Site Location,Zoning,Access and Topographical Features(Section 3.01(b) mf the ZBA Rules) (i) Existing Conditions. Zero Prescott is located on a 6.13-acne lot (Assessors Map 68, Lot 1O) that was approved as part of the subdivision of the East Mill property within a master planned Mill Complex development that over the last 18 years has evolved from a substantially vacant office complex to a thriving mixed-use community including restaurants, apartments, and a variety of retail, medical, office and personal || services uses. The Site was historically part of about 40 acres of land comprising the Davis and Furber Machine Shop complex (the "Mill Complex") which was a manufacturing company formed in 1851 which produced carding machines, spinning jacks, and other machinery used to process wool. By the early 1860s, the expanding company built a foundry to cast metal machine parts and machinery principally for the textile industry.That Mill Complex subsequently closed in 1981, and was subsequently redeveloped in the early 1980's into an office complex for large high-technology companies by other parties. RCG and its affiliates purchased a portion of the Mill Complex in 2007, consisting of 22.8 acres of land and now known as East Mill, and which was largely vacant at the time of purchase. The Site is located within East Mill. In 2014, RCG and its affiliates purchased the second portion of the former Mill Complex, now known as West Mill, consisting of approximately 18.5 acres. Through a series of acquisitions, sales, and investments, both East Mill and West Mill have been redeveloped into a thriving mixed-use neighborhood with almost 300 apartments and a mixture of retail, restaurant, medical, and professional offices. The Site is currently improved by a 2-story parking garage building built in the early 1980's that is underutilized and in poor condition. In addition to the garage, the Site consists of parking, driveway access and open space currently providing parking associated with the Mill Complex. Below is a timeline of permits relevant to the parcel in question: • 1984: North Andover Zoning Board of Appeals issues a special permit for the construction of the current 2-story garage to support the conversion of the historic mill complex into professional office space. • 2007: RCG North Andover Mills LLC acquires the Site as a part of all the related land and mill buildings on the east side of High Street now known as East Mill. • 2007: North Andover Planning Board (NAPB) approves a Phase I Planned Development District (PDD) and Site Plan Special Permits for site improvements, roadway improvements, and a first phase of the conversion of the mill buildings to residential and retail uses. • 2008: NAPB approves a Phase II Preliminary Special Permit, proposing a master plan allowing further redevelopment of the existing East Mill buildings and two phases of ground up multi- family development, including approximately 98 units where the garage building currently sits on the Subject Property. • 2008: NAPB Approves Phase ILA Definitive PDD and Site Plan Special Permits for additional residential conversion of existing mill buildings at East Mill. • 2014: RCG West Mill NA LLC buys the mill buildings on the west side of High Street, allowing RCG LLC to expand the master plan to redevelop West Mill on behalf of the two ownership groups. • 2015:Town Meeting approves the rezoning of East Mill and West Mill under the Downtown Overlay Subdistrict A: Historic Mill Area, which applies to both East Mill and West Mill, including the Site. • 2018: NAPB approves Phase 11.13 Definitive PDD Special Permit, Site Plan Special Permit and Parking Special permit for the construction of a new 51-unit multifamily building on what is now Lot 2 of the East Mill Subdivision, and which is now owned by Avalon Bay Communities. 12 • 2020: NAPB approves Definitive Subdivision Plan establishing the 0 Prescott Street parcel as a new Lot 3 of the East Mill Subdivision ("Lot 3"). • 2021: NAPB approves Subdistrict A Definitive Master Plan Special Permit,which includes 89 residential units to be constructed on what is now known as Lot 1 of East Mill. The Site is located at the corner of High Street and Prescott Street between State Route 133/125 (Chickering Road) to the east via Prescott Street and 1-495 to the west via Sutton Street.The Site is bordered: to the north by Prescott Street and single family residences located to the north of the Site and across Prescott Street; to the east, by an existing 51-unit multifamily building permitted by RCG, but now owned by Avalon Bay Communities, beyond which is a 180-unit residential condominium complex built in 1968 called Meadowview Condominium off Walker Road; to the south by the existing East Mill brick building complex containing residential rental units, and commercial uses including restaurants, retail stores, and professional offices which extend southerly from High Street to Water Street; and to the west, across High Street, a 170-unit multifamily rental complex also owned by Avalon Bay Communities, the other buildings in the West Mill complex, and beyond which are the Sutton Pond Condominiums including 188 condominium units which included the redevelopment of a mill complex in 1994. (ii) Project Site Location The proposed Project includes demolishing the existing garage and other existing improvements and redeveloping the Site with a new 4/5 story garage structure with 397 parking spaces flanked by two 4/5 story residential buildings totaling 296 units, including Building One and Building Two. The existing surface parking lot to the south will remain and be improved. Of the total of 296 rental units, 222 units priced at market rents and 74 units income-restricted in perpetuity