nationally for their manufacture.

devoted to the sale of food products for home preparation and consumption, which typically also offers
home care and personal care products.

Chapter 78B. Pierce-Lockwood Neighborhood Conservation District
§ 78B-1. PURPOSE
Pursuant to Chapter 78 of the Code of the Town of Lexington, this Chapter 78B describes the regulations
and procedures associated with the administration of the Pierce-Lockwood Neighborhood Conservation
District("PLNCD'). The goals of the PLNCD are to preserve the architectural style and general size of the
homes, and to emphasize the role the PLNCD played in the historical development of Lexington. The goals
can best be described with the words, "coherence,” 'proportion,"and "aesthetics."
Coherence is defined as having a sense of logical interconnectedness, consistency and harmony among parts.
There is a balance between a home's uniqueness and its commonality with surrounding houses. This balance
April 11, 2018 Adjourned Session of the 2018 Annual Town Meeting, cont...
is vital to the neighborhood's identity. Architectural changes should maintain a harmony amongparts, as
well as a consistency with the architectural style of the surrounding homes.
Proportion is defined as having a comparative proper relation between elements or magnitudes such as size,
quantity, ratio and number. A change in size leading to a large massing in relation to the size of surrounding
Buildings and Structures means, taken as a whole, the Building or Structure is out of proportion to the
neighborhood. Further, an addition that creates a change in size may detract from the original shape,
affecting its aesthetics.
A neighborhood's sense of beauty is indeed its homes'uniqueness within commonality and includes
considerations such as architectural style, shape, original windows, open porches and landscaping thatfits
within the natural beauty surrounding the Pierce-Lockwood NCD. It is defined by the history of the area, its
relationship to the East Village Historic District and to historical Lexington.

ARTICLE 42: AMEND ZONING BYLAW - SPECIAL PERMIT RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENTS (Citizen Article)
MOTION: To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning Bylaw to alter the rules for special
permit residential developments to require affordable and age restricted housing; to
limit the developable site area, unit size, and number of units allowed; and to set
standards for the preservation of environmental features and other site attributes; or act
in any other manner in relation thereto.
(Inserted by Matthew Daggett and 9 or more registered voters)
DESCRIPTION
This article proposes revisions to the regulation of discretionary Special Permit Residential Developments,
authorized under § 135-6.9 of the Zoning Bylaw. The intent of the proposal is to amend the Bylaw to better
address specific residential development needs in Lexington that are not being met by the current regulatory
framework. The premise for these revisions is to ensure that the Town, its residents, and applicants all share in
the benefits from residential developments achieved through relaxed dimensional controls, enabled by the
special permitting process. The proposal amends the bylaw in 3 primary ways:
1. Balanced Housing Developments (BHD) and Public Benefit Developments (PBD) are combined into
Shared Benefit Developments (SBD), a new special permit type that requires affordable housing units,
units built to accessibility standards, smaller unit sizes and minimum requirements for public open
space.
2. The total Gross Floor Area(GFA) on site for SBDs is reduced to a percentage of that allowed in a
conventional development.
3. A limit is placed on the total number of dwelling units that will be allowed on a site in a SBD, as
currently there is no maximum.

That the Zoning Bylaw, Chapter 135 of the Code of the Town of Lexington, be amended as follows:

which is diversified with respect to number of persons in a household, stage of life, and income;
3. Encourage the development of affordable housing;
4. Promote development proposals designed with sensitivity to the characteristics of the site that
otherwise might be limited by application of uniform, largely geometric standards;

