Size Cap, Boxborough, Massachusetts
Topics: Traffic/Sprawl | Zoning Regulations
Limits the size of retail buildings to 25,000 s.f. The town passed this ordinance because “this type of development was not anticipated during the initial development of the zoning bylaw…The board believes that in a town of our size and character, events that occur in our collective backyard affect everyone and we must make decisions now that will impact the town for many years to come. This action is balanced as it allows business activity to expand and prosper, while focusing retail activity in the areas where we believe the master plan and current zoning intends, including the buisness districts and town center.”