to households earning at or below 80%of area median income. Building One will have 150 studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units and Building Two will have 146 studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units. Both buildings will be 4/5-story elevator buildings with apartment flats. All units will be visitable Massachusetts Group One units. Five percent of the first-floor units will be Massachusetts Group Two accessible units and two percent will be Hearing Impaired units.The development will offer 47 studios (16%), 119 one-bedroom units (40%), 99 two-bedroom units (33%,) and 31 three-bedroom units (10%). All the units will be eligible to be counted on the Town's SHI, and to the extent approved by MassHousing, 70% of the units will carry a local preference. The Site is walkable to downtown Main Street, to local schools and parks, and is in a transit-oriented location. Restaurants and other services are located along High Street on the East Mill and West Mill campuses, and additional services are located in the traditional Downtown area along Main Street a short walk away. The nearest bus stop is 0.4 miles or a 10-minute walk from the Site. The Merrimack Valley Regional Transit Authority (MeVa) operates Route 3 connecting North Andover to the Commuter Rail (Lawrence Station on the Haverhill MBTA Line) at McGovern Transportation Center in Lawrence every 30 minutes. It also provides local service to Market Basket and other retail facilities, as well as the Andover-North Andover YMCA. 13 The Site is within a mile of multiple schools, municipal services, and recreation opportunities.The Mills to Hills Trail can be accessed from within the Mill Complex and provides access to Weir Hill Reservation located 1.2 miles east of the Site, which includes 4 miles of scenic trails over 194 acres of preserved open space. The Site is also located within walking distance of four public park/recreation areas, including: Aplin Park and Playground (0.3 mi) (18 Clarendon Street); the playing fields at North Andover High School (0.5) (430 Osgood Street); Chadwick Playground/McEvoy Field (0.6 mi) (Chadwick Street and 411 Sutton Street); and Grogan's Field (0.8 mi)(67 Baldwin Street). There are two nearby McVa bus routes, Route 3 providing access to McGovern Transportation Center in Lawrence and Route 14 which runs along Sutton Street. (iii) Zoning The Site is currently located within two different underlying zoning districts: Industrial S (I-S), and Residential 4 (R-4). The Site is also located within the Downtown Overlay District -Subdistrict A-- Historic Mill Area (the "Mill Subdistrict") which allows detached one-or two-family homes, multifamily dwellings of up to 6 units, townhouses, retail establishments, child-care facilities, businesses and offices, restaurants and cafes, and clubs, theaters, and recreation halls by right, and allows both multifamily dwellings having seven or more units, and mixed-uses by special permit. The Downtown Overlay District -Subdistrict A-- Historic Mill Area Zoning District was approved by Town Meeting vote in 2016 in an effort to accommodate the uniqueness of East Mill and West Mill in terms various building sizes and types, and encourage the continued development of multiple uses within the mixed use complex. The Site falls just outside of the Machine Shop Village Neighborhood Conservation District. The Applicant has requested certain waivers from the Zoning Bylaw requirements and other waivers from local Town of North Andover requirements listed and attached hereto in Section IV.G. Other than the requested waivers detailed in Section W.G., the Project will comply with all other local bylaws, regulations and other local requirements, and must comply with applicable federal and state laws, regulations, and policies. (iv) Site Access Primary access to Zero Prescott will be via the existing driveway entrance off of the adjacent subdivision road extending onto High Street which is also currently, and will continue to be, shared with the other uses at East Mill. (v) Topography The Site generally slopes upward to the north toward Prescott Street. Slopes range from 1%to 5%from High Street to the driveway entrance and the surface parking, and approximately 2% to 3% from the surface parking in the immediate vicinity of the existing parking garage, and then the slopes upward to the north along Prescott Street. Approximately 51% of the Site will remain as open space, primarily serving as a buffer to adjacent properties, and preserving mature vegetation in these areas to the extent reasonably possible. 14 B. Utilities. The Project will use existing public water and sewer infrastructure readily accessible to the Site and available on or adjacent to the Property. An existing 12-inch water line currently extends along and into the Property from High Street and currently provides water service to the other buildings at East Mill. Hydrant flow tests, if necessary, will be performed in the area to confirm adequate flow and volume exists prior to design of the fire suppression system. The public water supply system is operated by the Town of North Andover. An existing 24-inch sewer line located on High Street will be extended onto the Site to connect to the Project buildings, this public sewer line is operated by the Town of North Andover, and extends and connects to the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District regional wastewater treatment facility located off Sutton Street in North Andover. Electric and broadband internet service will be provided through National Grid. Natural gas is available but is not expected to be used for the Project. C. Wetland Features/Estimated Habitat A review of the Property performed by Civil