Article 37. Zoning Bylaw Amendment: Limited Business #1 District Height Requirement 

ARTICLE 37. To determine whether the Town will amend Table III of the Town’s Zoning Bylaw to increase the maximum height in Limited Business District 1 as follows (deletions are shown in strikeout and changes or additions are shown in bold italics for emphasis only) or take any other action relative thereto:

TABLE III - Dimensional Regulations

Article Explanation

This article would bring the maximum height of Limited Business District 1 into alignment with other zoning districts in Concord. Most other districts have a height limit of 35 feet, and a few have a higher limit. Heights under 35 feet do not allow for three stories and are therefore inconsistent with other zoning districts and with principles of economic vitality and sustainability. Limited Business District 1 is located along Elm Street where it meets Route 2.

Article Motion

Ms. Felshin moves that the Town take affirmative action on Article 37 as printed in the Warrant.
