69. Vision for Union Square
• Vibrant Downtown
Enhance and preserve character of area
• Transit Oriented
Focus on multi-modal development
• Variety of Housing
Artist live/work, family units, affordable mixed income
• Compatible Development
Creating local jobs in office, R&D, and creative industries
• Open Space
Improving green spaces and quality of life

70. Key Organizing Principles p.1
• Facilitate development in opportunity areas
Redevelop underutilized areas
Infill where appropriate
Step down towards established neighborhoods
• Respect transition b/t commercial & residential
Increase setbacks and lower heights near residential
Buffer zones between residential and higher intensity
• Balanced approach to circulation
Pedestrian-friendly uses and building design
Reduce parking requirements
Increase bicycle parking requirements

71. Key Organizing Principles p.2
• Ensure design quality and compatibility
Design guidelines for each area
Upper level step back requirements
Encourage historic buildings to return to original height
• Provide greater certainty
Specific standards so developers know what is expected
No waivers allowed
Most intensive review for new construction
• Encourage sustainable development
Green building incentives
Promote pedestrian and bicycle activity

72. Previous Rezoning Proposal
• Initiated in 2005 with John & Abigail Adams grant
• Version 1 - Some public meetings including November,
December 2006
• Version 2 – Public hearing in April, May 2007; did not
pass BOA consideration in October 2007
• Included:
– Arts Overlay
– PUD C / C-1

73. Improvements From Previous Proposal
Permitting Process
• More detailed development standards and design guidelines
• Not a PUD, therefore no waivers of dimensional or use controls
• More prescriptive ground floor uses to energize street
• Emphasis on building design, with use flexibility for tenancy changes
• Parking reflective of transit access
Study Area
• Expanded rezoning area for a more comprehensive review and proposal
• Better balance of commercial and residential

74. Corridor Commercial District
Purpose:
To manage development along heavily traveled transportation
corridors, especially where those corridors meet at
commercial squares.
Objectives:
• Dovetail transportation and economic development
• Preserve and complement historic structures/character
• Encourage mid-rise commercial mixed use development
• Discourage inappropriate auto-oriented uses
• Promote pedestrian and bicycle activity

75. Proposed AOD (Section 6.1.23)
Purpose:
To preserve and enhance arts-related uses
To preserve and enhance the traditional
characteristics of the Union Square Central
Business District
To promote strong pedestrian scale and
character

76. Transit Oriented Districts
Purpose:
To encourage mixed-use transit-oriented development with well-
designed pedestrian access near transit connections and
commercial squares.
Objectives:
• Facilitate a mix of uses that contribute to a vibrant business
environment and increase street-level activities
• Redevelop vacant or underutilized land with appropriate
density mixed use development
• Increase the supply of affordable housing
• Encourage sustainable development and use of green building
standards

77. TOD Subdistricts:
TOD-55. This lower-density sub-district shall act as a mixed-use buffer
between higher density development and existing lower-density residential
neighborhoods. There are no special ground floor use requirements.
TOD-70. This moderate-density sub-district shall complement nearby existing
developments and serve as a gateway to higher-density districts. A moderate
portion of ground floor uses must be dedicated to identified pedestrian-oriented
uses.
TOD-100. This moderate-density sub-district shall provide a taller, more
commercial core. A portion of ground floor uses must be dedicated to identified
pedestrian-oriented uses, and ground-floor residential uses are prohibited.
TOD-135. This higher-density, tallest sub-district shall provide the largest
economic development opportunities, while being strategically located to
minimize impacts to existing neighborhoods. A moderate portion of ground
floor uses must be dedicated to identified pedestrian-oriented uses.

78. TOD 55
Purpose:
To allow for mixed-use development opportunities in
close proximity to existing lower-density residential
neighborhoods. Where mapped in commercial
squares, development is anticipated to be a mix of
commercial and residential uses. Where mapped on
local serving streets, development is anticipated to be
predominantly residential in nature.

79. TOD 70
Purpose:
This moderate-density sub-district shall
complement nearby existing developments and
serve as a gateway to higher-density districts.
Pedestrian oriented uses are often required in this
sub-district along major public streets to encourage
activity at the street level.

80. TOD 100
Purpose:
To provide a taller, more commercial core, with
opportunities for signature building tops as well as
street-level facades that relate to nearby mid-rise
development. Pedestrian-oriented uses are often
required in this sub-district along major public
streets to encourage activity at the street level.

