Commission proposes new adaptive re-use category for 5-6 unit dwellings and a 50-year age threshold
Summary
Proposed edits would rename Section 7.13 to cover 'Adaptive Re-Use Multi-Household Dwellings (5-6 units)', add a definition for that dwelling type, focus eligibility on rehabilitation of historic buildings, and change the age criterion to 50 years while removing registry references.
Members proposed renaming Section 7.13 to 'Adaptive Re-Use Multi-Household Dwellings (5-6 units)' and adding a definition for the new category. The proposed language would emphasize rehabilitation of historic buildings and set the age threshold to 50 years old, removing references to placement on historic registries. The commission also struck one subsection (C.2) and reorganized subsection ordering to reflect the new structure.
These changes aim to create a clear pathway for reusing larger historic structures for multiple dwelling units while tightening the threshold for eligibility to a fixed age. The draft revisions will be incorporated into the consolidated zoning draft prepared by NWRPC and reviewed in forthcoming meetings.
