A ‘Place-Based’ Approach
8/22/2024
Draft Land Use Chapter is organized around a principal of “Compact
Development”and several “Land Use Types”
“Land Use Types”include:
•Residential & Rural Areas
•Regional Economic Center
•Downtown Hyannis/GIZ
•Village Centers
•Commercial Nodes
•Maritime Areas
Goal statements and strategies are built around these places.

Principal of “Compact Development”
8/22/2024
“Compact Development” means development in areas with opportunities to
walk to shopping, work, recreation, and other necessary pursuits.
This can include . . .
“Infill and Redevelopment”which is building in areas where other buildings
and infrastructure already exist and/or redeveloping existing buildings.
and
“Cluster Development”which is when new development is “clustered” to
minimize the land that is built on and maximize preserved natural open space.

Other Land Use Issues
8/22/2024
“Non-Conforming Uses” means existing uses that do not conform to the use
standards of the zoning districts in which they are located. Often commercial
uses in a residential zone.
Many of these uses will transition to residential over time – but should others be
allowed to continue?
“Use Variances”should not be needed if zoning clearly spells out what uses are
desired and needed in each zoning district.
Are there additional areas of Town where use variances should be prohibited?

Draft Future Land Use Map
8/22/2024
“Future Land Use” and “Strategic Planning Areas” are used interchangeably
The 2010 LCP refers to “Strategic Planning Areas”
Either way, this map depicts the planned or future land use designations that
provide general guidance in the density, character, and location of land uses in
the Town based on the Vision of the LCP.
In general, it depicts both . . .
1. Areas of Change – where growth/development or other change is expected
2. Areas of Stability – including conservation lands or neighborhoods that are
expected to remain largely the same over the timeframe of the LCP
Current Land
Use Map

To confirm tonight:
Does this map depict an
accurate vision for future land
use in Barnstable?
Residential &
Rural Areas
8/22/2024 13
Issues to consider:
•What of this area should be
prioritized for conservation?
•Should cluster subdivisions
be required anywhere?
•How will 2-acre parcels in
the RPOD impact the
remaining unsubdivided
land?
•Are parts of this area
suitable for denser housing
or mixed use?
Regional
Economic Center
8/22/2024 14
Issues to consider:
•Should this be divided into
two sections: industrial and
commercial/mixed-use?
•If so, should housing be
allowed in the industrial
section?
•Are you comfortable with
the existing commercial
evolving into mixed-use over
time?
Downtown
Hyannis
8/22/2024 15
Issues to consider:
•Continue to encourage infill
development and adaptive
reuse?
•Stay the course on recent
form-based zoning?
•Continue to look for ways to
improve small open spaces
and the public realm
Village
Centers
8/22/2024 16
Issues to consider:
•Which villages are most
suited for preservation?
•Which can/should absorb
more commercial,
residential, and/or mixed-
use?
•At what scale?
Cotuit Osterville
Centerville
Marstons
Mills
West
Barnstable
Barnstable
Center
Commercial
Nodes
8/22/2024 17
Issues to consider:

required?
•Should any of these nodes
be residential-only?
Maritime
Areas
8/22/2024 18

Issues to consider:
•Are parts of the Residential/
Rural areas suitable for
denser housing, mixed use,

commercial uses that
should be protected?
•Are there any other areas of
expected change?
Breakout Discussions

Refining the Map, “Placing” Strategies
8/22/2024
Two goals of these discussions . . .
1. Suggest priority locations for strategies that are place-based and note them on the base map.
2. Draw on the base map any key areas related to the big picture land use policies discussed for future
land use.
Two Groups
●Conservation Topics (Natural Resources, Culture, Heritage, Design – and Village Centers in the
context of historic preservations)
●Development Topics (Economic Development, Housing, Infrastructure, Facilities – and Village
Centers in the context of infill and redevelopment)
Reconvene at 7:10 PM for a Report Out

Refining the Map, “Placing” Strategies
8/22/2024
As you discuss the strategies and the future land use map, consider the
following . . .
•Where will change be implemented?
•Where has/shouldthe Town change its policies to implement these strategies?
•Are there specific places where you want to see certain things?
•What are the trade offs implied in these choices?
•Are there certain principles or performance standards that should guide the
placing of these strategies?
Reconvene at 7:10 PM for a Report Out
