Congratulations to Lexington for being the first MBTA Community to adopt multifamily zoning by right! And, Town Meeting adopted it 1 1/2 years ahead of their deadline! Thank you, Lexington, for allowing more homes that people need. lexingtonma.gov/DocumentCent… @CHAPAdotorg

#2023LexATM Article 34: Amend Zoning Bylaw and Map - Multi-Family Zoning Housing for MBTA Communities PASSES
There's a good summary of the A34 situation in our local online news source:
lexobserver.org/2023/04/07/t…
I'm voting yes on the amendment because I worked on it and put my name on it (along with 12 other TMMs) as a political compromise.
If the amendment fails I'm voting yes on the original motion.
Proposed bylaw is here and is known as Article 34:

There is a substitute motion amendment that adds a "height buffer" for bldgs within 100' of a residential property line, removes some areas, and adds special permit req to others :

I’m a #LexingtonMA town meeting member and we’re scheduled to vote on our #mbta communities zoning bylaw this Monday. #AMA
There’s no FAR or any of the other dimension controls that DHCD forbids. Analysis of the proposed bylaw using the (simplistic) MBTA-C compliance model suggests 57 units/acre. Parcel selection is admittedly weak as far as immediate development potential.
Looks like I’m going to be @lbjay@fosstodon.org but i waited until after signing up to read the rules and I may have made a mistake.
Having one of those moments where no amount of evidence to the contrary will dissuade me from an idea and it’s that somewhere in my hometown of Wynne AR i can find a place to buy Yellowjackets memorabilia to take back for my kids because it’s the only good HS mascot ever.

the @BostonYeti2015 is on a new mission: to track down a long-lost monster movie called "Sasqua," which was filmed in Lowell in the 1970s and has been missing for decades
"It has sort of taken on this almost mythical status," he says.
