SECTION 27 TECHNOLOGY AND BUSINESS MIXED USE OVERLAY DISTRICT (TBOD)

27.1 Purpose and Objectives of District

The purpose of the Technology and Business Mixed Use Overlay District (TBOD) is to encourage the redevelopment of vacant or underutilized properties and former manufacturing sites into mixed use projects that:

Promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the community by encouraging the redevelopment of vacant, underutilized or decommissioned facilities and sites into productive use;
Promote the health, safety and general welfare of the community by encouraging uses and site development that minimizes the amount of impervious paved parking areas through the use of shared parking lots and driveway curb cuts, and improves air quality by reducing traffic congestion and automobile trips;
Consist primarily of research and development and/or office space with associated accessory light manufacturing and retail uses;
Provide significant employment opportunities for residents of Woburn and nearby communities at salaries above minimum wage;
Have limited residential development that, if included, is designed and intended to complement the commercial uses by comprising no more than an accessory, supporting role to the primary commercial uses; and
Are appropriate in scale and located in an area that provides proximate access to major highways and to public transportation.

27.2 Establishment and Applicability

This District may only be applied to parcels shown on Woburn Assessors’ Maps as Map #54, Block #5, Lot #4; Map #54, Block #5, Lot 1; and Map #62, Block #1, Lot #29. A development parcel in the TBOD must contain a minimum of 50 acres.

For the purposes of this section, the TBOD shall be superimposed on the other districts existing at the time that any land in any said underlying district is also included in the TBOD.
For the purposes of the Zoning Ordinance, a TBOD may include any use set forth in Sections 27.6.A and 27.6.B, below, which uses may be commingled into a single structure with other eligible uses or may be located in separate structures on the site subject to any restrictions and/or limitations set forth in the Development Agreement described in Section 27.12.1.9. below.

1. Authority of Permit Granting Authority

The City Council shall be the Permit Granting Authority for both Special Permits and Site Plan Review approval where applicable. The City Council may elect to vary the dimensional and parking requirements of this Section by Special Permit if, in its opinion, such change shall result in an improved project and will not nullify or substantially derogate from the intent or purpose and objectives of this section. This authority continues subsequent to occupancy.

1. Master Concept Plan

The property owner/developer of any TBOD Mixed Use Development shall, simultaneously with a request to rezone property to a proposed TBOD, file the following with the City Council for approval:

A Master Concept Plan (“Master Plan”) which shall in a general manner show:

1. 1. The location and areas of proposed development;
  2. Proposed open space (usable or natural);
  3. Proposed site access curb cuts public/private ways; and
  4. Proposed building “envelope(s)” where construction is anticipated to occur (excluding internal site driveways).

A table showing approximate acres and calculations of the following:

1. 1. Total land area of each development area (building envelope area);
  2. Total development limitations, if any, of uses in any developable area; 3. Total maximum development (gross square footage/use limitations); and

4. Approximate number of parking spaces for the entire TBOD.

The Master Plan shall be approved by a two-thirds vote of the City Council at the time of rezoning and shall thereafter become the general development plan governing development at the TBOD. The Master Plan may be amended from time to time by a two-thirds vote of the City Council by application from the property owner/developer to reflect changing development conditions.
Upon approval of the Master Concept Plan by the City Council, the development of all parcels within the TBOD shall be in accordance with the approved Master Concept Plan. In the event that individual parcels comprising the TBOD are under the ownership of different entities, each such entity shall be permitted to seek the approval of a modification to the Master Concept Plan and Development Agreement as it applies to each such parcel.
Projects in a TBOD shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 18 of the Woburn Zoning Ordinance entitled “Development Impact Mitigation”, in recognition of the requirement for a Development Agreement.

1. Exclusivity/Control

Except as specifically provided herein, uses and provisions of the Zoning Ordinance relating to the underlying zoning district not otherwise impacted by this Section 27 shall continue to remain in full force and effect, provided however that the City Council shall be the Special Permit Granting and Site Plan Approval Authority, if applicable. This Section (§27) of the Zoning Ordinance exclusively controls the establishment, development, and design of any development undertaken at any TBOD and supersedes any other provision of the Zoning Ordinance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section and any other provision of the Zoning Ordinance, the provisions of this Section shall govern and control.

