PLANNING BOARD COMMENT: Articles 1 and 2 are companion articles. The motion printed in the Warrant is based upon passage of Article 2 as recommended by the Planning Board. The zoning changes proposed within this article were supported based upon the representation of Richmond Great Point Development, LLC (“RGP”) that a Memorandum of Agreement followed by a Developer’s Agreement would be executed between RGP and the Board of Selectmen ("BOS"). This binding agreement, if approved by the BOS, will require RGP to exercise the changes approved in Articles 1 and 2 as a package, and will not allow them to simply utilize the zoning map changes independently. The production of affordable
housing is imperative to make progress toward the state mandated requirement of 10% of the year-round housing stock and implementation of the zoning provisions contained within
Article 2 will provide for local control of the process.
FINANCE COMMITTEE COMMENT: To be provided at Town Meeting, pending review of
the Memorandum of Agreement executed between the Board of Selectmen and Richmond
Great Point Development, LLC.

Ownership or rental of single family dwelling units, pursuant to §139-8D,
where at least 25% of the total dwelling units are restricted to occupancy by
households earning at or below the percentages of area median income set
forth herein. An increment of 75% of the total 25% of the restricted units shall
be restricted to occupancy by households earning at or below 80% of area
median income. The remaining increment of 25% of the total 25% of the
restricted units shall be restricted to occupancy by households earning at or

Amend Section 7A (use chart) by inserting in the “Use” column, between “Duplex” and “Elder Housing Facilities” a new use “Workforce Rental Community” to be allowed by Special Permit (SP) in the CN district only. 3. Insert a new Section 8D as follows: D. Special permit issued by the Planning Board to create workforce homeownership housing in the R-5 zoning district through a Workforce Homeownership Housing Bonus Lots allowance and in the CN zoning district through a Workforce Rental Community. The purpose of this provision is to incentivize the creation of workforce and affordable rental and ownership housing opportunities; to promote consistency, quality, and flexibility in the site layout and design; to mitigate traffic congestion by encouraging the creation of compact neighborhoods proximate to compatible adjacent commercial uses that reduce the need for
vehicle trips to already congested areas, and; to promote economic vitality and a greater diversity of housing opportunities in compliance with objectives contained within plans
adopted or accepted by the Town of Nantucket, Nantucket Planning and Economic
Development Commission, or the Nantucket Housing Authority. This Bylaw, which sets a
minimum size lot area, is intended to allow for aggregation of buildings, parking spaces, and
open areas to improve design quality. Consistent design quality shall be applied to all
dwelling units and affordable units shall be distributed evenly throughout the development.
(1) Requirements.
a. The following requirements shall apply to Workforce Homeownership Housing
Bonus Lots in the R-5 zoning district and to Workforce Housing Rental
Community in the CN zoning district.
i. Minimum lot requirement of 60,000 square feet;

iii. The application shall be subject to Major Site Plan Review;
iv. The Planning Board shall be the sole special permit granting authority

approval of a definitive subdivision or approval not required (ANR)
plan.
vi. Project must be eligible for approval as Local Action Units (LAU)
through the Local Initiative Program (LIP) or otherwise included on the
Town’s Subsidized Housing Inventory. It shall be the responsibility of

execution of a Regulatory Agreement in a form to be approved by the
Town of Nantucket, through its Board of Selectmen, and by the
Department of Housing and Community Development (“DHCD”) and
provision of any other documents requested by DHCD.
(2) Workforce Homeownership Housing Bonus Lots.
a. Bonus lots, subject to the requirements below, shall be based on the number
of building lots which could have been created through a conventional
subdivision plan. The maximum number of building lots, excluding any
bonuses, shall not exceed the number which may have otherwise been
created on a conventional subdivision plan meeting all dimensional and
upland requirements of the Zoning Bylaw and in full conformance with (and
requiring no waivers from) the “Rules and Regulations Governing the
Subdivision of Land,” as may be amended by the Planning Board from time to
time, as demonstrated by the submission of a dimensioned lotting plan. For all density calculations that result in a fractional number, only fractions equal
to or greater than 0.51 should be rounded to the next highest whole number. i. The total number of lots shall be calculated by multiplying the number of lots allowed by-right, as described above, by a factor of 1.33.
ii. 25% of the total number of lots allowed, using the bonus provision, must be allocated and restricted to ownership by households earning at or below the area median income limits set forth in the definition of Workforce Homeownership Housing, as defined in §139-2, or, the rental dwelling units located on the lots achieved through the bonus provision must be restricted to households earning at or below 80% of area median income. Said lots shall be subject to a Nantucket Housing Needs Covenant -Ownership Form or other instrument restricting sale or rental to households earning at or below the area median income limits set forth in the definition of Workforce Homeownership Housing, as defined in §139-2. b.

Page 6 Town of Nantucket November 9, 2015 Special Town Meeting Warrant with Finance Committee Motions
ownership or control of the applicant, and the required frontage, provided that the lot has sufficient vehicular access through an easement.
c. The Planning Board may allow an increase in the ground cover ratio up to
50%.
d. A minimum buffer area of at least 20 feet shall be established between the
Workforce Homeownership Housing Bonus Lots and residentially zoned
abutting properties. The Planning Board may require the buffer area to
include plantings, fencing, walls, or other improvements to mitigate impacts to
abutting properties.
(3) Workforce Rental Community
a. Rental dwelling units in one or more structures, shall be subject to the
following requirements:
i. The maximum number of dwelling units shall not exceed 32, at least 8
of which must (25% of which) be restricted to occupancy by

80% of area median income must encumber the subject lot(s);
ii. The maximum number of bedrooms contained within the Workforce
Rental Community Lot shall not exceed 57;
iii. At least 10% of the total dwelling units within the Workforce Housing
Rental Community must contain at least 3 bedrooms, unless such
requirement is reduced by a future binding directive from the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Housing and
Community Development which confirms that fewer than 10% three
bedroom units may be included in the Workforce Rental Community
while still confirming that all of the units in the Workforce Rental Community shall be eligible for inclusion on the Town’s Subsidized
Housing Inventory. In such an instance, the Planning Board shall have the discretion to approve fewer 3 bedroom units within the Workforce Rental Community, in conjunction with the issuance of the special
permit, as long as the requirement described above with respect to confirmation of the eligibility of all of the units in the Workforce Rental Community relative to inclusion on the Town’s Subsidized Housing Inventory has been met. b. A minimum buffer area of at least 20 feet shall be established between the Workforce Rental Community and residentially zoned abutting properties. The Planning Board may require the buffer area to include plantings, fencing, walls, or other improvements to mitigate impacts to abutting properties. c. The Planning Board may, in addition to those requirements included in §139-23, require submission of additional documentation, including without limitation, detailed floor plans, operation and management plan for the project, including maintenance of the structure(s) and the site. d. The Planning Board may reduce, by up to 100%, the side and rear yard setbacks where two or more Workforce Rental Community Lot projects are adjacent to each other.

Amend section 16A as follows: Except as expressly provided by § 139-330 of this chapter… PLANNING BOARD COMMENT: A locally based process for the creation of affordable/workforce housing units, as opposed to the 40B application process that is strictly controlled by the state, will become available if this zoning amendment is passed.

Commission, will guide the process for ownership and rental housing production.
