Projects requiring low-impact site plan approval. Unless a site
plan has been endorsed by the Planning Board, no building permit shall
be issued in the Business A or the Business C District for:
| |
a.
|
The construction, reconstruction, addition, exterior alteration,
or change in use of any structure, other than a single- or two-family
dwelling, for uses permitted by right or by special permit as identified
in Subsection 2323; or
|
b.
|
The construction, reconstruction, addition, exterior alteration,

The Planning Board will establish a two-tier review process.
In the opinion of the Planning Board, projects which meet a checklist
of criteria adopted by the Planning Board in its rules and regulations
as part of the Post Office Square Design Guidelines shall be approved
within 21 days, subject to Board of Health approval, if such approval
is required for the project, and referred to the Building Department.
In the opinion of the Planning Board, projects which do not meet this
checklist will be reviewed and a decision filed within 45 days of
the determination that further review is required. Such guidelines
may be adopted and/or amended from time to time by the Planning Board
and are incorporated in this bylaw by reference. Any project including
new construction, reconstruction, addition, exterior alteration or
change in use that requires (prior to any reductions under Subsection
3111) 20 or more parking spaces on one lot or in one shared parking
area shall be subject to the extended review process as set forth
above and in Subsection 6334. Any project including new construction,
reconstruction, addition, exterior alteration or change in use that
requires (prior to any reductions under Subsection 3111) fewer than
20 parking spaces on one lot or in one shared parking area shall be
subject only to the twenty-one-day review process.

Any alterations or improvements generated in compliance with
the Americans with Disabilities Act shall be exempt.
