Zoning

New zoning must be developed in order to enable this proposed redevelopment. Town staff worked with selected Members of the Planning Board to develop a master planned mixed-use zoning overlay district, which will need to be approved by Town Meeting. This approach would keep current zoning in place, but enable an applicant to seek local approvals under zoning that will be "overlaid" atop the current zoning.

The Royal Crest Estates property is currently zoned as Residence 5 (R5). Click here for text from the Town's current Zoning Bylaw that governs the R5 Zoning District.

A "zoning working group" was established, which included Town staff, two representatives of the Planning Board, and a representative of the Select Board.
