real property of the obligor in an amount sufficient to satisfy all unpaid fees, which shall have
priority over all other liens except municipal liens and mortgages of record prior to the recording
of a notice of lien, if notice of the lien is duly recorded by Lexington in the appropriate registry

(b) A property owner of property located within a TID and subject to an exemption in clause
Third or clause Eleventh of section 5 of chapter 59 may enter into an agreement with the Select
Board for voluntary payments to Lexington for the purposes of this chapter or, if the TID

The TID shall establish the amount of and terms of such payment agreement based on factors
that include but are not limited to: (i) the assessed value of the real property; (ii) community
benefits provided by the property owner such as the property owner's contribution to
transportation goals and programs of the TID; (iii) the total assets of the property owner,
including but not limited to: land, buildings and equipment; and (iv) total annual revenues.

to appropriation. Users of the new transit improvement program shall be required to pay a fee for
service, which shall, in the aggregate, be no more than 5 per cent of the total program costs.
Property owners located within a TID shall provide a minimum of 25 per cent of the transit
improvement program costs.
SECTION 8. The Select Board or, if the TID involves more than one municipality, the municipal
executive body of the lead municipality, shall conduct a review of the program plan 12 months
prior to the completion of the duration of the transit improvement programs within a TID to
determine if the program is desired to be continued, and if so, complete a program assessment
March 22, 2021 Adjourned Session of the 2021 Annual Town Meeting, cont'd...
that includes a review of the anticipated costs to continue said service. If continuance is sought, a
public hearing shall be conducted on the TID's desire to continue service and a renewal of the
authorization shall be approved by Town Meeting in a manner consistent with the authorization
set forth in section 2.
SECTION 9. A TID may be dissolved by petition to the Select Board and a subsequent decision
by Town Meeting to authorize dissolution, or a TID may be dissolved upon request by the Town
Manager for a dissolution vote by Town Meeting. If the TID involves more than one
municipality, said petition or request must be made in the lead municipality.
In order to be considered by Town Meeting, a petition to dissolve a TID shall contain the
signatures of the fee-paying property owners whose properties represent at least 51 per cent of
the total assessed value within the TID and at least 51 per cent of the fee-paying property owners
within the TID.
The Select Board shall hold a public hearing within 30 days of receipt of a completed dissolution
petition.
Following the public hearing, the Select Board shall then refer the matter to Town Meeting
which by vote of a majority may then determine the TID dissolved; provided, however, that no
TID shall be dissolved until it has satisfied or paid in full all of its outstanding indebtedness,
obligations, and liabilities, or until funds are on deposit and available therefor, or until a
repayment schedule has been formulated and municipally approved therefor. The TID shall be
prohibited from incurring any new or increased financial obligations after its dissolution.
Upon the dissolution of a TID, any remaining revenues derived from the sale of assets acquired
with fees collected shall be refunded to the property owners in the TID in which fees were
charged by applying the same formula used to calculate the fee in the fiscal year in which the
TID is dissolved.
In the event Lexington desires to withdraw from a TID involving more than one municipality, it
may, by petition containing the signatures of the fee-paying owners whose properties represent at
least 51 per cent of the assessed value within the TID and at least 51 per cent of the fee-paying
property owners within the district, seek a dissolution vote from Town Meeting. If Lexington is
not the lead municipality, upon such approval from Town Meeting, Lexington shall then also

withdrawal.

