[Kevin Harrington]: 所以,保拉,你将从上面进行介绍。
[Unidentified]: 哦,她要推进幻灯片。
[Kevin Harrington]: 出色地。 然后我们失去了麦克风。
[Unidentified]: 我会把它。 所以我不能,我不能为每个人都买车?
[Kevin Harrington]: 是的,那应该没问题。 我会想来这里。
[Unidentified]: 是的,我的意思是,我可以走另一条路,你知道,我们能做的就是移动那把椅子。
[Emily Innes]: 直到这里。
[Unidentified]: 那将是完美的。 我坐了这把椅子。 我想这里。
[Emily Innes]: 保拉的兜帽和侧床单很高,会被风吹走。 宝拉,我们的评论表非常棒。
[Unidentified]: 宝拉接过屏幕。 我要让候诊室的人进来,因为这里有人。
[Adam Hurtubise]: 经济适用房。 是的,是的。
[Alicia Hunt]: 对此有写作限制。 这就是为什么你总是必须转售它。 事实上,丹妮尔是这方面的专家。 这是丹妮拉? 你确实可以,但是……你永远不可能得到意外之财。 但你可以获得某种好处。 我不……那是丹妮尔吗? 这些问题恐怕...
[Adam Hurtubise]: 这是出租。 这是出租。

[Alicia Hunt]: 哦,我派克里斯蒂安出去了。 让我们继续吧。 保拉也是联合主持人吗? 是的,她可以分享。 她不一定能做到这一点。 现在,在我们开始之前,你能让候诊室的人进来,直到我坐在这里吗? 无论谁出现,都让所有人进来。
[Adam Hurtubise]: 一切都好。
[Unidentified]: 好吧,让我们快速计算一下。 Zoom 上有 14 个。 是的。 所以 1、2、3、4、5、6 不是。 Zoom 上有 6 名非城市雇员或技术人员。 一切都好。 我们这里有 2、3、4、5、6、7。 克里斯蒂安、我、贝克、你。
[Alicia Hunt]: 建筑专员,劳雷尔在我的办公室,特蕾莎在我的办公室。
[Unidentified]: 我们在哪里? 现在是下午 6 点 05 分左右。 是的,我刚刚发了一条消息说,让我几分钟后开始。 是的,这通常发生在已经可用的情况下,只是因为我想尊重房间里的人,而且还有四个人,实际上是两个人睡在房间里。 是的。 是的。 她是屏幕共享者吗? 当我们准备好共享屏幕时,屏幕就会被共享。 你想让我们有很多人吗? 我认为它很有用,因为它可以让人们知道 Zoomie 何时处于正确的位置。 嘿,你在房间喝完酒后来接我吧。 是的,我已经拿走了一些东西,所以如果你愿意的话,请稍等一下,然后我们开始。 嗯,远程的人可能正在说话。
[Alicia Hunt]: 我想说他们正在与 Emily 轻声交谈,并会在 Zoom 上听我们讲话。 所以这是麦克风? 那是他们的麦克风。
[Unidentified]: 您可以在 YouTube 上听到我们讨论任何事情。
[Emily Innes]: 尤其是当他们这样做的时候。 是的。
[Alicia Hunt]: 一旦我们开始演示,我就会让人们进来。 我只是说了,只要我们在这里,就没有人会看。 我们一进去,克里斯蒂安就会在电脑上说话。
[Emily Innes]: 好的,太好了。
[Alicia Hunt]: 那个麦克风也是实时的。 一定是那个正在抓我们的人。
[Unidentified]: 好吧,我和我一样。 它会关闭吗? 我想是的。 它不会关闭。
[Alicia Hunt]: 因为它捕捉到了大量的环绕声,人们认为,“我们只能在这里拥有。”
[Unidentified]: 就是这样?
[Alicia Hunt]: 好的。 是的,因为它不适合卧室。
[Unidentified]: 现在它并没有沉默。 好吧,当你准备好时,艾丽西亚,你静音还是我静音? 它应该是我灵魂中唯一的一个。 是的,他确实不想让我做介绍。 一切都好。 好吧,我的笔记本电脑扬声器。 我不知道你的意思是什么。 哦,让我关掉我的手杖。 是的,我们做到了。
[Matt Leming]: 欢迎阅读我们在梅德福广场所做的一些工作的分区更新。 今晚会有一群有些舒适的人群。 但谢谢你。 感谢大家参加并参与这个过程,感谢大家,感谢大家调整变焦和/或谁决定稍后查看录制内容。 我叫马特·莱明。 我是梅德福的议员。 我是规划和许可委员会的主席。 迪娜·卡利格罗 (Dina Caliguero) 也加入了我们的行列,她是梅德福社区发展委员会的成员,市议会正在与该委员会合作。 这里有一些数量问题,市议会正在与谁合作,与社区互动并批准其中一些分区变更,这将导致梅德福广场更加充满活力和便利。 规划、发展和可持续发展办公室主任艾丽西亚·亨特 (Alicia Hunt) 和我们团队的专家之一,以及来自英尼斯土地集团 (Innes Land Group) 的艾米丽·英尼斯 (Emily Innes) 也加入了我们的行列。 市政府正在与谁合作,帮助我们真正将一些专家归零,以便在我们完成重新分区过程时为市政府提供专业知识? 他还与梅德福市高级规划师丹尼尔·埃文斯合作。 还有其他人被我忽视了吗?
