[MassHistPres] Historic Districts and Zoning

[Lara Kritzer]

Good afternoon,

 

Our local historic districts have recently been dealing with new
development on open lots that were previously somewhat forgotten open
space within out districts.  This development is dramatically different
from much of the existing landscape and has raised questions about
whether there are ways that we can use zoning to better protect the
character of our historic districts - both in the subdivision of lots
and their development.  I was wondering if anyone knows of any examples
where separate zoning districts/overlay districts have been established
to further protect local historic districts or other historic areas and
any information on how well they have worked.  Any suggestions or ideas
would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,
