Description

This agenda item will be an opportunity for the Town Council to discuss next steps, additional public comment opportunities, and overall process in regard to the proposed "Falmouth Center" mixed use development on Route 1. The attachments include materials submitted by the developer for the June 4, 2018 Town Council meeting as well as an amended site plan that includes adjustments to the location of the sports buildings and fields. The fields have been moved west approximately 50’ and the building has been rotated and moved 290’ west.

On June 4, 2018, (Agenda Item 2: Click here to review the item) the Town Council heard an introduction of a zoning amendment that would increase the maximum allowed ground floor tenant area for wholly enclosed places of assembly, amusement, recreation, culture, and government in the VC1 District from 50,000 square feet to 100,000 square feet. At that time, the Council deferred scheduling a public hearing on that amendment until after tonight's public forum. As part of this item, the Council may further discuss this zoning amendment introduction and whether it should be scheduled for a public hearing in its present form or with amendments.