[Alicia Hunt]: 我们要感谢 MCM 的工作人员。
[Matt Leming]: 但是,是的,我还要向梅德福社区媒体的工作人员和志愿者表示衷心的感谢,感谢他们帮助组织了这一切。 我看到凯文·哈灵顿、马克·戴维森,他们需要一段时间才能让他们的晚上帮助组织这次会议。 我要感谢大家来到这里聆听我们的演讲。 有关该过程的一些信息。 我会让你们无聊几分钟。 因此,这些分区变更在大规模一般法下运作的方式是,分区变更来自市议会、民选官员和 批准分区变更的程序是将其转发给规划委员会,即梅德福的社区发展委员会。 这就是为什么我们一直在市议会和社区发展委员会之间举行联合公开听证会,以听取居民对其中一些分区变更的反馈。 要与市议会和中央商务区正式讨论这些分区变更,您需要向我们发送电子邮件或参加其中一场公开听证会,下一场听证会将于 3 月 25 日下午 6 点在市政厅举行。以便了解您的意见。 我们计划庆祝一些 演讲后的问题和解答。 但应该指出的是,除非通过电子邮件发送或写在某种卡片上并稍后提交给议会,否则不会被正式记录为公众意见。 但这里的人们正在倾听你们所有人的声音。 我们真的很关心你。 公众对此有何看法,并以尽可能最好的方式让人们参与这一过程。 因此,让我们非正式地将此事提交给两个理事会。 但请注意,如果您想对听到的任何内容发表意见,最好稍后向市议会和中央商务区发送电子邮件。 也就是说,我将首先将麦克风递给艾丽西亚·亨特,她将进行自我介绍。 是的。
[Alicia Hunt]: 晚安。 感谢您的光临。 我今晚只是想打扫一下,就像我们在公开会议时所做的那样。 对于我们许多人来说,这也不是一个典型的空间,所以我会让大家知道,出口标志下方有一个直接通往外部的出口。 我们那里也有一张登记表。 我们将很乐意获取您的信息。 我们还有实物评论卡。 因此,如果您需要一些反馈,请与他握手。 把它交给论坛,这样他们就可以填写并交给我们,艾米丽的团队正在转录它,这样我们就可以与 CD 板和市政厅分享,这样他们就可以写下来,这正式成为他们的评论。 另外,对于 Zoom 上的用户,我们有一个在线表格,也许 Christian 可以获取该表格的 URL,并将其放入在线任何人的聊天中。 我认为人们总是对此感到好奇。 我们有 15 人在线,其中 8 人是公民。 其余为工作人员和技术人员。 然后我们,等等,我数了一下,房间里有九个还是十个? 这些是房间里的观众成员10,观众成员。我觉得使用 Zoom 的人总是想知道房间里有多少人,房间里的人也想知道有多少人在使用 Zoom。 所以我想分享这个。 如果你出去的话,我们这里也有卫生间,所以这是我右边礼堂的另一个出口,可以带你到学校的主大厅。 对于那些不了解学校的人来说,如果你穿过大厅,前面,你几乎会看到男女洗手间。 我认为他们说的是男人和女人。 你可以说男孩和女孩。 但它们就在那里,而且是真人大小。 这不像小学。 而且那里还有水源。 但我们要求您不要在学校周围闲逛。 今晚我们只使用礼堂的浴室。 我认为这些都是我们在评论卡中捕获的所有内容,我将把它交给 Emily Innis 和她的团队,作为我们聘请来帮助我们完成这个项目的咨询团队。
[Emily Innes]: Thank you so much Councilor Leming and Alicia. Good evening. Thank you all very much for being here in person to those of you who are online. Thank you very much for being online we appreciate your participation. So what I'm going to do is walk you through where we are today where we are in the process Councilor Leming gave you kind of the overview I'm going to go into a little bit more depth on that. show you some of the things that we've been doing in terms of research into the existing zoning and built environment of Medford square how that has been informing what we're doing. Talk to you a little bit about how the public hearing has been changing what we're putting out for the, the changes for the city council and the CD board to consider. and how we're taking public comment from tonight, from both here and from zoom and incorporating that into the work so this is still very much a process we did meet with some people earlier I'm going to talk about that. If you can click on the, just click on the PDF again. There we go, beautiful. So these are the things that we'll be talking about. So just where we are overall in our scope as consultants working with the city, we are in phase one. So we're working on Medford Square, there's some items for cleaning up in the zoning that we're assisting with, but primarily in this phase one, we are working on Medford Square. Once this zoning has been complete and gone all the way through, We will be moving to working on Tufts institutional and also Boston Avenue, and that takes us to the end of June so these are just the things that we're talking about now, you can see we have two community meetings this is community meeting. Number two, for the Medford square process we are meeting with the city officials that's the joint hearings primarily although we did bring the CD board up to speed on the whole zoning process, and then in phase two we will also have to community meetings. and the same four meetings on those joint boards. So just so you know where we are with that. In terms of a timeline, you can see second public meeting right here, March 11th, where first public meeting was at the senior center. It was a daytime meeting. So what we're trying to do is capture people at the different times and places that work for them. We then had that joint hearing on February 25th with the city council and the CD board. The two groups together discussed some things that they would like us to delve further into, and we've been working on that. So on March 25th, we will be presenting our recommended changes based on what we heard on 219, what the city council and the city board gave us on 225, and what we're hearing from people today. So it's one of the many reasons we really appreciate you being here. After that, we will get any further instructions from changes or anything, but at that joint hearing on 325, the two groups will be talking about the next stages. So, let's talk a little bit about why we're here doing zoning for Medford square we've really got some major planning documents that the city has done over the last few years. The top being the Medford comprehensive plan and 2023 that laid out a vision for the city. actions and recommendations. And one of those was to work on zoning and had some very specific ideas and vision around Medford Square. Now, the comprehensive plan is only the latest in the series of planning documents that the city has done for Medford Square. So we have delved back through those, including going all the way back to 2005. There were some intervening studies, but we wanted to give you the earliest. The city also did a climate action and adaptation plan in 2022, and that has fed into some of our ideas for development standards. In other words, if you are going to do building in Medford Square, what standards is the city requiring that you meet? So that feeds into part of it. Talk about some of the other things that feed into the standards as we go through. So the first thing we start off with is the existing zoning and there are two major districts commercial one is the the pink zoning district you see on your screen apartment two is the orange and then there's a sort of yellowy orange general residential. that's just on, I think it's about maybe two or three parcels in this area. So we've primarily been focusing on commercial one and apartment two to understand what's allowed. Now, commercial one, strangely enough, allows commercial uses. You would expect that. And apartment two allows residential uses. One of the things that has been part of the vision for Medford Square is this idea of mixed use. Mixed use could be mixed use within the same building or mixed use within the same lot. That's coming out of planning discussions and theory and practice about residential supporting the local businesses. If you get enough people living in an area, they support the businesses that exist in that area. One of the things that we have seen over the decades is a hollowing out of downtowns because there's just simply not enough people to support them and the planning practice has been to add the mixed use. to create that support. So that's one of the things, commercial one and apartment two don't allow for that mixed use, so one of the things we're doing is adding that back in. The other thing that's quite interesting, and although the dimensional standards were on that map and on the physical maps we have in the room, We always look to see does the zoning actually allow what the community wants to see and it's quite frequent in New England towns and villages and cities that the building came first. And then the zoning, actually the type of zoning that we mostly have now, which is one very much focused on the separation of uses, turns 100 years old this year. It's the anniversary of a court case that led to what's called Euclidean zoning after Euclid, Ohio. And that zoning was about separating