Design Group, Inc. (CDG) did not identify any wetland resource areas and associated buffer zones on or within 100 feet of the Property. Accordingly, there are no wetland resource areas subject to the jurisdiction of the North Andover Conservation Commission both pursuant to the State Wetlands Protection Regulations and the Town of North Andover Wetlands Protection Bylaw (Chapter 190 of the Town Code) and associated North Andover Wetlands Protection Regulations (Chapter 260 of the Town Code). Based upon a review conducted by CDG, no portion of the Property is located within any special flood hazard areas within the Town of North Andover designated as Zone A and AE on the Essex County Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) dated July 8, 2025 issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the administration of the National Flood Insurance Program, and as further described under Article 4, Part 6 (Floodplain District) of the North Andover Zoning Bylaw (Chapter 195 of the Town Code), as adopted under Article 25 of the 2025 Annual Town Meeting and approved by the Office of the Attorney General's Municipal Law Unit by letter, dated September 10, 2025. A certification confirming the Property is not located within a regulated floodplain is noted on Sheet 2 of the Site Plans attached in Section W.L. Moreover, based upon a review by CDG of the most recent edition of the (151" Edition) Natural Heritage Atlas, dated August 1, 2021, the Property is not located within any mapped Priority & Estimated Habitats. The Site does not contain Certified Vernal Pools and is not located within an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC). D. Stormwater Management The proposed Project represents an opportunity to implement new Stormwater management controls and measures in existing paved and other areas designed to treat Stormwater. The project will also 15 preserve open space. The project has been designed to meet the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP's) Stormwater Management Standards as outlined in DEP's Stormwater Handbook. When a project complies with these standards, the presumption is that the Project is protecting public and private water supplies and groundwater supplies, providing for appropriate flood control and storm damage prevention, preventing pollution, protecting fisheries, and protecting wildlife habitat. A Stormwater Management Report, dated October, 2025, was also commissioned and completed by Civil Design Group, Inc., an Executive Summary of which is attached in Section IV.I. The results of the study determined that there will be no material difference between post-development and existing conditions with regards to the peak rates of runoff. The Project will result in an increase in impervious area of approximately 0.03 acres. The increase in runoff rates from the additional impervious areas will be mitigated through the implementation of a subsurface infiltration system. Proprietary water quality structures will be utilized to assist in providing water quality treatment from paved surfaces. The Project will be designed in compliance with the Massachusetts stormwater management standards in accordance with 310 CMR 10.05(6)(k) through (q) and defined in detail in the Mass. DEP Stormwater Management Handbook. The stormwater management system incorporates Best Management Practices to facilitate Total Suspended Solids (TSS) removal and detention of stormwater flows. The upgraded stormwater management system includes an infiltration system that recharges runoff and reduces total Phosphorous and the rooftop of the garage portion of the building will be conveyed through a water quality unit to increase TSS removal to maximum extent practicable. Stormwater shall be managed in accordance with applicable Massachusetts Stormwater Management requirements. The project will also be subject to operating under a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) developed in accordance with the requirements of the US EPA 2022 Construction General Permit (CGP) for Massachusetts (Rev. April 8, 2025), and the Applicant will be applying for coverage under Permit No. MAR100000. E. Traffic and Parking (i) Traffic A traffic and parking analysis entitled "Traffic Impact Assessment," dated October 2025 was prepared by Vanasse &Associates, Inc. (VAI) (the "Traffic Report"), and a copy of the Executive Summary is attached in Section IV.J. As further described in the Traffic Report, the analysis was conducted to determine the potential impacts on the transportation infrastructure associated with the construction of the Project. The Traffic Report includes an evaluation of existing traffic operations, an assessment of future conditions, an estimate of traffic volumes for the project's access requirements together with conclusions and recommendations. The Traffic Report was performed in accordance with MassDOT's Transportation Impact Assessment guidelines and the standards of the Traffic Engineering and Transportation Planning professions. VAI conducted its analysis in three phases: the first stage was an assessment of existing conditions in the study area; the second stage was to project future traffic demand using a seven-year time horizon; and the third stage was to conduct traffic analysis to identify projected future roadway capacities and demands. The Traffic Report made the following findings: 16 1. The existing traffic volume on High Street, in the vicinity of the Project was found to accommodate approximately 6,005 vehicles on an average weekday (two-way, 24-hour volume); 2. The Project is expected to generate approximately 1,320 vehicle trips on an average weekday (two-way, 24-hour volume), with 117 vehicle trips expected during the weekday