By changing the name of the Bylaw from “Flexible Community Development Bylaw” to “Inclusionary Development Bylaw”; 2. By amending the text of said Bylaw, with bolded text being inserted into said Bylaw and text containing a strikethrough being eliminated from said Bylaw as follows: § 210-57. Purpose and Intent. The purpose of this Article is to increase the inventory of affordable housing in Hopkinton. It is intended that the affordable housing units that result from this Article be considered as Local Initiative Program (LIP) units, in compliance with the requirements for the same as specified by the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and that said units shall count toward the Town’s requirements under G.L. c.40B sec. 20-23. Each affordable unit created in accordance with this Article shall have limitations governing its resale to preserve the long-term affordability of the unit and to ensure its continued availability for affordable income households. § 210-58. Applicability. A. In all zoning districts, the inclusionary housing provisions of this section shall apply to the following uses, hereafter called the “development”: (1) Any project that results in a net increase of five (5)ten (10) or more dwelling units, whether by new construction or by the alteration, expansion, reconstruction, or change of existing residential or non-residential space, with the exception of Article XIIIA, Village Housing Development projects; and (2) Any division and/or subdivision of land held in common ownership as of the effective date of this Article, or anytime thereafter, into five (5)ten (10) or more dwelling units. § 210-59. Administration. A development shall require the grant of a Special Permit from the Planning Board. A Special Permit shall be granted if the proposal meets the requirements of this Chapter. If a development requires a Special Permit pursuant to any other provision of this Chapter, a separate Special Permit shall not be required. The Planning Board shall prepare and, after a public hearing, adopt and file regulations with the Town Clerk, which may be amended from time to time, and shall include submission requirements, timelines, procedures and provisions necessary to implement this Article. Select Board Chair Amy Ritterbusch _______ Initial 14 § 210-60. Mandatory Provision of Affordable Units. A. In each applicable development, 10% of the total units one dwelling unit shall be established as an affordable housing units for every ten (10) dwelling units in the development., in any one or combination of methods provided for below. Where fractional units are the result, the number of affordable units shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. For example, in developments of 12 units, two affordable units shall be created (1.2 units rounded up to 2 units); in developments of 17 units, two affordable units shall be created (1.7 units rounded up to 2 units); and so on. For example, in a development of 10 to 19 units, 1 unit shall be affordable; in developments of 20 to 29 units, 2 units shall be affordable; and so on. The use of a combination of methods shall be approved by the Planning Board. Affordable dwelling units shall be constructed or rehabilitated on the development locus. B. The Planning Board may grant a Special Permit to allow for the construction or rehabilitation of a dwelling unit on a locus different than the development, or allow for a payment-in-lieu of construction or rehabilitation of a dwelling unit. Such Special Permit may be issued only where the Planning Board makes a specific finding that there will be a significant net benefit to achieving the Town’s affordable housing objectives as a result of allowing the construction or rehabilitation of a dwelling unit on a different locus than the development, or a payment-in-lieu. (1) Constructed or rehabilitated on the development locus; or (2) Constructed or rehabilitated on a locus different than the development; or (3) An equivalent fees-in-lieu of payment may be made. B. For every affordable unit required, one additional market rate dwelling unit may be added to the total number of dwelling units in the development. For example, in a development of 20 units, two affordable units are required and the number of market rate units may be increased by two, for a total of 22 units. C. The Planning Board may allow a reduction in the dimensional requirements, including minimum lot area, frontage or setback requirements, applicable to the proposed development in order to accommodate the additional units on the site and to locate them within the areas most suitable for development. Such authorization for reduction shall be included in the special permit. § 210-61. Provisions Applicable to Affordable Housing Units On- and Off-Site. A. All affordable units created, constructed or rehabilitated under this Article shall be situated within the development so as not to be in less desirable locations than market rate Select Board Chair Amy Ritterbusch _______ Initial 15 units in the development and shall, on average, be no less accessible to public amenities, such as open space, as the market-rate units. B. Affordable housing units shall be integrated with the rest of the development and shall be compatible in design, appearance, construction, and quality of materials with other units. Interior features and mechanical systems of affordable units shall conform to the same specifications as apply to market-rate units. C. Affordable housing units shall be provided coincident to the development of market- rate units. D. The deeds to the affordable housing units sold to income eligible buyers shall contain a restriction against renting or leasing of said unit(s) during the period for which the housing unit(s) contains a restriction on affordability, unless a written waiver is explicitly allowed by consent of the Town and the Commonwealth. E. All affordable units created, constructed or rehabilitated under this article shall hold a legal use restriction that runs with the land, is recorded at the Registry of Deeds, provides for affordability in perpetuity, identifies the Subsidizing Agency and monitoring agent, if applicable, and restricts occupancy to income-eligible households, as defined by the Department of Housing and Community Development. EF. The applicant shall comply with the mandatory set-asides and accompanying restrictions on affordability, including the execution of an acceptable deed rider. FG. If the Planning Board grants a Special Permit that allows for off-site units, tThe location of the off-site units to be provided shall be approved by the Planning Board, and shall be provided coincident to the development of the market-rate units or in accordance with an alternate schedule approved by the Planning Board. Exercise of this option shall not result in the destruction or demolition of existing structures, unless the Planning Board determines that: 1) such destruction or demolition is not detrimental to the neighborhood; and 2) where the proposed destruction or demolition of existing housing units is proposed, is consistent with the overall housing goals of the Town. When the Historic Preservation Bylaw (Chapter 125 of the Bylaws of the Town of Hopkinton) applies to the structure, the Planning Board shall consult with the Historical Commission before making a determination. § 210-62.