The hours of operation shall be limited

to 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. In addition, the petitioner shall be allowed to hold private after school events.” at 271 Mishawum Road. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED. A communication dated August 3, 2016 was received from Dan Orr, City Planner/Grant Writer, Woburn Planning Board as follows:

Re: Special Permit Application for 271 Mishawum Road/Dave & Busters of Massachusetts, Inc.

Dear Honorable Council:

The Planning Department has reviewed the above-referenced petition which seeks to modify an existing special permit granted under Section 11.3.12 of the Woburn Zoning Ordinance (WZO). The application appears to seek two amendments to the previouslygranted special permit:

It requests an extension of the hours the facility can be open to the public. The hours of operation are currently set at 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. 7 days per week. The application requests a one-hour extension of those hours, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m., 7 days per week.

Planning staff notes that although the stated reason behind the request was to accommodate families during off-school hours (“…during summer months, around holiday breaks and school vacations…”), the request itself is not limited to those times of year and therefore, if granted, would authorize the facility to open earlier every day year-round. If the Council objects to the notion of a daily 10:00 a.m. opening, it should specify and define all time/duration limitations it deems advisable.

The request seeks to have inserted in the Decision language that would allow the petitioner to hold “private school-sponsored after-school events.” This request raises several questions. How do these “events” differ from other gatherings at the establishment? Do the schools rent the entire facility versus a single function room within the establishment? Are colleges included in the definition of “schools”? Will these events stretch beyond the requested hours of operation (e.g. will they run past 1:00 a.m. if they are an after-prom party)? Will the applicant be returning to the City Council in the future seeking permission to close the facility for private events on behalf of other non-school organizations and groups and if so, is there any objection to that from the Council?

Beyond these questions (and assuming the request is granted), Planning staff recommends that the conditions of approval imposed in connection with the original Special Permit, to the extent they are still applicable, remain in full force and effect.

If you have any questions regarding this communication, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Respectfully, s/Dan Orr, City Planner/Grant Writer

Appearing for the petitioner was Attorney Joseph Tarby, Murtha Cullina LLP, 600 Unicorn Park Drive, Woburn, Massachusetts 01801 and he stated that the petitioner seeks to amend a special permit issued November 14, 2013 in which the hours of operation were set at between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m. to the new hours of operation of between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m. and to allow for private chaperoned after school events, that the License Commission has approved the change of opening hours to 10:00 a.m., that the petitioner has a national program to open an hour earlier for school vacations, that the liquor license hours will not be rolled back to 10:00 a.m. just the facility opening time, that the petitioner also wants to host school chaperoned lockdown events such as after graduation ceremonies or proms, that students arrive after the facility is closed to the public, that the facility will be fully staffed with food and games, that the bars will be closed, that there will be a police detail, that the students will be provided snacks, soda, ice cream bars, sandwiches, there will be two hours of game play and then breakfast will be served, that these are not college events only chaperoned high school events, that the petitioner would not object to a condition requiring a police detailed for the chaperoned parties, that new trees are being planted in the fall to replace the landscaping, that the petitioner would not object to a condition excluding colleges from the chaperoned parties, and that there are school vacations in the summer months as well as in February, April and at Christmas. Attorney Tarby offered a document entitled “Conditions to Special Permit Petition, Dave & Buster’s of Massachusetts, Inc., 271 Mishawum Road, Woburn, Massachusetts” for review by the City Council as follows: “Condition 4 shall be amended as follows: ‘1. The hours of operation shall be limited to 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 a.m. In addition, the Petitioner shall be allowed to hold private chaperoned school events.’ 2. All terms and conditions of the original Special Permit dated November 14, 2013 shall remain in full force and effect except as modified by this Decision.” Motion made and 2^nd that the document be received and made part of the record, all in favor, 9-0. General Manager Steve Carr stated that these are post prom and graduation events, that the students will be at the facility after their school events conclude, that the events typically take place in late May and early June, that there is limited traffic, that generally students board buses from the events at the school or at the event and then are dropped off at the facility, that he is not certain how many events would be held, that more than six to ten events a year is unlikely, that the petitioner advertised nationally a 10:00 a.m. opening and customers to the Woburn facility were turned away until 11:00 a.m., that families start their vacation days early, that alcohol is served beginning at 11:00 a.m. Monday through Saturday and beginning at 12:00 noon Sunday, that the intent is to give more game play time for families, that chaperones for the parties are representatives from the high schools, that there is generally one chaperone for every ten students, that the events are meant to be safe and that is why the schools provide the chaperones, that they have had inquiries for the chaperoned lockdown party from two communities. Alderman Concannon stated that he is concerned about the impact on nearby residents with students leaving the chaperoned parties in the early morning hours, that there could be a limited number of events to see the impact on the neighbors with people leaving at 5:00 a.m., and that this is a nice attempt to give the students a place to go after school events but it could be busy and he wants to know the impact on the neighborhood. Alderman Anderson stated that there could be a limit on the months during which the facility opens at 10:00 a.m. to coincide with school vacation months. Alderman Gately stated that he recommends that ten yearly events is an appropriate amount with special permit review in a year and if that number of events are not held then the number could be adjusted to the number held but no more than ten.

