RE: 1018 Osgood Zoning Analysis
DATE: March 12, 2012
The following is a summary of the existing zoning in the immediate area surrounding 8 Marblehead St:
The
parcel is currently zoned Industrial – S.
The parcel contains an abandoned 9,000 sq. ft. building that looks like it had been used for offices and warehousing.
This zoning allows, among
other uses, research and development; light manufacturing; printing and reproduction; business and professional office; bank, post office; warehousing and wholesaling; by Special Permit
gas station, restaurant, retail food but not other retail store of any kind.
The parcel abuts the rail line and Sutton St. on one side. There are 4 additional parcels zoned Industrial-S:
The
other businesses in the Industrial-S include a construction contractor, Callahan AC/Heating and a building containing various electrical, plumbing and construction contractors. The
construction contractor abuts this parcel to the east.
Across the street from the parcel, also zoned Industrial-S is a dance studio.
The local area is mainly residential, zoned as Residence-4
The
neighborhood is in the northwest corner of the town, abutting Lawrence and 495. The homes are older, with a mix of single and two-family.
The Building Inspector recommends changing
the Zoning for Industrial-S to allow retail stores of any kind with a Special Permit.