(2) Schedule of fees-in-lieu-of-units payments. Fees-in-lieu-of-units payments shall be made according to a schedule agreed upon by the Planning Board and the applicant. § 210-63.

EVSE-INSTALLED: "EVSE-Installed" shall, at a minimum, mean an installed EVSE within a minimum charging level as set forth by the Planning Board in its regulations. D. Applicability Construction projects subject to Major Project Site Plan Review pursuant to Article XX, specifically §210-134.C (Major Project) for construction or enlargement of a parking area containing 25 or more parking spaces and development projects requiring Minor Project Site Plan Review pursuant to Article XX, specifically §210-134.B (Minor Project) for construction or enlargement of a parking area containing five or more parking spaces shall conform to the minimum requirements for EVSE-Installed and/or EV-Ready parking spaces as set forth in this Article; provided, however, that such construction projects for which there is no net increase in the number of parking spaces are not required to conform to the provisions of this Article. The Planning Board may waive or reduce the requirements for EVSE-Installed or EV-Ready parking spaces only upon a finding that the provision of the required EVSE-Installed or EV- Ready parking spaces would be significantly detrimental to the project, or the layout or orientation of the parking area does not allow for efficient provision of EV-Installed or EV-Ready parking spaces and such layout or orientation cannot be reasonably modified to accommodate the EVSE-Installed or EV-Ready parking spaces. E. EVSE-Installed and EV-Ready Requirements Select Board Chair Amy Ritterbusch _______ Initial 18 (1) Where EVSE-Installed or EV-Ready parking spaces are required by the Article, the Planning Board shall set forth a minimum acceptable standard for charging level in its regulations.

ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENTS ARTICLE: 25 Inclusionary Development Bylaw Sponsor: Planning Board To see if the Town will vote to amend Article XI, Flexible Community Development Bylaw, of the Zoning Bylaws, as follows: 1. By changing the name of the Bylaw from “Flexible Community Development Bylaw” to “Inclusionary Development Bylaw”; 2. By amending the text of said Bylaw, with bolded text being inserted into said Bylaw and text containing a strikethrough being eliminated from said Bylaw as follows: § 210-57. Purpose and Intent. The purpose of this Article is to increase the inventory of affordable housing in Hopkinton. It is intended that the affordable housing units that result from this Article be considered as Local Initiative Program (LIP) units, in compliance with the requirements for the same as specified by the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and that said units shall count toward the Town’s requirements under G.L. c.40B sec. 20-23. Each affordable unit created in accordance with this Article shall have limitations governing its resale to preserve the long-term affordability of the unit and to ensure its continued availability for affordable income households. § 210-58. Applicability. A. In all zoning districts, the inclusionary housing provisions of this section shall apply to the following uses, hereafter called the “development”: (1) Any project that results in a net increase of five (5)ten (10) or more dwelling units, whether by new construction or by the alteration, expansion, reconstruction, or change of Motions Document Page 25 existing residential or non-residential space, with the exception of Article XIIIA, Village Housing Development projects; and (2) Any division and/or subdivision of land held in common ownership as of the effective date of this Article, or anytime thereafter, into five (5)ten (10) or more dwelling units. § 210-59. Administration. A development shall require the grant of a Special Permit from the Planning Board. A Special Permit shall be granted if the proposal meets the requirements of this Chapter. If a development requires a Special Permit pursuant to any other provision of this Chapter, a separate Special Permit shall not be required. The Planning Board shall prepare and, after a public hearing, adopt and file regulations with the Town Clerk, which may be amended from time to time, and shall include submission requirements, timelines, procedures and provisions necessary to implement this Article. § 210-60. Mandatory Provision of Affordable Units. A. In each applicable development, 10% of the total units one dwelling unit shall be established as an affordable housing units for every ten (10) dwelling units in the development., in any one or combination of methods provided for below. Where fractional units are the result, the number of affordable units shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. For example, in developments of 12 units, two affordable units shall be created (1.2 units rounded up to 2 units); in developments of 17 units, two affordable units shall be created (1.7 units rounded up to 2 units); and so on. For example, in a development of 10 to 19 units, 1 unit shall be affordable; in developments of 20 to 29 units, 2 units shall be affordable; and so on. The use of a combination of methods shall be approved by the Planning Board. Affordable dwelling units shall be constructed or rehabilitated on the development locus. B. The Planning Board may grant a Special Permit to allow for the construction or rehabilitation of a dwelling unit on a locus different than the development, or allow for a payment-in-lieu of construction or rehabilitation of a dwelling unit. Such Special Permit may be issued only where the Planning Board makes a specific finding that there will be a significant net benefit to achieving the Town’s affordable housing objectives as a result of allowing the construction or rehabilitation of a dwelling unit on a different locus than the development, or a payment-in-lieu. (1) Constructed or rehabilitated on the development locus; or (2) Constructed or rehabilitated on a locus different than the development; or (3) An equivalent fees-in-lieu of payment may be made. B. For every affordable unit required, one additional market rate dwelling unit may be added to the total number of dwelling units in the development. For example, in a development Motions Document Page 26 of 20 units, two affordable units are required and the number of market rate units may be increased by two, for a total of 22 units. C. The Planning Board may allow a reduction in the dimensional requirements, including minimum lot area, frontage or setback requirements, applicable to the proposed development in order to accommodate the additional units on the site and to locate them within the areas most suitable for development. Such authorization for reduction shall be included in the special permit. § 210-61. Provisions Applicable to Affordable Housing Units On- and Off-Site. A. All affordable units created, constructed or rehabilitated under this Article shall be situated within the development so as not to be in less desirable locations than market rate units in the development and shall, on average, be no less accessible to public amenities, such as open space, as the market-rate units. B. Affordable housing units shall be integrated with the rest of the development and shall be compatible in design, appearance, construction, and quality of materials with other units. Interior features and mechanical systems of affordable units shall conform to the same specifications as apply to market-rate units. C. Affordable housing units shall be provided coincident to the development of market- rate units. D. The deeds to the affordable housing units sold to income eligible buyers shall contain a restriction against renting or leasing of said unit(s) during the period for which the housing unit(s) contains a restriction on affordability, unless a written waiver is explicitly allowed by consent of the Town and the Commonwealth. E. All affordable units created, constructed or rehabilitated under this article shall hold a legal use restriction that runs with the land, is recorded at the Registry of Deeds, provides for affordability in perpetuity, identifies the Subsidizing Agency and monitoring agent, if applicable, and restricts occupancy to income-eligible households, as defined by the Department of Housing and Community Development. EF. The applicant shall comply with the mandatory set-asides and accompanying restrictions on affordability, including the execution of an acceptable deed rider. FG. If the Planning Board grants a Special Permit that allows for off-site units, tThe location of the off-site units to be provided shall be approved by the Planning Board, and shall be provided coincident to the development of the market-rate units or in accordance with an alternate schedule approved by the Planning Board. Exercise of this option shall not result in the destruction or demolition of existing structures, unless the Planning Board determines that: 1) such destruction or demolition is not detrimental to the neighborhood; and 2) where the proposed destruction or demolition of existing housing units is proposed, is consistent with the overall housing goals of the Town. When the Historic Preservation Bylaw (Chapter 125 of the Motions Document Page 27 Bylaws of the Town of Hopkinton) applies to the structure, the Planning Board shall consult with the Historical Commission before making a determination. § 210-62. Fees-in-Lieu-of Affordable Housing Unit Provision. A. The Planning Board may authorize an applicant, as a condition for the grant of a Special Permit to contribute funds to the Town of Hopkinton Affordable Housing Trust Fund or Hopkinton Community Housing Task Force, Inc.

ARTICLE: 26 Electric Vehicle Parking Spaces Sponsor: Planning Board To see if the Town will vote to amend the text of Zoning Bylaw, Article XVIII, Supplementary Regulations, by inserting a new Section 210-124.1, Electric Vehicle Parking, as follows: § 210-124.1 Electric Vehicle Parking. A. Purpose Motions Document Page 28 The sale of electric vehicles continues to grow in Massachusetts and opportunities for charging of these electric vehicles needs to be widespread to accommodate this mode shift. The purpose of this bylaw is to support this mode shift to electric vehicles and encourage ongoing efforts to reduce the impact of fossil fuels on the environment and work towards carbon neutrality by introducing opportunities for EV charging on parking areas with 5 spots or more. It is not the intent of this bylaw to open a private parking area for public use. B. Administration The Planning Board shall prepare and, after a public hearing, adopt and file regulations with the Town Clerk, which may be amended from time to time, and shall include technical requirements of the EV-Ready and EVSE-installed infrastructure, procedures, and provisions necessary to implement this Article.

