Zoning Bylaw Amendment 19-829: District Enumerated-Creation of Mixed Business Innovation Zoning District-Referral to the Planning Board ( Motion to Refer Zoning Bylaw Amendment 19-829 to the Planning Board- Majority Vote (5))

one of a series of 6 for the creation of the Mixed Business Innovation district

enhance district, remove the heavy manufacturing and hazmat issues currently available in the zone today

adds three new use types: craft, maker space, business incubator

looking to reuse the buildings rather than to allow them to be razed and more a strip mall type building approached

Kelly - would prefer to have some residential aspect for Planning Board consideration in this as well

Dellorco - agrees with Kelly, does limit it

Earls - good as is, we could come back and add a residential component

Padula - what was objection to inclusion of residential?

Taberner - Fire Chief asked to not include residential; residential in this current building is not a good idea; we can deal with it if someone comes in with it. It is allowing multiple options for the current plan; some of the adjourning owners are aligned with this, some less so but will be part of the open hearing process with the Planning Board

Jones - arguing for inclusion of the residential aspect

Hellen - taking the zone from what it is to a better spot, maybe it is not residential; 

Nutting - if you include residential, it will come in as condos; we already have 1,000 units on the plans, we don't need more

Kelly - I am not at all saying I want housing on that site, it can go via special permit; we need to create some kind of affordable housing in Franklin

Padula - I think it is a good use of the property


Paul DiBaggis - in general, my reaction was this is what town planners should be doing. Maybe residential aspect, not a killing point, getting more there is the way to go; there are over 100 uses and except for 2-3 of them I agree

Beth Wirling, 164 Main St
work is well done put forward, residential doesn't make sense; would be wonderful to have artist space but maybe not in this space

Kit Brady - Cultural District Committee, this is adjacent to the Cultural District, it could help support the district as it is proposed, no need for residential; we support this proposal as a Cultural District Committee

motion to waive reading, seconded, passed 9-0

motion to referral to Planning Board, seconded, passed 9-0

10g. LEGISLATION FOR ACTION
Zoning Bylaw Amendment 19-830: Use Regulations- Mixed Business Innovation Zoning District - Referral to the Planning Board (Motion to Refer Zoning Bylaw Amendment 19-830 to the Planning Board- Majority Vote (5))

Paul DiBaggis - only exception is one, quite well done, page 4 of the 11 pages; MBI - already are in the R5 district, GR5, three uses added in - don't want to see these three added to the R5

Taberner - Planning Board special permit, new uses to be added need to be added to the table; one other individual had similar concerns; in comparison to the other allowed uses, it is not a stretch for these three

Hellen - R5 is a small section, we are fine with N in those

propose amendment a change on p4 of 11, zoning use schedule 2.24 etc from PB to letter N for no
seconded, passed 9-0