6.2 HISTORIC PRESERVATION INCENTIVES
6.2.1 Purpose.
The general objectives of this section are to:
1. Encourage preservation of buildings, structures, sites, settings, and other elements of
historical or architectural significance;
2. Establish eligibility criteria for buildings, structures, sites, settings, and other
elements attaining protected status under §6.2.2;
3. Expand economic options for owners, by broadening the permitted uses in various
zoning districts and removing barriers presented by development standards governing
those uses;
4. Permit flexibility of development options by modifying dimensional requirements
that might be an impediment to historic preservation; and
5. Provide incentives to preserve contributory elements of historic or architectural
significance, such as settings, sites, objects, monuments, trees, or other elements.
6.2.2 Historic Eligibility Defined.
Any historic building, structure, site, setting, object, monument, tree, or any other
element of historical, architectural or cultural significance that contributes value in
establishing historical context, may qualify for eligibility under this section, if it is
included on any of the following lists or surveys:
1. National Register of Historic Places;
2. Massachusetts State Register of Historic Places;
3. Lexington Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey; or
4. Pending nominations in good standing to the National or State Register.
6.2.3 Review by Historical Commission.
The Historical Commission shall review applications and advise the SPGA on whether,
in the Commission's view, the proposed renovation, repair, adaptive reuse, or relocation
preserves the historical and architectural features of the building, structure, or elements if
renovated or relocated according to the plans.
6.2.4 Special Permit.
The SPGA, after making the findings required by §6.2.5 below, may grant a special
permit to authorize the following uses and activities in order to allow the renovation,
repair, adaptive reuse or, in limited instances, relocation of historic or architecturally
significant buildings, structures, or elements:
1. Permit uses permitted in another district but not as of right in the district in which the
historic or architecturally significant building, structure or element is to be located;
2. Modify the operating or development standards contained in Table 1, Permitted Uses
and Development Standards;
3. Modify the standards for bed-and-breakfast homes (§6.5), congregate living facilities
(§6.6), and accessory apartments (§6.7);
March 31, 2021 Adjourned Session of the 2021 Annual Town Meeting, cont'd...
4. Modify the dimensional controls of§4.0;
5. Modify the off-street parking and loading requirements of§5.1; and
6. Modify the landscaping, transition and screening requirements of§5.3.
6.2.5 Required Findings.
In order to grant a special permit, the SPGA shall determine that:
1. The uses or the modification of standards and requirements authorized in §6.2.4 are
necessary to maintain the historic or architecturally significant building, structure, or
element;
2. The proposed renovation, repair, adaptive reuse, or relocation preserves, to the
maximum extent feasible, the historical and architectural features of the building,
structure, or element;
3. For relocation of buildings, structures and elements to another location, no other
preservation measures are practical or reasonable, on the existing site;
4. The historical and architectural features of the building, structure, or element will be
preserved for the duration of the special permit;
5. Failure to grant the special permit is likely to result in inappropriate use or physical
modification or demolition of the building, structure, or element; and
6. The use or the modification of standards and requirements will not generate negative
impacts to the surrounding area or zoning district or that any negative impacts
generated may be feasibly mitigated.
6.2.6 Contributory Lots.
For one or more lots that do not otherwise qualify under §6.2.2, the SPGA may grant a
special permit to modify the standards of§3.3, 6.3, 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3; the dimensional
controls of§ 4.0; the landscaping, transition and screening requirements of§5.3; and the
off-street parking and loading requirements of§5.1, provided that the SPGA makes a

incorporates the design characteristics of a contemporary business park; is adaptive to
various commercial, office, life/science, R&D, and high-tech uses; and integrates
sustainable materials and best practices. These Development Standards shall be utilized
for new construction, including additions or major renovations to existing structures.
Where a project proposes a major renovation of a section of a building, the unrenovated
portion of the existing building and parking shall not be required to comply with these
Development Standards.
1. Building Heights.
Goal: The C-HIP defines expectations for new development, allowing for flexibility,
and fostering high-quality, sustainable design, as follows:
a. The difference between the upper elevation of each segment of a building or
structure and the centerline grade of any street or bikeway shall be no greater
than the distance from that segment to the centerline of a street multiplied by
1.0 or to the centerline of the Minuteman Bikeway multiplied by 2.0.

small and large-scale commercial and industrial development through a diversity of
building sizes and a mixture of uses.
a. The first floor of facades facing a public right-of-way shall be varied to ensure
the design promotes activity and decrease building scale at the pedestrian
level.
b. Portions of the first floors of buildings facing a street shall be designed to
accommodate uses that interact with the streetscape.
c. The first and top floors of parking structures shall be designed with ceiling
heights that are adaptable to create usable space (ex. flex space, conference
area, fitness centers, recreation space, office space, retail, etc.) should the
building use no longer require the use of parking on those floors.
d. Parking structures shall not be allowed directly on Hartwell Avenue or
Bedford Street, unless the first floor facing the public right of way is for
commercial uses that interact with the streetscape.
3. Site Layout.
Goal: Site design and layout should foster the development of components for a
contemporary business park development. Planning and design of the development
site should provide an approach that adapts the development program and site
requirements to the characteristics and constraints of the site.
a. Bedford Street front yard. Along the southwesterly side of Bedford Street
there shall be a front yard of 70 feet measured from the base line of Bedford
Street as shown on the Commonwealth of Massachusetts layout 4689, dated

