[MassHistPres] Historic preservation using commercial village overlay experiences

[Skelly, Christopher (SEC)]

I'm not sure what you mean by the term overlay.   The word overlay has many different applications within zoning and you really need to read each bylaw to understand how it is being used.  What are the goals you are trying to address?  Chris.

Subject: [MassHistPres] Historic preservation using commercial village  overlay experiences

Good Morning.
    I was hoping someone on the list might have had some experience with commercial zoning overlays in attempts to preserve historic character.
Specifically we have an area zoned commercial that has been nominated to proceed with National register Designation. We have been unable to find funds to submit the papers so far. It was suggested we might be able to use the Commercial village overlay in the meantime. Has anyone used this approach and  with what results.?

Thanks,
Sally Urbano
Individually Harwich, Ma.
