Falmouth Planning Boardâs first in-person public hearing this coming Tuesday, July 13, will focus on newly proposed amendments to the zoning bylaws.
Proposed is a Mixed Residential and Commercial Overlay District that would amend the townâs current zoning bylaws to allow for mixed-use developments in certain eligible locations throughout Falmouth.
The principal purpose of the proposed amendment is threefold: to enable the town to reach its goal of committing 10 percent of its housing to the Subsidized Housing Inventory; to incentivize developers and property owners to create diverse mixed-use housing options; and to enable the creation of livable, walkable neighborhoods in the townâs business districts through mixed-use developmentsâdefined for these purposes as a building that contains both residential and non-residential units, including, but not limited to, commercial and institutional uses.