uses, having commercial and having residential, but not putting them together. But most of our communities, especially in New England, are much older than 100 years. And so what we find is at some point zoning came into a community, didn't always zone well for what was already there. So one of the things we look at is what does your current zoning allow? And it doesn't match what you have and doesn't match what you want. And I've just cherry picked height as a dimensional standard because a lot of people, you know, to talk about this, because a lot of people, you know, it's easy to look at a building and say, well, that's four stories or three stories or 10 stories. It's sometimes a little bit harder to say, well, is that front set back 25 feet or is it five feet? Easy if it's zero. So we're going to talk about height. So right now the commercial one district allows for four stories for other permitted uses, which is basically anything other than the multifamily assisted living at six stories or a hotel at 15. So the commercial does allow multifamily, but it doesn't allow mixed use, i.e., multifamily and commercial in the same building. And it allows 15 stories for a hotel. Apartment 2 for, and this is symptomatic by the way, Medford's dimensional standards are pretty much all use-based. So how high, how much, how it fits on the lot is all based on use and not based on district. And what this does is it leads kind of a choppy effect depending on what use comes in. It also limits what can happen if a use you want in an existing building doesn't match the dimensional standards. So an apartment two, remember side by side with commercial one, two and a half stories for a detached single or two family, three stories for an attached single or two family, that's a townhouse or a row house generally, six stories for multifamily, and 15 stories for other permitted uses. We have heard through many conversations with the community that 15 stories is not a height that people have wanted in much of this part of the area, so we're taking that into account. And then we're also looking, well, what happens if you want a mixed use at six stories and that's not allowed? The other thing that, as we think about dimensional standards and uses, that is really important is how do you allow it? Do you allow it by right, which means the person who wants to do something just has to get a building permit? Do you allow it by site plan review, which means the use is by right. You have to allow the use, but you can put some conditions on the building or the site Or do you allow it by special permit, which includes site plan review, but has a higher level of discretion, which means the planning board can say no to the use? So, as you're thinking about this, all of this is coming into play. What do you allow? The where, the how much, the how high, the how wide, where it is on the lot, and then the how do you use it? What is the permitting process? So we also did a lot of maps on the existing conditions. I'm not going to show everything. I believe they're still online for the city's website. We are building a new website which should be ready to launch this week actually. So this shows just the boundary of the area. This is the Medford Square that we're looking at. We have talked about how that boundary should shift and would be really interested in hearing your thoughts. We looked at the existing uses, so just so you know, the lighter yellows, oranges, and browns are residential. Red is commercial, purple is industrial, and the bright blue is municipal use. So we like to know what's on the ground, not just what's zoned, but what's actually there. We looked at the historic buildings. So a historic inventory was done of Medford Square. There are some buildings that are on the National Register. There's one building that has an actual preservation restriction on it, which is deed restricted. There are others that have been deemed to be architecturally significant. There are some where the architectural significance either wasn't there or it's been lost over the years, and some were just noted. So here are some of the buildings that are on the National Register of Historic Places. One of the things that we heard from the Community Development Board in thinking about the zoning is how do we put into place either standards or incentives to protect these buildings, and so that's something that we've been working on. and are looking forward to sharing at the March 25th public hearing. So those are kind of the things, you know, the existing conditions, what's on the ground now, what uses are allowed now, what's the zoning, where are the historic buildings, how do we think of this? And this was the map that was referred from the city council to the community development board last spring. So this is undergoing some changes. We're going to show you some of those. Tonight you can see there's a couple of districts that we more this map is boundary is larger than I just showed you and that's because we've already been making some changes in response to public comment. So you can see a mixed use one which is the paler blue. 2A is the bright blue, 2B is the purple, and mixed-use 3 is the very bright purple in the southeast corner there. There are also some neighborhood zoning districts that are not being discussed now. So taking those neighborhood zoning districts out, you can see again 1B is the lighter blue, 2A, 2B, and 3. The uses mostly remain the same among these mixed-use districts. It's a square. We want a certain amount of commercial and residential and certain types that are appropriate to a downtown of a community. Where the changes really come is in terms of the height and in terms of some of the other dimensional standards. The the setback, which is how far from the edges of the lot you can build and some of those other key standards. So I'm going to actually go back because I can see it here. So we've got two height levels. One is the base height and one is what's called the incentive height. And what this means is that you have a base height that you're allowed to do as of right. You can go and put your building permit in, you may have site plan review depending on what else is going on, but that's allowed as of right. However, if you provide a greater community benefit, and there's a table in the draft zoning that identifies those benefits, if you provide that greater community benefit, you're allowed to go up in height, and how far up you're allowed to go depends on the zone. So for the 1B, and I'm going to talk about some changes that we're proposing in a bit, but for the 1B, it allows four stories by right. In many cases, that's where those buildings are, not all of them. And then it would allow just one more by that incentive in exchange for the public benefits. Public benefits include things like affordable housing, different levels of affordable housing gives you the right to more height and includes some of public amenities as well in terms of things that would be helpful for a downtown area, plazas, parking changes, energy efficient buildings, those sort of things. There's a structure system in there of which benefits allow which levels of height. So 1B, four stories, one incentive. 2A, four stories by right, two incentive. 