8. Add a new §7.5 as follows (new text is not underlined):
7.5 Hartwell Innovation Park (C-HIP District)
7.5.7 Purpose and Intent
The Hartwell Innovation Park(C-HIP District), one of Lexington's major employment
centers, possesses excellent opportunities for entrepreneurs and well-established
businesses that promote diversity for industries such as technology, light manufacturing,
research and development, and supporting businesses. The C-HIP District rejuvenates an
existing economic center by balancing a by-right permitting process for desired uses and
aggressive dimensional standards with strict adherence to sustainable building practices,
design guidelines, and other regulations.
7.5.8 Compliance
Projects within the C-HIP District shall comply with this section. Wherever a conflict
exists between two sections of this Bylaw, this §7.5 shall prevail.
7.5.9 Design Regulations and Guidelines
The Planning Board shall promulgate, after public notice and hearing, Planning Board
Regulations and C-HIP Design Guidelines to effectuate the purposes and intent of this
section. The Planning Board Regulations and the C-HIP Design Guidelines shall guide
Applicants when planning development and redevelopment projects. Such Planning
Board Regulations and C-HIP Guidelines shall provide requirements and guidance for,
among other things, designing sustainable projects, outdoor amenity space, landscaping,
site layout and design, and low energy device utilization.
7.5.10 Development Standards
The following C-HIP Development Standards are intended to promote development that
incorporates the design characteristics of a contemporary business park; is adaptive to
various commercial, office, life/science, R&D, and high-tech uses; and integrates
March 31, 2021 Adjourned Session of the 2021 Annual Town Meeting, cont'd...
sustainable materials and best practices. These Development Standards shall be utilized
for new construction, including additions or major renovations to existing structures.
Where a project proposes a major renovation of a section of a building, the unrenovated
portion of the existing building and parking shall not be required to comply with these
Development Standards.
9. Building Heights.
Goal: The C-HIP defines expectations for new development, allowing for flexibility,
and fostering high-quality, sustainable design, as follows:
a. The difference between the upper elevation of each segment of a building or
structure and the centerline grade of any street or bikeway shall be no greater
than the distance from that segment to the centerline of a street multiplied by
1.0 or to the centerline of the Minuteman Bikeway multiplied by 2.0.
b. Portions of buildings within fifty (50) feet of a residential zoning district are
limited to fifty (50) feet in height.
c. Buildings that are not designed to meet the requirements to demonstrate
certifiability at the Silver level using the LEED v4 for Building Design and
Construction: Core and Shell checklist, as outlined by the U. S. Green
Building Council, are limited to sixty-five (65) feet in height.
d. Buildings utilizing on-site combustion for HVAC system operation are limited
to six (6) stories.
e. Buildings over sixty-five (65) feet shall utilize, as a primary heating system,
an HVAC system that does not use on-site combustion which has a minimum
heating capacity of seven (7) British thermal units (Btu)per hour per gross
square foot or equal to the building's design heating load, whichever is lower.
Any additional heating capacity above seven (7) British thermal units (Btu)
per hour per gross square foot may utilize on-site combustion. This subsection
7.5.4.1e shall not apply to systems not related to building heating, such as
emergency backup power generators, humidification, and process equipment.
10. Design Mixture for Diversity.
Goal: The C-HIP requires design methods or strategies that ensure opportunity for
small and large-scale commercial and industrial development through a diversity of
building sizes and a mixture of uses.
a. The first floor of facades facing a public right-of-way shall be varied to ensure
the design promotes activity and decrease building scale at the pedestrian
level.
b. Portions of the first floors of buildings facing a street shall be designed to
accommodate uses that interact with the streetscape.
c. The first and top floors of parking structures shall be designed with ceiling
heights that are adaptable to create usable space (ex. flex space, conference
area, fitness centers, recreation space, office space, retail, etc.) should the
building use no longer require the use of parking on those floors.
d. Parking structures shall not be allowed directly on Hartwell Avenue or
Bedford Street, unless the first floor facing the public right of way is for
commercial uses that interact with the streetscape.
11. Site Layout.
Goal: Site design and layout should foster the development of components for a
contemporary business park development. Planning and design of the development
site should provide an approach that adapts the development program and site
requirements to the characteristics and constraints of the site.
a. Bedford Street front yard. Along the southwesterly side of Bedford Street
there shall be a front yard of 70 feet measured from the base line of Bedford
Street as shown on the Commonwealth of Massachusetts layout 4689, dated
June 3, 1958, and shown as auxiliary base line "F" on the State Highway
Alteration layout 5016, dated August 30, 1960.

quality private and publicly-oriented open spaces that contribute to the vitality of the
district and provide opportunities for employees, visitors, and residents to enjoy
passive and active recreational spaces.
d. At least 15% of the developable site area of each lot shall be devoted to
outdoor amenities, including but not limited to courtyards, street-side or
rooftop terraces, plazas, and habitat areas.
i. When a Conservation Restriction is granted for the area within the
developable site area, such area shall be counted towards the outdoor
amenity space.
ii. Rooftop terraces, balconies, and other outdoor amenities attached
structurally to a building shall only be counted for a maximum of fifty
(50) percent of the required outdoor amenities.
e. Outdoor amenities may be available for use by the general public or private to
a specific user or users.
f. If multiple lots share outdoor amenity areas subject to a written agreement, the
outdoor amenity requirement shall be reduced to ten percent (10%).

