2023 11 29 - Refined Unit/Acre Calculations; Is E Compliant?; and Special Town Meeting info!
Here <https://www.lincolntown.org/DocumentCenter/View/85300> are the maps and updated tables showing the units per acre zoning for each of the four options developed by the Housing Choice Act Working Group. There are changes in the unit/acre calculations because our consultant, Utile, worked with the state to refine calculations when there are significant wetlands involved. FAQ: Is the units/acre number a binding number? Yes! The allowed units/acre will be written into the zoning bylaws and is a maximum, regardless of the size of the units. Is E Compliant? In the professional opinion of our consultant, E does not appear to be compliant because the south Lewis Street subdistrict is smaller than 5 acres and is not contiguous with the rest of the Lincoln Road subdistrict. As with all the options, we will continue to keep the community informed of any changes. As was discussed at Monday's Select Board meeting, there will be 5 Options on the ballot, including E. No matter which Option is chosen by voters on Saturday, the Housing Choice Act Working Group will make any technical fixes that are required in order to ensure that what we are bringing to Town Meeting in March is deemed compliant. This would continue to be done through a public process. Updated FAQ: How is property assessed?