morning peak- hour and 110 vehicle trips expected during the weekday evening peak-hour; 3. The Traffic Report also determined the Project will not have a significant impact (increase) on motorist delays or vehicle queuing over existing or anticipated future conditions without the Project (No-Build conditions), with all movements at the study area intersections expected to continue to operate at a level-of-service (LOS) of C or better with the addition of Project-related traffic, where an LOS of"D" or better is defined as "acceptable" traffic operations. Project- related impacts were generally defined as an increase in average motorist delay of less than 5.0 seconds and in vehicle queuing of up to one (1) vehicle; 4. All movements exiting the East Mill driveway to High Street were shown to operate at LOS C during both the weekday morning and evening peak hours with residual vehicle queues of up to three (3) vehicles, which can be accommodated along the drive without inhibiting the movement of vehicles, pedestrians, or bicyclists along High Street. All movements along High Street approaching the East Mill driveway are predicted to operate at LOS A with negligible vehicle queuing; 5. No apparent safety deficiencies were noted with respect to the motor vehicle crash history at the study area intersections; and, 6. Lines of sight to and from the intersection of the East Mill driveway with High Street were found to exceed the required minimum distances for the intersection to function in a safe and efficient manner. The Traffic Report concluded that the Project can be accommodated within the confines of the existing transportation infrastructure in a safe and efficient manner with the implementation of certain recommendations contained within the Traffic Report. (ii) Parking Parking within the Mill Complex works under a shared parking philosophy that has been memorialized in local zoning. The parking provided at the Site will be designed to accommodate both the full demand of the new units and overflow parking uses from the remainder of the Mill Complex during peak usage. More specifically, there are currently 959 off-street parking spaces on the East Mill campus, of which 308 have been cordoned off and unused for over a year despite 90+% occupancy at the Mill Complex. The remaining 651 parking spaces remain significantly underutilized to a combination of excess on-site parking for existing uses and because the peak usage for the commercial buildings is during the day and the peak usage for the residential is at night. A total of 805 spaces are required for the existing uses under current zoning, including: (a) 557 parking spaces that are required for the mixed uses at East Mill; (b) 212 spaces for West Mill's mixed uses; and (c) 36 shared parking spaces for residential use during non-business hours under an easement to Avalon Bay Communities. When the Project is complete,there will be a total of 497 parking spaces on the Site and about 892 17 overall in the East Mill campus including adjacent public ways. While the 497 spaces on the Site will provide 1.7 spaces per new residential unit, in the unlikely situation where more parking was needed, the remainder of the mill complex parking lots could be utilized by residents. Similarly, as most of the residential parking spaces become available during working hours, excess parking demand of the campus businesses can be accommodated on the Site. The Applicant holds the rights to allocate parking needs around the Mill Complex and will amend any easements and other restrictions as may be necessary to properly document the proposed shared parking arrangements. An existing entry drive to the Site extends from the East Mill Subdivision Road that comes off of High Street. The entry drive will lead residents and visitors to the surface parking lots and the garage entrance. A paved roadway will provide access to the northeast side of Building Two including a fire truck turnaround area. As to parking, the Traffic Report concluded that based on a review of parking demand observations documented by the ITE, the proposed parking supply that will be available after the construction of the Project is sufficient to accommodate the anticipated peak parking demand of the existing and proposed uses within the Mill complex. See Traffic Report Executive Summary attached in Section IV.J. F. Approach to Site and Building Design The proposed 0 Prescott Street development represents the latest phase of revitalization at the historic Davis & Furber Mills campus in North Andover. Situated between the industrial mill complex and a traditional residential neighborhood, the Project is shaped by both the architectural character, massing, and spatial rhythms of the existing mill buildings as well as the finer-grained, domestic scale of the surrounding homes. i. Context&Site Integration The Project Site is located at the northeast corner of the Davis & Furber Mills complex, on a parcel currently occupied primarily by an underutilized parking garage. This prominent location sits at the intersection of two distinct contexts: the robust industrial fabric of the historic mill buildings and the finer-grained scale of the adjacent residential neighborhood. In response to this dual context, the design adopts a sensitive and deliberate transition in both scale and materiality. Primary building facades facing the mill campus are clad in brick, echoing the masonry construction, strong horizontal lines, and industrial proportions that define the mill architecture. Conversely, facades that face the residential neighborhood include one fewer story as the site slopes downward, allowing the building massing to transition naturally to the scale of the neighborhood. Here, the proposed use of clapboard siding draws from the traditional materials found in nearby homes, helping the new construction integrate with its surroundings while still maintaining a coherent architectural identity. The site is organized around a central parking garage, which is wrapped by two residential buildings—Building One to the west and Building Two to the east.Together, these architectural and siting strategies ensure that the proposed development reads as a cohesive and well- integrated extension of the existing built environment, while maintaining a respectful relationship to adjacent lower-scale residential areas. 