In a recent government meeting, officials discussed a new housing project designed to promote residential development near public transit. The project has been tailored to align with the zoning ordinance's goal of incentivizing housing in close proximity to transit options.
During the meeting, a representative presented the site plan, highlighting the existing dwelling and the proposed parking layout. The planning board had previously approved the site plan and granted a special permit, alleviating the need for additional parking relief initially requested by the applicant. The approved design includes 16 parking spaces, adhering to the zoning requirement of one space per unit.
The project aims to attract residents who will utilize public transit, supported by the inclusion of covered bicycle parking and various programs intended to encourage sustainable transportation options. This initiative reflects a broader commitment to enhancing accessibility and promoting environmentally friendly living arrangements in the community.