81. TOD 135
Purpose:
To provide the largest economic development
opportunities, while being strategically located to
minimize impacts to existing neighborhoods. To
offset the density, increased provision of public
open space is expected in this area.

82. Proposed TOD
Use Regulations (section 6.5.5):
Uses Allowed in TOD:
A. Office / R&D / Institutional Use
B. Small Retail and Business (1,500 net square feet or less)
C. Large Retail and Business (More than 1,500 net square feet)
D. Eating and Drinking
E. Residential
F. Other Accommodations
G. Educational/Recreational Services
H. Light Industrial (in TOD 135 only)
I. Other Use

83. Proposed TOD
Use Regulations (section 6.5.5):
Certain sub-districts shall require a minimum dedication of gross floor
area arts-related uses.
(Any combination of defined arts uses (6.5.5.B) may apply subject to SPGA approval)
A certain percentage of the total residential units in the subject
development shall be provided as affordable units.
A percentage of Pedestrian Oriented Uses will be required on the
ground floor in several areas within the TOD district. A combination
of the Use Clusters (section 7.13) A, B, C, Park and Transit shall make
up the ground floor frontage of new construction.
(35% or 65% Pedestrian Uses shall be required where mapped)

84. Proposed TOD
Development Standards (section 6.5.7.A):
Landscaping Requirements – (subject to existing provisions in zoning ordinance)
Open spaces shall be contiguous to the extent practical in the opinion of the SPGA
Usable Open Space requirements can be met by providing open space in unique locations,
such as accessible roof decks or gardens.
Payment In Lieu Provision:
In TOD 85 and TOD 100 Ground coverage requirement of 80% may be exceeded if SPGA
allows payment in lieu of providing the required landscaping and usable open space.
For payments made in lieu of the landscaping and/or Usable Open Space required, the
developer must designate, in coordination with the City and the Planning Director, a site to
which those contributions shall be applied.
Payments made to the City of Somerville shall be dedicated to land acquisition, design,
construction, and maintenance of public open space in the catchment area defined in the
Rules and Regs. This may include repayment of any debt incurred by the City for capital costs
associated with land acquisition, design, and/or construction of public open space.

85. Proposed TOD
Development Standards (cont):
Transportation Analysis - Applicants shall provide a Transportation Study and a Transportation
Demand Management (TDM) Plan tailored to the proposed site and mix of Use Clusters
Upper Level Open Space - Area within Upper Level Setbacks may be used to provide private
or usable (public) open space, including residential balconies, and shall not be counted
toward Floor Area Ratio.
Wind and Shadow Effects - Buildings shall be designed to minimize shadow and wind impacts
to open space and residential areas especially between 10 am and 2 pm in the winter.
Pedestrian Connections - Continuous pedestrian connections shall be supported between all
major points of pedestrian activity on the Development Site.
Pedestrian Oriented Requirements - To promote pedestrian activity, buildings shall be designed
with separate front entrance doors to lobbies, cultural spaces, retail and business, and
other sources of pedestrian activity.

86. Proposed TOD
Development Standards (cont):
Parking Design - Parking shall not face the street edge(s) of the parcel and shall be suitably
screened both visually and acoustically from the street and abutters.
Service Areas and Loading Spaces - Ground level mechanical equipment, utility and trash
enclosures, loading docks and other utilitarian and service elements shall not abut the
street edge(s) of the parcel and shall be screened from public view.
Lighting - Lighting shall be appropriate to the historic and pedestrian-oriented character of
surrounding neighborhoods and buildings, and shall enhance safety and security while
minimizing glare and light trespass.
Properties Adjoining Railroad Rights-of-Way - Properties directly adjoining railroad rights-of-
way shall not be subject to additional City-imposed setbacks.

87. Proposed TOD
Design Guidelines (section 6.5.7.B):
Guidelines provide general standards for building massing, siting and
articulation. It is understood that buildings and structures may not be able to
comply with all of the design guidelines in the zoning ordinance.
Proposed Guidelines address the following:
- Streetwall completion
- Sidewalks depths on major streets
- Massing and height compatibility with abutting districts
- Human scale in architecture
- Commercial bay dimensions and materials
- Exterior materials
- Parking accessibility
- Open Space siting

Floor area used for structured parking shall be excluded for purposes of
calculating linkage
All at-grade and/or above-grade structured parking shall be included in the
calculation of Floor Area Ratio
All parking serving a new Building in TODs shall be located in structures
The minimum parking requirements may be reduced by the SPGA for a
Development upon submission by the Applicant of a TDM Plan
demonstrating that such reduction will not have adverse community
impacts