2B, seven stories by right with two incentive. And 3, which is right up against 93, is eight stories by right and four incentives. There are some quite tall buildings there already. And of course, you're right up against the highway. So for those of you in the room, these tables are up on boards, so you can go and have a look. And if you want to go and have a look and come back and ask a question, that's fabulous as well, but I'm just going to tell you what they are. I realize they're a little bit difficult to see. For those of you online, we can always come back to this if you have a question on it. This will also be available online for anybody who wants to look and then use that form that Director Hunt mentioned. It says the 2025 joint hearing may include additional suggested changes. I will say that the 2025 hearing did include some additional suggested changes on some of these boards, so we're working on those. But what this does is this tells you what building types or uses are allowed in each of these districts. So you can see historic conversion, i.e. the conversion of an existing historic house into more than one dwelling unit is allowed in 1B and 2A. A multiplex, which is four to six dwelling units, is allowed in 1B and 2A. And then after that, multi-unit dwelling, six or more, because this is a downtown, we do want to have more units. The commercial building and the mixed-use buildings, these are allowed in all of the districts, but the height varies by district and other dimensional standards vary by district. These are the dimensional standards, so just running down what dimensional standards are, so I think I said before they govern where you can build in terms of what lot sizes and also where the building is on the lot. So they range from the lot area, which is just the square footage of the lot. There's a minimum lot area that's required that has the frontage, which is the length of the lot along the street is what the frontage is. The facade build out is how much of that length has to be the building facade. In other words, how much building you have to have. That's important for walkability. What we don't want is large gaps between buildings that break up the teeth. You don't have a lot of those now, and we don't want to create an incentive to create those. Active ground floor talks about what's happening. If you're a pedestrian walking along, what can you see? Now, it used to be that active ground floors were just retail or restaurant, but what we found is that depending on the market cycle when something is built, It can be really hard to require that. People were building mixed-use buildings and leaving the ground floor empty because they couldn't fill it. So now when we think about active uses, we think about things that are just beyond retail and residential. It could be, for example, a building that also has, if it has a multifamily, It has the active lobby, it's got the common spaces, the spaces that create some sort of sense of vitality. It might be a public plaza counts as your active space where people can sit. Maybe there's a cafe in the building so people can sit and eat outside. So the planning theory has been to expand that in many communities. The base height is what I was just talking about, the height of the building and then the incentive height. Setbacks are how far away the building is from the front, the side, or the rear lot lines. Building coverage is how much of the lot is covered by the building itself. Pervious surface is how much of the lot allows water to filter into the ground underneath. This is really important, especially in downtown areas. We want to make sure that stormwater from a building and a lot are not running off into the public street, are not creating flooding problems, so the pervious surfaces help with that. Open space landscape is how much of the lot actually has green on it, so shrubs, trees, other plantings. Green score is for the higher buildings, so the pervious and the open space landscape applies at some level, but when you get to those taller buildings, The green score is a better measure than open space or pervious surface of how well the building is responding to and interacting with the environment in terms of stormwater efficiency, shade, etc. And that is something that the city passed Last year, no, end of 2024. End of 2024 for the green score. That applies not just to Medford Square, but to any of the districts. And then the parking requirements, how much parking is allowed on the site. So you can have a look at those. Actually, I'm just gonna go back. On the parking requirement, we have been receiving public comment, either at the meetings or written in at the last meeting, that parking is a large concern in Medford Square. That is not a surprise, given the street layouts, given the number of buildings on it. So one of the directions we heard from the February 2025 meeting was this, well, actually got moved. Sorry, I keep referring to it. 2025 joint hearing, but it was actually moved because of the snow to March 3rd. But one of the things that we heard was we need to get more creative on the parking standards and what's allowed. So that is something else that will come back to the March 2025 meeting. We've been working hard on that historic preservation and incentives for that and also on parking standards and some flexibility on that. So this again, because height is such an easy one for us to all think about and understand, some of the other analyses that we did was, I mentioned what's existing now, so this is an example of how as we're developing the zoning, we're going back and saying, okay, what's going to be the impact of the zoning as we make these changes? So we looked at, there's the aerial view, we looked at the existing building height, the allowed height based on the existing zoning, and then the allowed height in the proposed zoning. So we can get a sense of what's there already. This becomes really important when you're trying to incentivize certain things. So for example, for a historic building, If that historic building is four stories, we may want to put it in a district where the height is four stories because we don't want to incentivize a change to that. Whereas if we have an empty lot, we may want to make the stories higher because we want to incentivize some sort of change. So just the considerations we think about as we go back and forth. So, almost done. Next steps. Here we are. We are listening, we hope, to your comments and questions tonight. If you have them written for us, we'll take them back with us, or if you want to think about it and put the question in the online form, that would be great. And then March 25th, we are back to the joint hearing. We're going to provide our response, the directions that we received, and anything that we heard from today, and then just hear what the joint boards have to say about that, see if we need to provide anything else, or if they're at a point where they say, okay, now we need to have our own discussions. So as I said, really pleased that you're all here tonight. I'm going to stop talking and we're happy to take some questions. Don't know how you guys want to do that, so I'm going to turn it over to you, Councilor Leming.
