Somerville, MA 02143
Premises Affected: 21 High Street, North Andover, MA 01845, within the Industrial-S
Zoning District, Map 69, Parcel 1 and 10.
HISTORY AND BACKGROUND
On May 20, 2008, the applicant applied for and received approval for a Planned Development
Special Permit under the requirements of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw, section 11, 10.3,
10.31 and MGL C40A, section 9, so as to allow for the construction of Phase ILA of mixed-use
redevelopment which included the renovation and conversion of approximately 65,000 s.f. of
existing vacant space to fifty (50) residential one and two bedroom units, the conversion of other
space within the existing building to commercial uses, expansion of surface parking to add 149
new spaces, landscaping and access improvement, drainage and stormwater management
improvement, and other improvements as described in "Plans" cited below.
After a discussion with the Planning Board regarding a modification to those plans, the Planning
Board voted unanimously to APPROVE an INSUBSTANTIAL CHANGE to the above noted
Planned Development District Special Permit.
At the Planning Board meeting of December 14, 2010, David Steinberg, representing RCG North
Andover Mills LLC, described to the board his plans to renovate one of the mixed-use buildings
on the site at 21 High St, into residential use, as opposed to commercial use, as originally
specified in the Application for Definitive Plan Approval for Planned Development District
(PDD) Special Permit Phase 11A. The change would allow the applicant to create 8 new
residential units in a building located at 43 High Street, previously designated for commercial
use.
