2017.07.10 Council Agenda Item 08

Summary

Ordinance to amend the Zoning and Site Plan Review Ordinance to categorize the Falmouth Memorial Library as a municipal use.

A public comment period will not be included with this item as public comment was taken at an earlier date. 

ACTION: Council action is anticipated.

Description

The Falmouth Memorial Library has requested the Town provide accommodation for limited library services in the Town Hall during the construction of the new library.  In order to accommodate this use without triggering a review for zoning compliance, the library would be classified as a municipal use in the same manner as the schools.

The Planning Board, acting in their capacity as the Town's Municipal Reviewing Authority, held a public hearing on the proposed amendments at their June 6, 2017 meeting. A staff memo documenting that hearing is attached.
