and tiny houses
Summary
Planning staff told the board the zoning task force will pursue two state-related bylaw amendments — allowing use of undersized lots and permitting tiny houses tied to year-round, attainable housing — and will coordinate with the Select Board for direction.
Paul, speaking for the zoning task force, updated the Eastham Planning Board on a short-list of items the task force plans to pursue. Because Eastham carries a state designation as a seasonal community, Paul said the town is obligated to adopt two amendments related to utilization of undersized lots and allowing tiny houses, coupled with year-round-use and attainable/affordable housing provisions.
Paul said the task force will also revisit work on section 7 (site-plan/site-coverage rules) with possible movement toward a floor-area-ratio approach; Jackie is leading that work. The task force is scheduled to present an update to the Select Board on Oct. 5 and will coordinate joint meetings as needed to get direction on priorities and timing.