[Matt Leming]: 好的。 嗯,谢谢。 非常感谢艾米丽的演讲。 所以此时,如果有人有任何问题、评论、意见、贡献、担忧或任何您想说的 呃,这个演讲很高兴听到。 我还要感谢我的同事、女议员安娜·卡拉汉 (Anna Callahan),她于下午 6:30 左右抵达,这也是另一个资源,艾丽西亚 (Alicia),Zoom 是否可以回答虚拟现场人士的问题? 就是这样
[Alicia Hunt]: 就是这样,除非人们希望我停止,否则您是否希望我停止屏幕共享?是的,我们经常会在 Zoom 上与想要举手的人来回交流。我们可以打电话给他们。如果人们可以在问答功能中将问题输入或输入到 Zoom 中,则您已启用问答功能。 或者举手,我们可以重新激活它。 如果房间里的人有问题,我们有麦克风。 保拉拿着麦克风。 所以,一切都很好。 对不起。 所以保拉为房间里的人准备了麦克风。 我们必须使用. 对不起,我不应该看屏幕。 我们必须使用麦克风,以便 Zoom 上的人可以听到房间里的人的声音。 然后,我们可以分发它。 然后,在 Zoom 上举手。 我不知道你是否听说过。 显然这是一个问题。 如果你想问问题、发表评论或在房间里举手,而保拉这样做了,我会给你打电话,除非马特,你想打电话给别人。 但我会在 Zoom 和 Zoom 之间切换。
[Matt Leming]: 音频是否设置好以便我们可以听到?
[Alicia Hunt]: 是的,Kevin 正在处理这个问题,这样如果他们在 Zoom 上提问,我们就可以听到 Zoom 音频。 啊,我的聊天记录肯定被隐藏了。 我的聊天说不,哦不,只是不,他们显示的屏幕还没有删除聊天。 是的,目前实际上没有人举手,聊天中也没有任何内容。 有人什么都没有吗? 必须有人提出意见或问题。 一切都好。 所以我们房间里有一个。 因此,对于技术帮助,我们只想确保这个麦克风是,Paolo,你想和他谈谈吗? 不,我的意思是,凯文,也许我们不知道如何打开房间麦克风。
[Unidentified]: 我知道你在触摸它,但里面有文字。
[Alicia Hunt]: 抱歉,凯文来了。 您希望我们使用它吗?
[Maryanne Adduci]: 它有一个带有电缆的。 我们不这样做。
[Alicia Hunt]: 他可以。 这是否意味着人们必须来这里? 我们不能。 是的。 这是我椅子后面的极限吗? 这将更进一步。
[Kevin Harrington]: 就这样,哦。 你可以开始了。
[Alicia Hunt]: 想从这个开始吗? 但不幸的是你必须来这里。 如果你等一下或者你可以谈谈它。
[SPEAKER_03]: 我的问题是关于塞勒姆街的变电站。 谁拥有土地?
[Alicia Hunt]: 国家电网拥有这块土地。 这是一个国家网络。
[SPEAKER_03]: 您有长期租约吗? 我的意思是,你打算离开那里还是情况如何?
[Alicia Hunt]: 好的。 因此,国家电网拥有这块土地,并且从未向我们表明它打算用这块土地做任何其他事情。 我们相信这对他们来说是一个重要的变电站。 但通常经销商不会轻易移动这样的东西。
[SPEAKER_03]: 好的。 这就是我想知道的。
[Alicia Hunt]: 出色的。 谢谢。 我只想说,Zoom 上没有人动手。 没有双手使用 Zoom。 我的麦克风刚刚停止工作。 我们正在使用这个。
[Kevin Harrington]: 如果你可以继续这个,我会把它带到展位,看看是否可以把它拿回来。
[Alicia Hunt]: 迈克现在正在工作。 水平准备好了吗? 好吧,好吧。
[Paul Garrity]: 你好,我想感谢你所做的出色工作,但我的问题是,听今晚的演讲,你谈到了使用分区和地区分区。 我想知道:最终形式的分区是否会反映对交通的影响? 您知道,如果我们在广场的某些部分有某些用途,那么分区将如何纳入或反映今天通过该区域的大量交通?
[Alicia Hunt]: 艾米丽,你想要,这是你之前回答过的。
[Emily Innes]: 这是一个很好的问题。 交通经常成为分区项目中的一个问题,因此在分区期间通常不会对交通进行建模,这是因为分区允许某人做某事,但您知道建筑物所有者可能在 50 年内甚至到那时都不会对其建筑物做任何事情。 任何交通预测都是无效的,因此分区不能解决这个问题,但在知识计划审查或特别许可过程中会考虑到这一点,以便当时可以进行交通研究,以了解任何单独开发对广场的影响。 我们有在白天和晚上的不同时间开车穿过广场的经验,所以我们理解这种担忧,但这不是分区通常解决的问题。 我认为其中之一也会影响我们在停车管理方面所做的工作,因为如果人们没有地方停车,停车和交通往往会齐头并进。 他们可能会绕几圈,这对交通没有帮助。 如果他们有其他替代方案,例如公交线路,并鼓励他们使用它们,它不会解决捕获问题,但它将有助于解决其中的某些部分。 所以我们知道这是一个问题,但这不一定是分区本身可以完全解决的问题。 当一位候选人出现解决这个问题时就会发生这种情况。 艾丽西亚,我不知道你还有什么其他的事情吗?
