Add the following new paragraphs to Subsection H: "The Planning Board shall require that a schedule of architectural, signage and/or landscaping controls be adopted for the development, enforceable by the Town's special permit authority as well as deed restrictions on the development and any lots to be sold, unless specific building, signage and landscape designs are submitted for all portions of the project. Such controls shall have the effect of promoting design that is in keeping with the character of the Town and of Cape Cod. Any proposed schedule of architectural, signage and landscaping controls shall require review by the Design Review Committee and its report to the Planning Board prior to approval of the special permit application for the development. If such a schedule of architectural, signage and/ or landscaping controls is required, it shall be recorded as a deed restriction on the property at the same time as the special permit is recorded and the Planning Board shall be provided forthwith a copy of the recorded documents indicating the registry book and page at which each is recorded." Add new Subsections I and J as follows: "I. Within any commercial center located on a parcel of land greater than 200,000 square feet in the C-1, C-1-0 or C-1-SV districts, the Planning Board may approve subdivision lots of any size pursuant to the provisions of the special permit issued for said center, provided that each lot shall have at least 20 feet of frontage on a street approved by the Board under the subdivision control law or on a Town or State highway. However, no lot may be created which does not meet the minimum lot area and frontage requirements of the zoning district unless said lot is serviced by a public wastewater treatment plant approved by the Planning Board under the center's special permit and to which all such proposed lots may be legally connected after sale to multiple individual owners. No building permit may be issued for a building on said lots unless the required wastewater plant has been completed, with capacity specifically allocated to said lots, and has received all required state and local permits. Within any commercial center located in the C-1, C-1-0 or C-1-SV districts, the Planning Board, as part of its approval of the special permit for said center, may approve a specific schedule of dimensional controls, including setbacks, required buffer areas, frontage and lot size, but not including height or overall commercial center lot coverage, which differs from that required in the underlying zoning district. Unless such a schedule is adopted, no structure within a commercial center may be built closer to the street line, side line or rear line of a lot than the minimum requirements of the underlying zoning district. However, in no case may one or two-story primary structures be located less than twenty (20) feet from each other or may structures containing more than two (2) stories be located less than thirty (30) feet from any other habitable structure except in conformance with any applicable state and local building and fire codes or regulations. As part of its project review, the Planning Board will request a written recommendation from the Fire Department and Building Inspector regarding structures proposed to be set back from each other by less than the above required distances.
