The Chair wished to review the proposed Article by first reading the Explanation. The Chair stated that it was her opinion that the Article allowed for the expansion of Mashpee Commons with a Master Plan, while introducing Form-Based Code into Mashpee's Zoning Bylaw. The Article would keep protective zoning in place while allowing for mixed use (mix of commercial and residential).. Definitions of Mixed-use Planned Development (MPD) and Farm-Based Design Code were added to the proposed Article. Additionally,the Table of Use Regulations would be amended to add a new subsection H.(14) Mixed Use Plan Development, by Special Permit form the Planning Board. In addition, add the notation"SP"under the C-1, C-2, R-3 and R-5 columns, from the Zoning Bylaw.
