Chapter 199 zoning

§ 199-21 ZONING § 199-23
(2) Off-street parking spaces and loading and unloading spaces shall conform to the provisions of
Sections 199-39 through 199-44. The SPGA may grant waivers if existing parking does not meet
current parking requirements and additional space would be a detriment to compatibility of
neighborhood character.
(3) All proposed signs shall comply with Section 199-28 of the Bylaw, excepting that if the building
and land on which situated are located in a single family district, the Special Permit Granting
Authority may permit a sign of no larger than 6 square feet which identifies only the building
and its occupants.
F. Additional Conditions
The SPGA may attach such additional conditions and limitations to a Special Permit granted under this
Section as may be necessary to protect the neighborhood surrounding the property, and as may be
necessary to encourage the most appropriate use of the land and building to be converted.
ARTICLE IV
Intensity Regulations
§ 199-21. Dimensional requirements. [Amended 6-17-1992 STM by Art. 8]
No building or structure hereafter erected shall be located on a lot having less than the minimum
requirements set forth in the Table of Dimensional Requirements located at the end of this chapter. Not
more than one dwelling shall be located upon any such lot, except in the case of multiple dwellings as
provided in Article DC of this chapter. In the case of public, institutional, commercial or industrial
buildings, a group of buildings under the same ownership may be considered as occupying the same lot.
No existing lot shall be changed as to size or shape so as to result in a violation of the requirements set
forth in the Table of Dimensional Requirements.
A. It will be understood that no lot will be considered adequate until it is first ascertained by the Board
of Health through its proper agent by percolation tests, etc., that proper drainage and sewage disposal
can be installed and maintained.
B. No lot minimum will be given for nonresidential buildings in Business and Downtown Commercial
Business Corridor Districts. However, these dimensions will be left up to the administrators of this
chapter after consultation with the parties concerned. The type of business and the inclusion of
adequate parking facilities, etc., would be an important factor in this decision in each individual case.
[Amended 2-9-1995 STM by Art. 15]
C. No height maximums will be given for buildings in Industrial Districts. However, these heights will
be decided by the administrators of this chapter after consultation with the parties concerned.
D. An existing lot or parcel of land having an area or a frontage of lesser amount than r required by this
table may be considered as coming within the area and frontage requirements of this section if it
complies with the provision of MGL c. 40A, Section 6, as amended. [Amended 5-11-1995 ATM by
Art. 23]
E. All measurements for depth of front yards will be from the right-of-way line where a plan of the way
is on file with the Registry of Deeds or, in the absence of such a plan, from a line 25 feet from and
parallel to the center line of the traveled way.