[Kevin Harrington]: 麦克风控制一、二。 抱歉打扰了朋友们,但是您的有线麦克风(而不是无线麦克风)现在应该可以工作了。
[Alicia Hunt]: 谢谢凯文。
[Matt Leming]: 谢谢凯文。 现在我们有三个麦克风了,朋友们。 不,我在 Zoom 上没有看到有人举手。 如果有人想问问题,请随时单击“缩放”图标。
[Maryanne Adduci]: 你好,我叫雷内。 我住在阿什兰街 11 号。 感谢您参加这次会议。 我正在尝试想象如果我们允许塞勒姆街上有 15 层楼会是什么样子。
[Alicia Hunt]: 事实上,需要明确的是,15层是目前允许的,但不是提议的。 唯一提议的地点是已经有12层的高层建筑所在的两个地块。 这两个地块以及酒店所在的高速公路旁边的地块以及 Transom 打算建造停车场的地块。 目前拟建为四层停车场。 所以实际上现在这些包就可以容纳 15 个。 啊,这个建议最多是13层。 现在,有人可以提议在梅德福广场中央建造一座 15 层的酒店,并且会被允许。 引用的话,目前被列为二号公寓的所有区域的所有其他用途都可以是 15 层。 所以,事实上,分区较少。 超过目前允许的最大值。 今天我不允许的是一座15层的公寓楼。 这是不允许的。 这有一点帮助吗? 因为我们也没有想到。 我们认为这不应该被允许。
[Maryanne Adduci]: 我主要关心的问题之一是我们如何维护我们的社区,使其成为真正的我们的社区? 因为我们已经在那里呆了 40 多年了。 我们喜欢在那里。 我们想继续住在那里,但我不知道如果我们周围的一切都被各种建筑物所包围,没有绿地,那会是什么样子。 首先,这里没有太多的绿地,这是我所担心的。
[Alicia Hunt]: 大部分分区。 所以我们预计您会对一些故事感兴趣,现在的一些故事,梅德福广场的那些空地。 我们将它们放入 RFP 中,并询问人们想用它们做什么。 而他们最想爬的就是七层楼。 那将在市政厅旁边的大楼里。 想想看,他们正在提议另一个靠近河流的地方,如果我不看电脑就无法判断它是四层还是五层,我很抱歉,但这就是他们的提议,也是他们想要在那个位置做的事情。 我们认为真正对社区有利的是河滨大道上的所有单层建筑, 和河流,这样也许他们会有两层公寓,因为这样就会有更多的人下来,使用咖啡馆,使用餐馆,在广场上过夜并享受一些夜生活,而无需人们开车。 目前,广场上几乎所有的夜生活都是由开车来剧院的人组成的。 这会在晚上没有演出的时候带来一些活动。 在剧院 这或多或少就是我们所看到的。 我不知道你是否有什么想要补充的。 你说的有一句话我漏掉了。 啊,或多或少是关于绿地的。 因此,目前我们的分区中没有要求的事情之一是渗透性,例如水可以渗透的土壤。 而且我们没有真正好的环境要求。 因此,绿色评分是人们为草、树木、灌木丛、绿墙得分,你知道,也许你把绿色植物放在墙上。 因此,添加一点内容,我认为您可以更好地讨论该领域的一些细节。
[Emily Innes]: 嗯,实际上我要把它交给保拉,她帮助开发了它。 对不起,宝拉。 但我要说的是,我们认识到梅德福广场没有太多绿地。 我们也认识到人们对梅德福广场附近住宅区的担忧。 因此,我们实施了一些标准。 其中之一是保持身高。 他们必须搬离居民区。 我们还没有提出,但我们已经讨论过,我们将在 3 月 25 日的会议上提供文本,这是一个日光分数,它要求这些建筑物中有一定的最低日光量,这显然会对设计产生影响。 不知道您是否想谈谈绿分的目的以及可以导致绿分的一些事情。
[Paula Ramos Martinez]: 是的,绿色分数就是这样。 正试图考虑更多建设的更大影响,试图使绿色和生态的雨水管理比现在更好。 所以你可以有一个菜单,里面有很多你可以做的不同的事情。 它是基于改善网站生态系统的。 所以如果你有树,更大的树,会给你更多的分数。 如果您有有助于吸收水分的绿色屋顶,您会获得更多积分。 渗透性表面给予更多分数。 因此,我们有一个所有发展必须达到的最低标准,以实现水管理和更好的公共健康。 此外,该分区计划试图做的是更好地与沿河已有的公共空间建立联系。 那么如何在现场改进这一点呢? 那么,我们如何才能对已经存在但尚未真正使用的东西进行更多的关联使用呢?
[Maryanne Adduci]: 我同意我们在梅德福广场拥有丰富的资源,但我们如何才能使它们对每个人都有用呢? 我几乎听不到你说话。 对不起。 我同意我们在梅德福广场拥有丰富的资源。 合而为一的握力。 我们怎样才能让每个人都能享受到这一点,让每个人都能享受并过上更健康的生活? 气氛。 这就是我关心的问题。 感谢您的聆听。