On the petition by Destination Partners, Incorporated, 12 Henshaw Street, Woburn, Massachusetts 01801 for a special permit pursuant to 1985 Woburn Zoning Ordinances, as amended, Section 5.1.57b to park two (2) box trucks in connection with its event planning business at 12 Walnut Hill Park. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED. A communication dated August 4, 2016 was received from Dan Orr, City Planner/Grant Writer, Woburn Planning Board as follows:

Re: Planning Department comments on special permit application 12 Walnut Hill Park/Destination Partners, Inc.

Dear Honorable Council:

The Planning Department has reviewed the above-referenced request to allow for overnight parking of two (2) box truck vehicles at 12 Walnut Hill Park pursuant to Section 5.1 (57b) of the Woburn Zoning Ordinance (WZO). The property is located in the Industrial-General (I-G) zoning district and the requested use (accessory parking of commercial vehicles) is allowed by City Council special permit.

The application indicates the box trucks would be 16’ x 24’ in dimension and utilized for transporting items related to their event planning business. However, little additional information about this request was included in the application.

In order to properly evaluate the request the Planning Department recommends the City Council require the applicant to provide the following information for review and consideration:

A plot plan of the property at 12 Walnut Hill property showing the location of the building, the number of existing (and any future) parking spaces and the proposed locations where the two box truck vehicles will be stored;

A breakdown of the square footage of all current tenants in the building by use (e.g., office, manufacturing, or storage/warehousing, etc.) and the number of parking spaces that would be needed to meet the parking requirements of the WZO, including the applicant’s use; and

The number of employees on the largest work shift of each tenant (including the applicant).

With this information the City Council will be able to confirm whether the site has sufficient parking for all tenants of the building, in addition to the two (2) spaces that would be used for overnight parking of the commercial vehicles.

The Department also recommends that the Council require the applicant to address the issue of snow storage either by including a designated snow storage area on the plans to be provided or by some method of snow removal from the site.

If the City Council ultimately chooses to grant the special permit after confirming zoning conformance, the Planning Department recommends the City Council consider imposing the following as conditions of the Special Permit:

All vehicles that will be parked on site overnight must be registered in the City of Woburn;

The two (2) commercial vehicles shall only be parked in the spaces designated for them on the Plan of Record to be provided;

Parking spaces shall be marked with four-inch painted lines per Section 8.5.5 of the

WZO;

The Special Permit shall be issued only to Destination Partners, Incorporated and shall not be transferrable; and

The Plan of Record shall be “fill in title block information when provided”.

If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me. We would also be happy to review any plans or additional material that may be provided.