The Planning Board may waive or reduce the requirements for EVSE-Installed or EV-Ready parking spaces only upon a finding that the provision of the required EVSE-Installed or EV-Ready parking spaces would be significantly detrimental to the project, or the layout or orientation of the parking area does not allow for efficient provision of EV-Installed or EV-Ready parking spaces and such layout or orientation cannot be reasonably modified to accommodate the EVSE- Installed or EV-Ready parking spaces. E. EVSE-Installed and EV-Ready Requirements (1) Where EVSE-Installed or EV-Ready parking spaces are required by the Article, the Planning Board shall set forth a minimum acceptable standard for charging level in its regulations.

(c) Parking areas with 11 or more parking spaces shall provide 10% of the total spaces as EVSE-Installed parking spaces or 20% of the total spaces as EV-Ready parking spaces. In any case where the calculation of EVSE-Installed or EV-Ready parking spaces results in a fraction of a space, the number of spaces shall be rounded up to the next whole number. For example, a result of 1.7 spaces shall be rounded up to 2 spaces, a result of 3.2 spaces shall be rounded up to 4 spaces, and so on. (3) The EVSE-Installed and EV-Ready parking spaces shall be located within the parking area, and shall be counted toward the parking requirements for the use, in accordance with the requirements of the Zoning Bylaw for off-street parking spaces.

Main •Church is closing and the property will go up for sale •Under Residential B zoning the best use is to build houses on this property. •It is not an ideal residential location given the proximity to the heavy traffic and lights on W. Main •Its location is ideal for business use with good visibility and access to 495 and W. Main The lot is small and limited by wetlands (highlighted), only the currently developed area is buildable, which is approximately half the lot (1.8 acres). Any commercial use would be relatively small The lot is well buffered from neighboring residential areas by wetlands. Street view towards residential areas Commercial development is unlikely to: •add increased light pollution at night because the church is already lit •add much increased traffic - the empty parking lot is already used frequently as a turn around or stopping place History: 1968 Map •495 is just constructed •Church was built in 1975 and has been in single ownership •Historic Zoning maps are not available, but it can only be assumed that the zoning was changed to allow for industrial and commercial zoning near 495 •Unlike surrounding areas, the zoning for this plot has not changed over the years as the area has become more commercial Vasudha Dutta <vdutta@hopkintonma.gov> Fwd: 70 South Street 1 message Norman Khumalo <nkhumalo@hopkintonma.gov>Thu, Apr 6, 2023 at 10:06 PM To: Elaine Lazarus <elainel@hopkintonma.gov>, Vasudha Dutta <vdutta@hopkintonma.gov> Elaine and Vasudha: We should include this email as one of the exhibits ref South Street zoning.

Unlike many of the attendees today, I am not opposed to an office building on 70 South Street however I am concerned about the traffic it may cause on Hayward Street. I understand that you are currently negotiating a Developer's Agreement with the town which should be critical to this process. In my opinion, the Developer's Agreement should contain several key provisions: - All land other than the office building in question that is under control of the proponent should be permanently restricted from development. The handout map doesn't show the property owners, so based on recollection, this would be Pine Grove Lane, 34 and 36 Hayward. - Hayward Street should be widened from your proposed exit to the traffic light to allow for left and right turn lanes. - A curb-enforced left-turn-only exit from the building to Hayward Street should be required - Construction material storage and heavy construction trucks (ready-mix, equipment, forms, etc.) should be prohibited from the property as you presented. - These should be perpetual requirements. If these items were incorporated and you had the support of the Planning Board and Board of Selectmen, I would be in favor of the project. - Edward A.

What is Participatory Budgeting? A Participatory Budget is a budget in which the residents/community organizations can submit projects that cost less than $25,000.00.This is a great way to hear/share ideas,develop proposals,and discuss community projects.We are asking residents how to spend $100,000.00 in Project Funds for projects that cost less than $25,000.00 each that will benefit the community for 5 years or more.Participatory Budgeting guarantees accountability in spending decisions, can increase equity and access,foster civic engagement and community spirit,and ensure that public money targets real community needs. An evaluation committee conducted a blind review and ranked all the submissions that were received.All the projects were then averaged and put in order by those averages.The projects that ranked the highest and totaled to our available project funding of $100,000.00 will move forward to Town Meeting for approval.Below are all the projects that were submitted,the ones in yellow are the projects that ranked the highest and will be moving forward to Town Meeting. Here Participatory Budget you will find the link to the folder with the Participatory Budget requests and rankings.

We recorded the program and I've linked it here as well as a page on our website with information and resources that we shared during the program. The DA also filed legislation (H.853) this year that would establish a voucher program for home water filtration equipment: https://malegislature.gov/Bills/193/H853 We wanted to send your way in the hopes that the recording could be a helpful resource to the community -- for your town's website or in future communications about the work you are doing on this issue.
