PlanningBoard | 2011-03-14 | 10 | Vice-President Autorino thanked the speakers for their concise comments. He asked how the areas had received their land use designations. Mr. Thomas explained that field observations had informed the map. Mixed-use areas received the mixed-use draft zoning designations. He advises against zoning parcels based on their existing uses, because it parcelizes a neighborhood. However, the mixed-use zoning designation would allow both residential and commercial uses housed in buildings that are tailored to fit the aesthetic of the neighborhood. Vice-President Autorino asked for the possibility of locating a park in that neighborhood. Mr. Thomas explained that the City does not have funds to purchase the surplus Island High site from the School District, nor does the city have funding to maintain a park in the future. President Ezzy-Ashcraft asked how the existing residential uses could be maintained but balanced with Park Street development. Mr. Thomas explained the land use map and suggested that staff would return with a revised map addressing the comments of the neighborhood and the board. 10. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS: None 11.