Sincerely, s/Dan Orr, City Planner/Grant Writer

On the petition by Aldo Gallinelli and Judith Gallinelli, 15 Sorelle Place, Burlington, Massachusetts 01803 for a special permit pursuant to 1985 Woburn Zoning Ordinances, as amended, Section 5.1.56, Note 15 of the 1985 to allow for construction of a detached 30 foot by 40 foot barn at 15 Sorelle Place. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED. A communication dated August 3, 2016 was received from Dan Orr, City Planner/Grant Writer, Woburn Planning Board as follows:

Re: Special Permit Application for construction of residential garage exceeding 900 sq. ft. in size and with doors exceeding 8’ in height at 15 Sorelle Place/Aldo and Judith Gallinelli (Owners and Applicants)

Dear Honorable Council:

This office has reviewed the above-referenced petition which seeks authorization for the construction of a two-bay detached garage at this residential property. The applicants are seeking a special permit in accordance with Section 5.1.56, Note 15, because the square footage of the newly-constructed detached garage will exceed 900 square feet in area (1,020 sq. ft.) and the garage doors will exceed eight (8) feet in height (9 feet).

Planning staff notes that the applicant has provided a topographic site plan stamped by a Professional Land Surveyor. However, the zoning chart provided on the topographic site plan erroneously lists zoning information for Newton, Massachusetts. The chart should be revised and should include zoning information applicable to Woburn.

Further, the schematic elevation plan of the proposed garage structure is not dated or stamped (certified). In fact, it is impossible to tell who prepared the elevation plan. The Planning Department recommends that the City Council require the applicant to provide a copy of the garage elevation plan that is dated and stamped by a Registered Professional Architect.

Further, the proposed structure (which is actually labeled as a “proposed barn” on the plan) appears to be only 30-40’ from the edge of a wetland on the property. Approval from the Woburn Conservation Commission would therefore be required prior to construction.

The Department recommends the Council consider imposing the following as conditions of approval of this petition:

That the Plans of Record shall be “Topographic Site Plan, Burlington, Woburn & Lexington, Massachusetts; Scale: 1”=30’; Dated: April 26, 2015, revised fill in date of revision to reflect amended zoning table; Prepared by: VTP Associates, Inc., Land Surveyors – Civil Engineers, 132 Adams Street, 2^nd Floor, Suite 3, Newton, MA

02458 (617) 332-8271, Sheet 1 of 1 ” and “fill in title block once a revised, dated and stamped elevation plan is submitted”; and

That no business activity or home occupation shall be conducted in/from the garage.

If members of the City Council have any questions or concerns regarding this recommendation, please feel free to contact me.

Respectfully, s/Dan Orr, City Planner/Grant Writer

Re: Request for minor modification of special permit decision/4 Montvale Avenue Realty Trust, 4 Montvale Avenue, Woburn, Massachusetts

Dear Mr. Campbell:

Please be advised that I represent 4 Montvale Avenue Realty Trust. On July 12, 2016 the Superior Court appeal of the Special Permit Decision was settled with my client’s abutter. As a result, the project will proceed forward. As part of the settlement the Petitioner purchased from the abutter an adjacent 96 square foot lot. The lot will remain as open space with a new door for egress from the first floor.

Enclosed please find ten (10) copies of a plan entitled “Site Plan in Woburn, Showing Proposed Building at 4 Montvale Avenue dated August 1. 2016 prepared by Bayside Engineering, 600 Unicorn Park Drive, Woburn, MA 01801 (the “Revised Plan”).

Ten copies of the original plan referenced in Condition 5 of the Decision are enclosed herewith.

The proposed revision to the Decision by substituting the plan approved in the Decision with a Revised Plan does not result in any change or modification to the location of the buildings nor does it change any of the conditions contained in the Decision.

Further, the proposed modification does not result in a substantive amendment which changes the result of the Decision or which grants relief different from that originally granted.

On behalf of my client, I respectfully request approval by the City Council at its meeting on August 16, 2016 of minor modification to the Decision by replacing the plan referenced in Condition 5 with the Revised Plan included herewith. If the City Council finds that this request is not a minor modification I respectfully request that the City Council allow for a late filing of a Special Permit Petition and schedule a public hearing for September 6, 2016.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.

Very truly yours, s/Joseph R. Tarby, III

Motion made and 2^nd that the communication be accepted and made part of the record, all in favor, 9-0. Motion made and 2^nd that the minor modification replacing the plan of record referenced in Condition 5 to read as follows: “5. That the Plan of Record shall be plan dated August 1, 2016”, all in favor, 9-0.