6.9.2 Applicability. A special permit residential development is a project in which one or more lots, tracts, or
parcels of land are to be improved for use as a coordinated site for housing. No special permit
residential development shall be initiated without first obtaining a special permit in accordance with the
provisions of this section. The purpose of the special permit is to provide detailed review of residential
developments that have a substantial impact upon the character of the Town, adjacent residential areas
and the provision of public facilities and services.
6.9.3 Types of Special Permit Residential Development.
I. A Site Sensitive Development(SSD)is the development of a parcel with configurations of lots
allowing flexibility and creativity in residential development through reductions in minimum lot
area and frontage requirements in order to minimize site disturbance,preserve historic and sensitive
natural resources, and allow for efficient patterns of construction to lower development cost. The
number of dwellings in a site sensitive development may not exceed the number of dwellings that
could be constructed in the development of a conventional subdivision.
2. A Shared Benefit Development(SBD)is a development allowing deviation from the dimensional
standards that apply to developments in conventional subdivisions in order to achieve a spectrum of
housing choices for a diversity of household types and sizes in a manner that benefits both the
applicant and the Town. Instead of determining density by minimum lot area and frontage
April 11, 2018 Adjourned Session of the 2018 Annual Town Meeting, cont...
requirements, the amount of residential development for the tract as a whole is derived from a fully
complying conventional development proof plan, based on the number of individual proof lots and
calculations of gross floor area and impervious surface area.
6.9.4 Scale of Development and Dwelling Unit Count. An applicant is not entitled to the maximum
development, nor is the applicant entitled to approval of a special permit residential development. The
amount of development permitted will be based on a fully complying proof plan and the Special Permit
Granting Authority's (SPGA) evaluation of the extent to which the proposed development complies with
the criteria set forth-below.
1. Site Sensitive Developments. The number of dwellings in a SSD shall not exceed the number of
dwellings shown on the proof plan.
2. Shared Benefit Developments. The number of dwellings in a SBD shall have a unit multiplier of
either 1.5 or 2 times the number of proof plan lots. The required number shall be rounded up.
6.9.5 Accessible Housing. Certain dwelling units must be constructed to comply with the applicable
accessibility standard practices as defined by the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board.
Applicable standards will be determined by the SPGA, and applied as follows:
1. Site Sensitive Developments. SSDs shall not require units be built to accessible standards.
2. Shared Benefit Developments. SBDs with a unit multiplier of 1.5 shall require a minimum of 15%
accessible units and SBDs with a unit multiplier of 2 shall require a minimum of 20% accessible
units. The required number shall be rounded down.
6.9.6 Affordable Housing. Certain dwelling units must be eligible for inclusion on the Massachusetts
Department of Housing and Community Development's (DHCD) Subsidized Housing Inventory(SHI),
as follows:
1. Site Sensitive Developments. SSDs shall not require affordable units.
2. Shared Benefit Developments. SBDs with a unit multiplier of 1.5 shall require a minimum of 15%
affordable units, and SBDs with a unit multiplier of 2 shall require a minimum of 20% affordable
units. The required number shall be rounded up. Affordable units must comply with the following
criteria:
a. An affordable unit shall be subject to maximum household income established for that unit,
based on the Area Median Income (AMI) as annually determined by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development, assuming one more person in the household than the number
of bedrooms in the unit. Eligible households shall have incomes no greater than 80% of the
AMI.
b. Affordable units can be built to accessible standards,provided that no unit may be counted as
both an affordable unit and an accessible unit to satisfy the minimum percentages required.
c. Affordable units must be interspersed throughout the site with the non-affordable units, and
cannot be clustered into one area of the development.
d. Construction may not be phased such that an affordable dwelling unit is the last unit(s) to
receive a Certificate of Occupancy in the development.
6.9.7 Dimensional Standards. The requirements of§ 135-4.0 are modified as follows:
1. Lot area. There is no minimum lot area required. Individual lot area shall be sufficient to meet off-
street parking requirements of this bylaw and the installation of any on-site water supply and
sewage disposal facilities.
2. Frontage. There is no minimum frontage required. Frontage for each lot shall be sufficient to
provide for adequate access to the building site. Where shared driveways or other circumstances
render frontage on a street to be of no importance, none is required.
3. Yard and Height Requirements. Yards required by § 135-4.0 and the height limit of§ 135-4.3.5
apply to the perimeter of the site, but are not applicable within the site.
4. Site coverage. There is no maximum site coverage limit for individual lots. Site coverage for the
development tract as a whole is limited as described below.
6.9.8 Gross Floor Area Standards.
1. Site Sensitive Developments. The total gross floor area(GFA)in a SSD may not exceed the sum of
the GFA that would be permitted on each of the lots shown on the proof plan under § 135-4.4 of this
bylaw.
April 11, 2018 Adjourned Session of the 2018 Annual Town Meeting, cont...
2. Shared Benefit Developments. The total GFA in a SBD may not exceed 90% of the sum of the
GFA that would be permitted on each of the lots shown on the proof plan under § 135-4.4 of this
bylaw for a unit multiplier of 1.5, and shall not exceed 80%proof plan GFA for a unit multiplier of
2.
6.9.9 Dwelling Unit Count and Limitations on Unit Size.
1. Site Sensitive Developments. The number of dwellings in a SSD shall not exceed the number of
dwellings shown on the proof plan.
2. Shared Benefit Developments. At least 25% of the dwelling units must have a GFA not larger than
2,100 square feet, and at least 50% of the dwelling units must have a GFA not larger than 2,700
square feet. The remaining 50% of the dwelling units must have a total GFA no larger than the
remainder of the total reduced allowable site GFA as defined under § 6.9.8 less the total GFA from
the 50% of units required to be less than 2,700 square feet in size. This residual GFA can be
distributed among the remaining 50% of the units allowed under § 6.9.4,with no units larger than
7,030 square feet in the RS or RT districts, or 9,350 square feet in the RO district.
6.9.10 Impervious Surface Standards.
1. Site Sensitive Developments. The impervious surface limit in a SSD is based on the proof plan.
The limit for the development as a whole is calculated as follows:
Step 1: Determine the area in square feet of each lot shown on the proof plan. For each lot in a RS
or RT District, multiply its lot area by 0.20; for each lot in the RO District, multiply its lot area by
0.12.
Step 2: Determine the total area of the impervious surfaces contained on the proof plan that are not
contained within lots, such as roads, sidewalks, and similar surfaces.
Step 3: The impervious surface limit for the SSD is the sum of the impervious surface calculations
from Steps 1 and 2.
2. Shared Benefit Developments. The impervious surface limit in a SBD is calculated in the same
manner as that of a SSD.
6.9.11 Site Coverage Standards.
1. Site Sensitive Developments. The site coverage limit is based on the proof plan. The limit for the
development as a whole is calculated as follows:
Step 1: For each lot on the proof plan, multiply its lot area in square feet by 0.15 for lots in RS and
RT Districts, and by 0.09 for lots in RO Districts.
Step 2: The site coverage limit for the SSD as a whole is equal to the sum of the individual lot site
coverage calculations determined in Step 1.
2. Shared Benefit Developments. There is no site coverage limit.
6.9.12 Common Open Space Standards.
1. Minimum common open space. At least 35% of the developable site area in a SBD shall be set
aside as common open space for a unit multiplier of 1.5, and at least 40% of the developable site
area for a unit multiplier of 2. A maximum of 20% of common open space may be devoted to
parking or structures used for, or accessory to, active outdoor recreation,provided such parking or
structures are consistent with the open space uses of such land. No common open space is required
for a SSD.
2. Location; condition. Where required or provided, common open space shall be land that may be in
one or more parcels of a size and shape appropriate for the intended use and available for use by all
occupants of a development.
3. Easement. When such open space is conveyed to persons or entities other than the Town, an
easement over such land shall be granted to the Town to ensure its perpetual use as open space,
conservation, recreation, or park land.
6.9.13 Ownership of Open Space. Common open space may be conveyed to:
1. The Town, which shall have the first right of refusal of ownership, and subject to acceptance, to
ensure its perpetual use as open space, conservation, recreation or park land; or
April 11, 2018 Adjourned Session of the 2018 Annual Town Meeting, cont...
2. A legal association comprised of the owners of the development, which may include homeowners or
owners of condominium or cooperative units; or
3. A nonprofit organization, the principal purpose of which is the conservation of open space.
6.9.14 Streets and Drives. The objective of this section is that adequate access for fire-fighting, medical, and
other emergency operations be provided from the public street system to each Site Sensitive or Shared
Benefit Development, as follows:
1. Connection to public street system. Each street and interior, drive, or system of streets or interior
drives, shall connect to a public street.
2. A dead-end interior drive will be treated in the same manner as a dead-end street, and is subject to
the provisions governing dead-end streets that are found in the Subdivision Regulations.
3. In a development served by a dead-end street or dead-end interior drive, a secondary means of
access may be required in order to provide adequate access for fire-fighting, medical, and other
emergency vehicles. The Fire Chief will be consulted as to the adequacy of the access.
6.9.15 Preservation of trees. For Shared Benefit Developments, substantial effort, including revisions to site
layout and grading plans, should be made to preserve existing trees in the interior of development
parcels, where possible.
6.9.16 Compliance with Other Rules and Regulations. The construction of community services, such as utilities,
and of streets and interior drives shall comply with the requirements of the Planning Board's
Subdivision Regulations.
6.9.17 Modification by Special Permit. The SPGA may, as part of the grant of a special permit, modify the
requirements of§ 6.9.10 and § 6.9.11, and the following provisions, as they may apply to individual
dwellings or lots within a special permit residential development:

