Development of Regional Impact Exemption Decision-October 2023-Page 1
dated 3/17/2023, labeled Lot 1 (9.70 acres), Lot 2(14.89 acres), Lot 3 (3.62 acres),and Lot 4
(2.92 acres).
F2. The Applicant submitted an application to the Town of Barnstable seeking Site Plan Review
to divide the parcels as described above.The Commission received a mandatory DRI
referral for the Project from the Town of Barnstable Building Commissioner on July 20,
2023.
F3. The Project literally qualifies as a DRI because it meets or exceeds the DRI review threshold
appearing in Section 3(c)of the Enabling Regulations Governing Review of Developments of
Regional Impact, ChapterA of the Code of Cape Cod Commission Regulations of General
Application, as amended November 17,2021 ("Enabling Regulations`l. Said Section 3(c)
provides:
'Any development that proposes to divide parcel(s)of land totaling 30 acres or more in common
ownership or control on or after September 30, 1994, including assembly and recombination of
lots[and is]—not otherwise exempted from review under Section 22(e)of the Act."
F4. Where a proposed development literally qualifies as a DRI, Section 12(k)of the Cape Cod
Commission Act and Section 7 of the Enabling Regulations state:
'Any applicant may apply to the Commission for an exemption from Commission review... where
the location, character and environmental effects of the development will prevent its having any
significant impacts on the values and purposes protected by the Act outside of the municipality
in which the development is to be located."
F5. The Applicant submitted a DRI Exemption application for the Project to the Commission on
September 29, 2023. The application was determined to be complete on October 2,2023.
F6. The location, character and environmental effects of the Project will prevent it having any
significant impacts on the values and purposes specified under the Act.
A. The Project is a division of land and does not propose any physical building or
structural development work.
B. The Project is consistent with values,goals and purposes of the Cape Cod
Commission Act and the Regional Policy Plan.
CONCLUSION
Based on the above Findings,the Commission hereby further finds and determines that,though
the Project literally qualifies as a DRI, it may nonetheless be exempted from Commission DRI
review because the Project will have no significant impacts on the values and purposes specified
in Section 1 of the Cape Cod Commission Act outside of the municipality in which it is proposed
due to the Project location, character, and environmental effects.As such,the Commission hereby
grants the DRI Exemption requested by BV Southwind, LLC for the Project described herein,
subject to the Conditions, below.
