A City Master Plan New Bedford 2020Focus Group CommentsAs mentioned above, a zoning focus group was convened specifically to discuss zoning issues. Although someof the points are addresses elsewhere in this diagnostic, the following is a summary of other issues that wereraised, some of which can be addressed in the zoning review, while others may go beyond solely the zoningordinance.> The Chapter 91 Designated Port Area is too rigid and should be reviewed to see how flexibility can beprovided. However, this may be an issue to address with DEP.> There was some discussion about rezoning the Acushnet Ave. corridor to better reflect the ongoingdevelopment pattern along this important thoroughfare. Although there is a mix of residential andcommercial uses on the street, it is zoned commercial.> The special permit review process needs to be more sensitive to neighborhood impacts.> The Hicks-Logan-Sawyer Interim Planning Overlay District should be reviewed to see how certain types ofuses could be encouraged while incorporating design guidelines.> North End residential zoning should be reviewed to address lot size and the consolidation of lots.> Land currently zoned for industrial uses needs to be preserved for such uses rather than have it developedas mixed-use/commercial.> The City should consider incentive zoning for the waterfront whereby a developer could receive an increasein floor area ratio if there was an increase in the number of slips provided, for example.> The 2003 zoning changes resulted in a change to 8,000 square foot minimum lot size across the city, butthere are areas that should have different minimum lot sizes to better reflect existing conditions within theneighborhood.> Wellness issues should be addressed in the zoning (special permit or site plan review) by incorporatingsidewalks and pedestrian safety into development projects.> More information should be required for wireless communication facilities and more surety should berequired from developers.> The format of the zoning map should be changed to make it easier to read.> Can the application forms used by the City be improved?> Many people store boats and recreational vehicles in their yards.> Should use variances be considered to address businesses that are currently non-conforming but want toexpand or change the use?> Create an open space zoning district.Appendix B: Zoning DiagnosticB-11