6.9.19 Accessory Apartments. The SPGA may authorize accessory apartments, as described in § 135-6.7, to be
created within a SSD.
6.9.20 Conversion. The SPGA may in connection with a Special Permit under this section, authorize an existing
structure, that was constructed at least 10 years prior to the date of application for approval of the
special permit, to be converted to a residential use not otherwise permitted. The special permit shall
incorporate by reference the building design and definitive site development plans filed with the
application for a special permit, and, where applicable, any legally binding document that has been
submitted to ensure the completion and continued availability of any proposed improvement or
compliance with special conditions. In order to grant the permit the SPGA shall determine that:
1. The structure can be modified for a residential use that does not have adverse impacts on any
adjacent one-family neighborhood;
April 11, 2018 Adjourned Session of the 2018 Annual Town Meeting, cont...
2. The exterior character of the structure is maintained and is compatible with any adjacent
neighborhood of one-family dwellings;
3. Modification of the existing structure maintains more of the site as open space than the alternative
of removal of the structure and further subdivision of the lot into house lots.
6.9.21 Special Permit Granting Authority. The Planning Board shall be the SPGA for all special permit
residential developments. The Planning Board may grant any special permits that are required for the
special permit residential development, notwithstanding provisions of this bylaw designating a different
special permit granting authority.