a. Surface off-street parking located within fifty (50) feet of a residential district
line, street line, natural area, or wetland area shall be separated from such area
by a fifteen (15) foot buffer for the planting of native or hybrid native trees
with a size minimum three (3) inch caliper tree every thirty (30) feet.
b. The total number and size of loading bays, per §5.1.5, may be reduced
through a request to the Planning Board during site plan review when a
decrease in size or number of loading bays furthers the purposes of this
section.
14. Site Circulation.
Goal: The purpose is to enhance the relationship and design of buildings, parking, site
circulation, open spaces, and the interface with other buildings and properties in the
C-HIP District.
a. Pedestrian and bicycle routes and amenities shall be physically separated from
internal drives, driveways, maneuvering aisles, and off-street parking spaces.
15. Sustainable and Net Neutral Environmental Impacts
Goal: Lexington is committed to being a leader in sustainability through Town-wide
efforts to achieve net-zero, carbon-neutral, and low impact design for all development
to protect the health, safety, or welfare of the community and environment. The goal
is to incorporate climate-sensitive and environmentally-conscious design
considerations to create healthier, more productive, and more sustainable places to
live and work.
a. Sustainable Site Design. All projects shall demonstrate to the greatest extent
feasible the utilization of the Low Impact Development (LID), best
management landscape design, and green site design features to reduce
adverse impacts to the environment and public while aiding in the mitigation
and management of stormwater, site design that manages and protects natural
constraints, thermal pollution, and non-point and point source pollution.
b. Sustainability Checklist. Regardless of the height and waivers granted herein,
all projects are expected to meet requirements for sustainable design, water

indoor environmental quality. The Planning Board shall promulgate
regulations requiring applicants to submit plans and a narrative description
prepared by an engineer, architect, or landscape architect licensed in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts that indicates to what extent the project will
meet the Town's sustainability performance objectives.
16. Infrastructure and Utilities.
a. Roofs within the C-HIP District shall be designed to hold rooftop mechanical
equipment to the extent practicable. Where space exists, vacant roof space
shall be utilized for best practice sustainable features such as equipment for
alternative energy generation or stormwater collection and retention.

ground except for Solar Energy Systems, which do not require screening.
c. All electric power lines and communication lines shall be placed underground.
Utility equipment shall be screened from the public view using architectural
forms, fencing, or landscape materials.
d. Utility areas for electrical transformers, switch boxes, and other associated
utility cabinets shall be designed to accommodate future expansion of services
to meet the demands for future Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers and other
sustainable infrastructure as demand grows.

7.5.12 Hartwell Innovation Park Review
The Planning Board shall perform a review of the C-HIP District and the Lexington
Zoning Map commencing no later than July 1, 2025, and to be concluded by December
31, 2025, and every five (5) years thereafter. Furthermore, the Planning Board shall
conduct an annual review of Planning Board Regulations and Guidelines associated with
the C-HIP District.

For building permits that authorize modification of existing structures, the building
commissioner of the Town of Lexington shall determine the applicable excess gross floor area.
If the building permit authorizes both commercial and residential uses, the square footage of the
structure dedicated to residential use shall not be included in the calculation of excess gross floor
area for purposes of this Act.
SECTION 2: The Select Board of the Town of Lexington shall determine the amount of the
community housing surcharge, which shall be applied on a dollars-per-square-foot basis on the
certified total excess gross floor area of the structure or structures permitted by an applicable
building permit. The Select Board shall prepare a study to determine the initial surcharge rate
range and shall set an initial surcharge rate within twelve (12) months of the effective date of this
act. The Select Board or its designee shall adjust the rate of the surcharge annually for inflation.
SECTION 3: The Town Manager of the Town of Lexington or their designee shall prepare a
study every five (5) years to determine the suitability, effect, and amount of the surcharge, and
recommend to the Select Board any possible changes necessary to address changing demand for
community housing. The Town Manager or their designee shall also prepare and issue an annual
report that identifies surcharge receipts, quantifies the attributes of community housing projects
funded by the community housing surcharge, and evaluates the impact of said housing projects.
SECTION 4: The Select Board of the Town of Lexington may adopt additional requirements,
exemptions, and regulations to implement or enforce said community housing surcharge,
consistent with this act.
SECTION 5. The community housing surcharge required by this act must be paid in three (3)
equal installments whose amounts shall be determined at the time of levy, with one payment
required per annum. The building commissioner of the Town of Lexington shall not issue a
certificate of occupancy for real property subject to this act before the first installment of the
community housing surcharge has been paid. The second and third installments must be paid
annually on the anniversary of the first payment, or the next business day if that date falls on a
weekend or federal, state, or local holiday. The building commissioner of the Town of
Lexington shall levy fines for development that is not in compliance with the provisions of this
act, and shall consider each day of noncompliance as a separate offense.
SECTION 6: All surcharges and fines received pursuant to this act shall be deposited into the
Town of Lexington Affordable Housing Capital Stabilization Fund or an affordable housing trust
established by the Town pursuant to section 55C of chapter 44 of the General Laws or any
