The Main Street Mixed Use Overlay District regulations of this
article apply in addition to the underlying zoning district regulations.
The Main Street Mixed Use Overlay is an overlay district superimposed
on the underlying zoning districts, including without limitation any
other overlay districts, now or hereafter established by the Zoning
Bylaw. The use, dimensional, parking and other regulations governing
the underlying zoning district(s) shall remain in full force, and
are not amended or modified by this article. A development or project
shall comply completely with underlying zoning, but may also contain
within it multi-family residential uses as provided for in this article.
A.
In addition to all of the uses allowed by right and by special permit
within the underlying Highway Business Zoning District, multi-family
dwellings are permitted by special permit issued by the Community
Planning Commission as a component of a mixed use development; provided,
however, that multi-family residential uses cannot exceed 80% of the
total square footage of buildings on any parcel. The remaining 20%,
at least, of total building square footage, must be occupied by another
use allowed by right or by special permit in the Highway Business
Zoning District.
B.
Assisted living facilities, senior housing, and 55 and over age-restricted/active
adult housing are permitted by right but may not exceed 80% of the
total square footage of buildings on any parcel. The remaining 20%,
at least, of total building square footage, must be occupied by another
use allowed by right or by special permit in the Highway Business
Zoning District.
A.
The dimensional and density regulations of the underlying zoning
district, Highway Business, are to be adhered to within the Main Street
Mixed Use Overlay District.
B.
Multiple principle buildings are allowed on one lot. The minimum
separation between buildings shall be two times the required side
yard setback.
A.
The minimum required off-street parking shall be two spaces per dwelling
unit.
B.
The required parking spaces may be located in an accessory garage,
in a dedicated parking area on the lot, or stacked within the driveway
serving the development. When the parking spaces are located outside,
the area used for parking shall be graded and drained so as to prevent
surface water accumulation within the parking area and to prevent
surface water runoff to an adjoining property or the public way.
C.
Dimensions of outdoor parking spaces shall be a minimum of 10 feet
by 20 feet. Dimensions of indoor parking garage spaces shall be a
minimum of 9 feet by 18 feet.
D.
There shall be a landscaped buffer of not less than four feet between
any driveway and the nearest side lot line, and no paved surface areas
and no off-street parking shall be permitted within the buffer zone.
In the event that one or more of the provisions of this article
are determined to be illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, then the illegality or unenforceability of any such
provision shall not affect the validity of any other provision of
this article which remains in full force and effect.
