The proposed zoning amendment would add a new zoning overlay district, Chapter 240, Section 38.1 Mixed-Use Sub Zone of the Medical Services Overlay District. The proposed overlay district provides flexibility within the Sub Zone to permit development and relocation of medical and healthcare services together with commercial, retail and residential uses. The location of the proposed overlay district is Wilkens Lane and Kidd’s Hill Road in Barnstable. The property is primarily zoned IND Industrial District, MSOD Medical Services Overlay District, and is within the GP Groundwater Protection and WP Wellhead Protection Overlay Districts. Multifamily residential development is a use permitted in the IND Industrial District. The proposed zoning overlay modifies the bulk and dimensional standards applicable to this use to allow housing development at a greater density than currently permitted. Maximum allowable building height is increased to four stories (not to exceed 55 feet). Parking requirements are reduced for multifamily, retail and medical uses. Uses not already permitted in the IND orMSOD, or additional multifamily development not currently contemplated (beyond 1000’ of Kidd’s Hill Road) will require a Special Permit. The Planning Board held a duly noticed public on the proposed amendment on August 9, 2021. After public comment, the Planning Board unanimously voted to affirmatively recommend the proposed Mixed-Use Sub Zone as written, with the inclusion of the two additional parcels located at 75 and 80 Perseverance Way, to Town Council.
