The following is a summary of the existing zoning in the immediate area surrounding 8 Marblehead St:
Industrial – S.
The parcel is currently zoned
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.