18 ii. Architecture&Massing The design draws from the utilitarian elegance of the mill buildings through simple rectilinear massing and a consistent rhythm of vertically proportioned windows. Both Building 1 and Building 2 incorporate architectural elements referencing the historic mills—particularly along their south elevations facing the campus—such as brick cladding, repetitive bays, and brick articulation that suggests structural pilasters. Corner balconies are introduced to create a subtle variation in the facade composition and to provide visual relief at key corners of the buildings. The buildings respond to the adjacent residential context along Prescott Street and to the north with a reduction of one story and the introduction of upper-floor stepbacks, while employing traditional materials and residential-scale features such as clapboard siding and a softened color palette.This dual architectural expression allows the development to reinforce the industrial legacy of the site while transitioning respectfully to the surrounding neighborhood. While the long elevations of the central garage are concealed, the two short ends remain exposed. These facades are thoughtfully integrated into the overall composition with a brick base and vertical aluminum fins that provide texture, visual screening, and architectural continuity. This treatment supports both function, such as ventilation, and aesthetics. iii. Landscape&Public Realm The Project weaves together new landscaped open spaces and pedestrian pathways to strengthen campus connectivity and invite exploration. Buildings One and Two are anchored by lush courtyards that serve as lively social hubs—spaces for gathering, play, and relaxation. Comfortable seating, shaded retreats, and flexible furniture create an atmosphere that shifts seamlessly from quiet respite to active engagement.These courtyards extend the life of the interiors outward, complementing the resident lounge and fitness center with welcoming outdoor rooms for community and connection. Walkways flow naturally through the site, guiding pedestrians toward amenities within the Mill Complex and the neighboring Downtown while maintaining accessibility and visual continuity. The planting design celebrates the regional landscape through the use of native, drought-tolerant species selected for their resilience, texture, and seasonal beauty. This ecologically driven approach enriches biodiversity, conserves water, and ensures a landscape that matures gracefully over time—alive with color, movement, and a sense of place. iv. Sustainability and Energy Efficiency The 0 Prescott Street development is guided by a comprehensive Sustainability strategy focused on energy efficiency, occupant health, and environmental performance.The design will comply with the Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code (Appendix AA, 10th Edition of 780 CMR) and is targeting performance levels that exceed baseline compliance. 19 Key features include: • High-Performance Envelope: Continuous exterior insulation, advanced air sealing, and thermally broken detailing will reduce heat loss and improve overall comfort. Windows and doors will be specified for low U-values and high SHGC as appropriate for solar exposure. • Heat Pump Heating & Cooling: All dwelling units will be served by electric high-efficiency heat pump systems. • Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV): Balanced ventilation with ERVs will ensure high indoor air quality while reducing heating and cooling loads. • Daylighting & Lighting Controls: Building layout and fenestration strategies prioritize access to natural light. Interior and exterior lighting will include LED fixtures with occupancy sensors and daylight-responsive controls. • Energy-Efficient Appliances: All dwelling unit appliances will be ENERGY STAR certified or equivalent, supporting lower energy use and operational cost savings for residents. • EV Charging & Bike Storage: The project will provide EV-ready parking spaces, with electrical infrastructure and conduit installed to accommodate future charging stations as demand increases. Secure indoor bicycle storage and pedestrian connections will encourage active transportation options. • Solar PV Readiness: In compliance with the Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code, the building will be designed to be solar-ready, with roof area and conduit pathways planned to support future PV system installation. • Low-Impact Materials & Healthy Interiors: Building materials will be selected for durability and low embodied carbon where feasible. Interior finishes will prioritize low- VOC paints, adhesives, and flooring to support occupant health. Buildings will be fully electrified to remove the on-site burning of fossil fuels, including heat pumps and domestic appliances.This measure will contribute to enhanced air quality. V. Fire Protection&Public Safety Both the residential buildings and the parking garage will be fully sprinklered in accordance with NFPA 13, providing a high level of fire protection and life safety consistent with multifamily construction best practices. 20 A.
