Request to Include Article For May 10, 2004 Annual Town Meeting
(Town Division/Department)
Submitted by: Planning Department
(Name of Department/Division)
Heidi Griffin
(Name of Division Director)
Julie Parrino
(Name of Department Director, if applicable)
Date: February 10, 2004
Requested Article:
To see if the Town will amend the Zoning Bylaw to create a new Section 4.3,
Residential Adaptive Re-Use Special Permit, into the Zoning Bylaw.
Draft Motion:
To see if the Town of North Andover will vote to amend the Zoning Bylaw by
creating a new Section 4.3, Residential Adaptive Re-Use Special Permit into
the Zoning Bylaw.
Reason(s) for Article:
The article encourages the creative re-use and conversion of existing
residential structures in the R1, R2, R3 and R4 district located adjacent to
commercial and industrial parcels to a commercial use or mixed use. This will
allow the preservation of historical structures, provide for additional tax
revenue for the Town, provide flexibility to landowners and will create a
transition between residential and business areas. It will also avoid spot
zoning as homeowners come into the town requesting piecemeal rezoning.