A communication dated August 11, 2016 was received from City Solicitor Ellen Callahan Doucette as follows:

Re: 859 Main Development LLC – Special Permit Condition No. 11

Recently, a representative of Seaver Construction contacted me regarding preferred language to be used for the Grant of Easement (walking trail and access) that was required by Condition no. 11 of the special permit granted for the construction of a 98unit condominium project at 859 Main Street (the “Project”). I am communicating with the City Council regarding this issued because the Conservation Commission’s Order of Conditions for the Project, issued on January 17, 2014, effectively prohibits construction of the walking trail and advises Seaver Construction to seek a modification of the special permit to “resolve the conflict” between the special permit and the Order of Conditions. A copy of Condition 11 and Special Conditions no. 113 of the Conservation Commission’s Order of Conditions are attached hereto for reference.

To my knowledge, Seaver Construction has not submitted a request to modify the special permit, and I have declined to review easement documents which are of no value or use to the City. Certainly I will not advise the City Council to authorize, and the Mayor to accept, easements for a walking trail which cannot be constructed. I do not know why Seaver Construction has not brought this matter to the attention of the City Council, but as the Council retains jurisdiction over special permits issued, I am suggesting that the Council take up the matter of Condition no. 11 sua sponte in order to resolve this issue.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely, s/Ellen Callahan Doucette

Motion made and 2^nd that the MATTER be RECEIVED AND REFERRED TO

COMMITTEE ON SPECIAL PERMITS, all in favor, 9-0

MOTIONS, ORDERS AND RESOLUTIONS:

RESOLVED Whereas, there has been a significant increase in parking needs at Gonsalves Field since the construction of the restroom and snack shack facility; and

Whereas, parking is prohibited on both sides of Willow Street from Lexington Street to Bedford Road and vehicles are prohibited from parking on the grass areas of Gonsalves Field, particularly near the veteran’s memorial;

Now, therefore, be it Resolved that the Recreation Commission develop a plan to resolve the overflow parking issue at Gonsalves Field, including working with the School Department and Department of Public Works to establish parking at the Joyce Middle School parking lot with accessible access to the parking area from Gonsalves Field; and

Further, that the Recreation Commission develop a plan to install a net or other remedy to prohibit damage and trespass to abutting properties and homes.

s/Alderman Campbell

Alderman Campbell stated that during the summer there have been several issues regarding parking and personal property at the field, that there have been significantly more people at the field for tournaments, that the park is surrounded by residents on three sides, that vehicles have been parking on Willow Street which is not permitted and on the grass at the veteran’s memorial, that the field has become crowded with the addition of the snack shack, that she contacted the Recreation Director who has been extremely helpful, that there needs to be a permanent parking plan, that she spoke the Recreation Director about installing a walkway down the hill, across Willow Street to a bridge over the brook to the Joyce Middle School parking lot, that this walkway would resolve the parking issues, that the Mayor indicated that the city is looking to build the bridge next Spring, that a net also needs to be installed along the property line between the park and the neighbor’s house due to the number of softballs being hit into his yard, that this neighbor’s driveway has been blocked by vehicles from the park, that people come into his yard to retrieve the softballs, that there is construction on his property and he is concerned about people being injured on his property, that he has a portable toilet on his property during construction and people have been going on to his property to use the portable toilet, that a net, landscaping or trees may resolve the issue with the softballs being hit onto his property, and that she asks that the resolve be adopted to move this matter along. Alderman Higgins stated that capital funds were approved to improve the parking. Alderman Campbell stated that the parking area will be finished with paving and a retaining wall but this will not increase the amount of parking, and that during the last tournament the Parks Superintendent installed temporary fencing to prevent parking on the grass which was helpful. Alderman Gately stated that parking on the grass is unacceptable, and that a post and rail fence or boulders should be installed to keep vehicles from parking on the grass. Motion made and 2^nd that the RESOLVE be ADOPTED, all in favor, 9-0.

Presented to the Mayor August 18, 2016 and ten days having elapsed without same being approved, said Resolve became effective without his signature on August 30, 2016.