[Alicia Hunt]: 由于我们没有太多疑问,所以我会多解释一点。 因为两件不同的事情正在发生。 其中之一是分区。 人们能做什么? 他们可以做什么? 他们不被允许做什么? 另外就是从2020年开始,该市设立了经济发展总监的职位。 发展和经济发展团队、我们、在我办公室工作的人,以及那些与开发商和土地所有者接触得更多的人,比这个城市在只有市长之前的实际接触程度要多。 社区发展总监正在做这件事。 我们说我们确实需要更多的人致力于此。 因此,真正拥有 Riverside 和 Clippership 之间所有这一切的人是一家公司和一个人。 我们一直在与他互动,试图与他合作提供帮助。 我们如何鼓励您开发一些东西? 您在 Clippership 大道对面有生意的地方。 我们可以做些什么来鼓励它? 您可能已经注意到,其中一些建筑物现在是空的。 这是他的选择。 其中一间状况不佳,需要翻新。 但我们正在想办法让他高兴起来。 做一些面向 Clippership Drive 的事情,因此面朝河流,也许是一些可供用餐的露台或类似的东西。 我们能否与他合作,在套餐内重新分配城市停车位或以其他方式,这样您就不再只是坐在那里看车? 或者至少你可以看到 Clippership Drive,但看不到所有停放的汽车,对吗? 我们如何才能更好地利用那里的空间? 我再说一遍:我们正在尝试与他合作,但并非所有 Landover 开发商都像其他开发商那样乐于接受。 这就是为什么我们对我们的土地感到非常兴奋,因为我们可以控制我们正在做的事情,所以我每周与该开发机构、该开发公司的人员及其主管会面不止一次。 我们如何打造一个袖珍公园?我们去喝点咖啡吧。不知道你有没有听说过,他正在和一家超市合作,来那里开店。 所以我们正在努力完成这个项目,因为我们认为这些事情确实使广场受益。 因此,他致力于的另一件事是做大量与此相关的公共艺术,特别是在这一部分中,但他将资助这些艺术作为其中的一部分。 我们一直在谈论停车场,但市长和我向他明确表示,我们不希望它继续这样下去。 混凝土停车场,怎样才能好看呢?如果你曾经去过装配线,你会说,“哦,那是一种有趣的壁画,”然后你说,“哦,实际上,它后面隐藏着一个停车场,”好像这就是我们想要的感觉。 他的提议中包含了他同意这样做的内容。 因此,与业主合作与分区是分开的,但我们从一开始就鼓励这样做。 因此,与我们在地块上合作的横梁开发商的业主向我们提供了非常具体的建议,说明在分区中什么可行、什么不可行,以使他的地块发挥作用。 虽然我们询问了其他一些业主是否愿意给我们评论和意见,但我什么也没得到。 这就是我们正在努力做的事情的一部分:建立这些关系。
[Emily Innes]: 是的,艾丽西亚,如果我能谈谈分区的话,当你进行分区时,这真的很有趣,因为对于分区的运作方式存在很多误解。 我想澄清的是,该分区不具有追溯力,也就是说,它未经批准,因此每个已经拥有企业或建筑物的人都必须遵守该分区,该分区在发生变化时生效。 因此,如果有任何变化,我们谈论的有关绿色分数、一些尺寸标准、一些停车和保护的内容都会出现。 并不是说已经存在了一段时间的A公司就必须遵守。 这有时可以减轻忧虑,但你知道,它也可能增加忧虑。 好吧,我以为我们会得到 X。好吧,还没有人得到许可。 这就是为什么我说分区提供许可证。 创造一些机会。 它有一些局限性,但并不强迫任何人改变。 我认为这座城市在梅德福广场有一个独特的机会,可以利用它来进行更近或更近的搬迁。 但其中一些事情是可以的,有人可能会在明年做出这种改变,有人可能会在五年后做出改变。 因此,我们正在尝试做的是倾听社区的意见,通过权限和限制的适当平衡来设置这些条件,这就是我们希望在此过程中听到的,然后允许那些拥有房产的人,无论是城市业主还是私人业主,都在努力实现这些目标。 所以,你知道,如果我们想听到更多绿色环保的东西,你的反馈非常重要。 您真正重要的交通问题是我们尝试将其纳入分区的问题。
[Unidentified]: 还有其他问题吗?
[Matt Leming]: 不,我不再在 Zoom 上看到问题。 还有拉尔夫吗? 拉尔夫?
[Ralph Klein]: 我的问题是:您看到太阳能权利受到什么影响? 因为这是一条东西走向的走廊。 您已经在塞勒姆街 300 号找到了这个地方,后面的公寓大部分时间都处于阴凉处。 现在,我不知道确切的数字,但我认为你需要一天中有 50% 到 60% 的时间有太阳能才能在家里安装太阳能。 我家有太阳能。 我有高速热泵。 我们转换了这一切。 效果非常好。 但是,如果你在这些一层和两层建筑前面放一栋很高的建筑,你会得到什么呢? 另一个问题是,自从环岛建成以来,梅德福广场的交通状况一直很糟糕。 其士礼堂已被使用,但停车位很糟糕。 您需要获得更多停车位,您想在 300 Salem Street 做什么 14 个单元的 8 个停车位可减少至 9 个。 您应该在梅德福广场保留 1.5 号线,供前往那里的建筑物使用,并为前往那里的企业提供额外的停车场。 我的理解是,城市没有,如果你的楼里有办公楼或者商业单位,就不需要提供停车位。 我在塞勒姆街 300 号发现了这个。 没有停车场,仅供居民使用。 他们将在那里开展业务。 因此,我们也必须考察这一方面。 如果您打算将这些一楼用作商业咖啡店,您需要考虑这一点。 我们必须考虑这些街道上人们的太阳能权利。 这是一条东西走向的走廊。 这是我的声明。 谢谢。 问题?
