Legislation to allow the Town of Lexington to prohibit or restrict the application and use of second-generation
anticoagulant rodenticides, commonly referred to as SGARs, within the Town of Lexington. SGARs are lethal
pesticides that stop the blood clotting process. Common SGAR compounds include: brodifacoum, bromadiolone,
difenacoum, and difethialone. If enacted, the petitioned special legislation would permit the Town to determine the
extent to which SGARs should be prohibited or restricted in Lexington under a future bylaw approved by Town

permanent resident of the United States, and would otherwise be eligible to vote if they were a U.S. citizen, to
register and vote in municipal elections within the Town, or to take any other action relative thereto.
(Inserted by Nathalie Huitema and 9 or more registered voters)
DESCRIPTION: This article would authorize the Select Board to petition the General Court for Home Rule

ZONING ARTICLES
ARTICLE 29 AMEND ZONING BYLAW- BICYCLE PARKING
To see if the Town will vote to amend Section 5.1.8 of the Zoning Bylaw to require bicycle parking spaces for uses
other than one-family and two-family dwellings for which they are not currently required; allow bicycle parking
requirements to be waived during site plan review; or act in any other manner in relation thereto.
(Inserted by the Select Board at the request of the Planning Board)
DESCRIPTION: This article would expand on section 5.1.8 of the Zoning Bylaw to require bicycle parking spaces
for additional uses. Presently, the Zoning Bylaw requires bicycle parking spaces only for office, manufacturing,
research, and laboratory uses. This amendment would require bicycle parking spaces for all uses other than one-
family and two-family dwellings. In addition, it would permit the Planning Board to waive bicycle parking
requirements during the site plan review process.
ARTICLE 30 AMEND ZONING BYLAW- INCLUSIONARY HOUSING FOR SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENTS

(Inserted by the Select Board at the request of the Planning Board)
DESCRIPTION: This article would amend the Zoning Bylaw pertaining to how the amount of required inclusionary
housing would be calculated using a special residential development's total proposed gross floor area rather than
using the maximum buildout gross floor area as shown on the proof plan.

reference updated FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMS); update Zoning Bylaw Sections 7.1 [National Flood

permit requirements and related definitions; or act in any other manner in relation thereto.
(Inserted by the Select Board at the request of the Planning Board)
DESCRIPTION: This amendment will modify the Zoning Map and Sections 7.1 and 10.0 of the Zoning Bylaw to
reference the most recent maps issued by FEMA, to comply with FEMA's recommended standards, and update
definitions.
13
ARTICLE 32 AMEND ZONING BYLAW AND MAP- TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS
To see if the Town will vote to approve certain amendments to the Zoning Bylaw and Zoning Map that are clerical
in nature to correct any typographical errors, create consistency, or make other non-substantive changes; or act in
any other manner in relation thereto.
(Inserted by the Select Board at the request of the Planning Board)
DESCRIPTION: This article would not change the Zoning Bylaw or Zoning Map in any substantive way,but would
correct typos, changes to section references for consistency, and correct any errors discovered during the public
hearing process for zoning amendments.
ARTICLE 33 AMEND ZONING BYLAW-ACCESSORY USES
To see if the Town will vote to amend Section 3.2.1 of the Zoning Bylaw by removing the phrase, "and complies
with all other Town bylaws or General Laws," or take any other action in related thereto.
(Inserted by the Select Board)
DESCRIPTION: This article would modify the Zoning Bylaw to clarify that the ZBA and other entities are not
required to enforce all of the Code of Lexington, leaving proper enforcement to the designated and relevant entities.
ARTICLE 34 AMEND SECTION 7.5 OF THE ZONING BYLAW TO REDUCE MULTI-FAMILY
DWELLING UNIT CAPACITY(Citizen Petition)
To see if the Town will vote to: (1) amend Section 7.5 of the Zoning Bylaw and Map to reduce the multi-
family dwelling unit capacity it allows by making changes to said section including, but not limited to,
reduction or removal of districts, modification of height, setback and other dimensional standards,
modification of parking requirements, and imposition of density limits; and (2)place a temporary
moratorium, in order to allow the Town a sufficient opportunity to reexamine the operational, capital,
financial, and other impacts of Section 7.5 on the Town, on: (a) developments permitted subject to site
plan review under Section 7.5, and (b) applications for preliminary or definitive subdivision plans, insofar
as such applications are submitted to freeze zoning requirements under Section 7.5; or act in any other
manner in relation thereto.
(Inserted by Carol Sacerdote and 9 or more registered voters)
DESCRIPTION: This article would allow amendment of the Zoning Bylaw and Map adopted under Article 34 of
the 2023 Annual Town Meeting,which provides for MBTA Communities overlay districts. The Executive Office of
Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC) has specified a target capacity for Lexington, under the MBTA
Communities Act, G.L. c. 40A, §3A, of 1,231 new multifamily dwelling units. EOHLC subsequently certified that
the capacity created by the adoption of Section 7.5 is 12,546 units. This number of units, if fully built out, would
double the number of dwelling units in Lexington. The goal of this article is to amend Section 7.5 to reduce its
development capacity to a level closer to the state's target, and thereby reduce potential worst-case impacts on the
Town, including financial impacts, while complying fully with the MBTA Zoning Act. Alternatively, or in addition,
this article seeks a temporary moratorium on the development of new projects for a time sufficient to allow a
reexamination of the impacts of Section 7.5 on the Town.
And you are directed to serve this warrant not less than seven days at least before the time of said meeting, as provided in the
Bylaws of the Town.
Hereof fail not, and make due return on this warrant,with your doings thereon,to the Town Clerk,on or before the time of said
meeting.
Given under our hands at Lexington this 27th day of January 2025.

DEBORAH BROWN
December 30, 2024 DELIVERED BY EMAIL
Dear Select Board Members,
Pursuant to Massachusetts Section 26 of Chapter 22 of the Acts of 2022, as amended by Section
47 of Chapter 2 of the Acts of 2023, I request approval to conduct the 2025 Annual Town
Meeting as a hybrid meeting. I propose to use a combination of: (1)the Zoom videoconferencing
platform, (2)the online voting tool developed by Select Board member Joe Pato, and (3) an
online queuing function developed by Select Board member Joe Pato to facilitate the process of
debate.
I certify that all components of the system described above have been fully tested and utilized
successfully for prior Town Meetings, and I am satisfied that this system enables our meetings to
be conducted in substantially the same manner whether a member is participating in person or
remotely. I certify that the system for those opting for remote participation (i) allows the
moderator, town meeting members, town officials and any other interested members of the
public to identify and hear the moderator and each town meeting member who attends and
participates in the remote meeting, as well as any other individuals who participate in the
meeting; (ii)provides the ability to determine whether a quorum is present; (iii) allows
participants to request recognition by the moderator and makes such requests visible to the
meeting participants and the public; (iv) allows the moderator to determine when a town meeting
member wishes to be recognized to speak, make a motion, or raise a point of order or personal
privilege; (v) enables the moderator to recognize a town meeting member, town official or other
individual and enable that person to speak; (vi)provides the ability to conduct a roll call or
electronically recorded vote; (vii) allows any interested members of the public to access the
meeting remotely through LexMedia for purposes of witnessing the deliberations and actions
taken at the town meeting; (viii) allows members of the public to participate in debate in-person
or through the submission of statements for or against a motion; and (ix)provides for the town
meeting to be recorded and available for future viewing. I further confirm that I have consulted
with Lexington's Commission on Disability regarding system accessibility.
Sincerely,
Deborah Brown
Town Moderator
