20.006 An Ordinance
to Amend Zoning Map to Add New Smart Growth Overlay District at Laurel Street
An Ordinance of the City of Northampton, Massachusetts, providing that the Code of Ordinances, City
of Northampton, Massachusetts, be amended by amending Section 350-3.4, the Zoning Map, to add a
new Smart Growth-c overlay district.
Be it ordained by the City Council of the City of Northampton, in City Council assembled, as follows:
Amend
{§ 350-3.4 Zoning Map to add additional Smart Growth-c overlay district (SG-c), in addition to
the existing three SG overlays, overlain on the existing Planned Village District (PV), on Map ID
38A-049-001, as shown below.
SG-c does not increase the allowed density (the existing PV has no minimum lot size, frontage,
width, depth, or setback requirements) but does allow Commonwealth Smart Growth Overlay
bonus to the City for affordable housing. Map 38A-049 has already been dedicated to affordable
housing by the City’s State Hospital reuse planning and the resulting state legislation.}