[Emily Innes]: 因此,我们在之前的一次会议中所做的一件事本应出现在城市分区页面上的演示文稿中,因为我们再次向社区发展委员会展示了它,我们做了一些阴影研究,以显示阴影相对于建筑物的落在何处。 适用于广场内整个社区的建筑物。 正如我所提到的,我们提出了一个日光标准,但它着眼于它如何到达立面而不是屋顶。 所以,你知道,我们希望你认识的人在住宅楼里得到最少的阳光。 影子研究,我认为他们没有表现出任何可以击中天花板的东西,所以它就在街对面。 但我们可以再看一下这个问题来解决这个问题。 至于交通和交通,我的意思是,我们听到了。 我非常感谢您对停车的评论。 我们仍在研究如何为基础级别提供更大的灵活性。 因此,我们将在 3 月 25 日之前发布相关内容。 但你的评论确实很有帮助。 不知道你还有什么想要补充的吗? 关于你为什么提到商业法规。 是的。
[Matt Leming]: 是的,我可以接受。 我无法回答这方面的所有细节,因为顾问们仍在提出与停车相关的建议,我们将在 3 月 25 日的会议上听到这些建议。我要说的是关于分区可以解决和不能解决的范围的一般观点。 我要说的是,梅德福广场的大部分交通是因为交通来自 93 号,并且分散在整个梅德福广场。 这不是分区一百万年就能解决的问题。 这就是我们必须开始让国家参与的地方。 这就是我们需要讨论梅德福广场交通模式的潜在变化的地方。 这根本不是我们有能力解决的问题。 关于停车,分区对停车有一些影响,但我们不能,例如,改变分区,然后让另一个停车场出现在科琳的后面。 这将取决于国家资助等因素。 这将取决于自诉检察官的决定。 我们可以在分区方面制定激励措施,以鼓励更多呃建筑物,需要建造额外的停车场,但是 但是,是的,很多时候,当我们听到有关这些提案的评论时,我们往往会听到人们可能对梅德福广场产生的许多潜在问题和问题,无论什么区域正在重新分区。 我只是想澄清,分区对未来可能建造的建筑有影响。 如果开发人员决定采用它,他们可能不会,但它不能解决所有类型的问题。 这是我们需要采取的关键一步,但我想澄清这一部分。
[Ralph Klein]: 艾丽西亚,我不知道你是否有什么要补充的...我想说的另一件事是,我知道是环岛造成了问题,但我穿过了整个塞勒姆街。 一日三次,一日四次。 由于新的 93 旋转,一天中的每时每刻都是可怕的。 Eu sei que a cidade não tem nada a dizer sobre isso。 国家犯下了这场惨败。 这绝对是个笑话。 我们看到一辆警车试图掉头,所有的车辆都试图从桥下走,但没有成功。 他们需要对此进行扩展并以此为起点。 当你在梅德福广场时, 远离环岛并让路给从北侧 93 号出口出来的人。 这是城市应该有发言权的事情。 另一部分是,如果你把公寓楼靠近企业,企业需要定位,他们需要定位。 一个简易的四层停车场,能停多少辆车? 你们会在那里建造的建筑物中容纳人们吗? 或者他们会决定搬到那个四层停车场? 这应该更多是为来广场的人提供的,而不是为住在广场的人提供的停车位。 住在广场的人必须有自己的停车位,不能走到小街上。 当他们在塞勒姆街和法院街建造公寓时,停车位减少到公园街。 中东被称为公园街。 但塞勒姆街的所有企业白天都在那里停车,所以居民没有停车位。 It will reach people living in Ashland and Oakland and everywhere else if it happens. 您需要着眼于长期结果并了解过去发生的事情。 当他们建造那个公寓、水槽大楼时,他们停了很多车。 我走遍了整个城市,主要是在北侧或格伦代尔地区, 但如果我沿着高街去西梅德福,我就会走过去。 我发现人口贩卖已经变得非常可怕。 每个人都出现在各处。 塞勒姆街和公园街太糟糕了。 到达罗伯茨初中后,通往 Fellsway 的一路交通堵塞,富尔顿街也被封锁。 我的意思是,停车和交通流量存在很大问题。 而且没有人关心他。 太可怕了。 谢谢。
[Matt Leming]: 谢谢你,拉尔夫。
[Alicia Hunt]: 只是想强调一下,我们知道的一件事是,自大流行以来,使用公共交通的人使用公共交通的次数大大减少了。 越来越多的人拥有了自己的汽车,并习惯了驾驶和停车。 所以这不仅仅是新事物的建造。 Pia 公寓的每个单元有两个停车位。 问题是越来越多的人选择拥有自己的汽车。 开车去某个地方,而不是使用公共交通工具、步行或骑自行车。 我知道很多人不喜欢自行车,我也知道很多人不喜欢旋转自行车。 但作为一个在环岛步行和骑自行车的人,我感觉比以往安全一百万倍。 我的孩子们从五年级起就一直在经历这种迂回。 从塞勒姆街前往市政厅。 我只是希望现在是这样,因为对于那些试图不使用汽车出行的人来说,这要安全得多。 我们为没有汽车的人们提供的生活越方便,就会有越多的人选择步行。 很多人不让自己的孩子去那里,现在他们觉得这样做很舒服。 所以我们必须找到这种平衡。 我们如何获得人才? 有些人必须这样做,我喜欢这样说。 有些人必须使用他们的汽车。 他们别无选择。 但你想支持公共汽车和使用公共汽车的人,因为公共汽车上的每个人都减少了你在车里要对付的人,也减少了一辆造成交通拥堵的汽车。 我只是说我们正在努力找出改变这一点的方法。 但这不是分区。
[Ralph Klein]: 边缘是鹅卵石。
[Alicia Hunt]: 不可以,自行车必须在柏油路上行驶,柏油路宽 12 英尺。 那才是自行车该去的地方。 鹅卵石的存在只是为了防止人们经过并走得太快。
[Ralph Klein]: 就在拐角处。 所以他们不会跳过人行道去翻过鹅卵石。 自行车道可能位于另一侧,靠近行人。
[Alicia Hunt]: 就是这样。 还有那个。 扶轮路上没有自行车道。 自行车不应该放在旋转台上。
[Ralph Klein]: 扶轮社也即将推出。 到达Rotary后,自行车道相当宽阔。 人行道相当宽阔。
[Alicia Hunt]: 没有自行车道。 不,抱歉,塞勒姆街扶轮社没有自行车道。 我骑自行车去那里。
[Ralph Klein]: 我每天开车去那里都会看到一条白线。 他们在公园街修建了一条自行车道。
[Alicia Hunt]: 这不是自行车道,只是一个有标记的路肩。 这只是路肩,不是自行车道。 对不起。
[Matt Leming]: 嗯,是的。 所以我认为我们有很多。 我们有很多时间进行问答,但我在 Zoom 上没有看到任何人。 所以我认为是时候结束了。 如果我们有人亲自到场,如果他们有任何非正式的问题,如果他们不希望自己的问题和疑虑在 YouTube 上直播,请随时亲自与我们联系。 继续争论。 但在此,我要对大家来到这里并参与表示衷心的感谢。 再次感谢梅德福社区媒体组织了这一切并与退伍军人管理局打交道。 非常感谢我们的城市工作人员和顾问也来到这里。 是的,我就到此结束。 请参加 3 月 25 日在市政厅举行的联合公开听证会,听取一些关于如何改变这种情况的更具体建议。 E,新的,您可以通过 medfordma.gov 抄送您的意见或建议,羡慕您的电子邮件,并通过 medfordma.gov 抄送我的会员。 这是什么?
