A nonconforming structure or use may be changed to be conforming, but once changed to be conforming it shall not be made nonconforming again.

Construction or operations under a building or special permit shall conform to any subsequent amendment of this bylaw unless the use or construction is commenced within a period of 12 months after the issuance of the permit and, in cases involving construction, unless such construction is continued through to completion as continuously and expeditiously as is reasonable.

Purpose. The purpose of this subsection is to promote the construction of affordable housing in the Town of Norfolk. It allows the waiver of lot area, frontage or lot shape requirements in exchange for the construction of restricted affordable housing.

Applicability.

Requirements.

A nonconforming use shall not be extended except by special permit, and then only within the intensity regulations (Article 5) of this bylaw. Such extension or cumulative extensions shall increase base floor area or land occupancy by no more than 50%. The base floor area or land occupancy shall be that which existed on the date the use or land occupancy became nonconforming, as determined by any plan on file with any agency of the Town of Norfolk or, if no such plan is on file, then the first special permit application plan depicting the then-existing use or land occupancy shall be the base for computing the 50% maximum allowed increase.

The special permit can be granted only after a finding by the Zoning Board of Appeals that the extension is not more detrimental or objectionable to a neighborhood.

Exception. Nonconforming single family uses, including accessory structures, may be extended in accordance with the following requirements:

A nonconforming structure may be altered or enlarged as a matter of right where the structure, as altered or enlarged, does not violate the setback, coverage, or height requirements of § 310-5.1B to a greater extent than the original structure.

A nonconforming structure may not be altered or amended in a manner that violates a setback, coverage, or height requirement of § 310-5.1B as to which it is nonconforming to a greater extent than the original structure except as authorized by special permit issued by the Zoning Board of Appeals upon a finding that the alteration or enlargement will not be substantially more detrimental than the existing nonconforming structure to the neighborhood.

A nonconforming structure may be demolished and a new structure may be reconstructed in its place as a matter of right so long as the new structure does not violate the setback, coverage, or height requirements of § 310-5.1B to a greater extent than the original structure.

A nonconforming single- or two-family dwelling may be demolished and a new structure may be reconstructed in its place in a manner that increases the extent of a preexisting setback, coverage, and/or height violation only as authorized by special permit issued by the Zoning Board of Appeals upon a finding that the demolition and reconstruction will not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconforming structure. Any such reconstruction may exceed the size of the original structure by no more than 500 square feet.

Nothing shall prevent the strengthening or restoring, to a safe condition, of any building or structure or a part thereof declared unsafe by the Building Commissioner, provided the requirements of this bylaw are complied with.

If a nonconforming structure has been destroyed or damaged by fire, flood, earthquake, or other catastrophe, such building may be rebuilt or restored subject to the granting of a building permit, provided such rebuilding and restoring shall be completed within 12 months of the issuance of a building permit, and application for said permit shall be made within two years of the destruction or damage, and the structure as rebuilt or restored shall not be in greater nonconformity than before. The permit granting authority may extend the period if it finds that the application and/or construction was not commenced for a good cause.

In the Business 1 through Business 4 and Commercial 1 through Commercial 6 Districts, parking areas shall be located in the rear yard or side yard of structures and not in the front yard of such structures, unless otherwise authorized by special permit issued by the Planning Board.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection D(1) above, parking areas of a municipal building which is used as a library may be located in the front yard as a matter of right.

Parking spaces. Parking spaces for off-street parking shall be a minimum of nine feet by 19 feet or larger to accommodate expected vehicles, plus maneuvering and access lanes per single lane of travel.

The parking spaces, loading spaces, maneuvering and access lanes shall be surfaced with bituminous concrete or cement concrete material and shall be graded and drained so as to dispose of all surface water accumulation.

Parking spaces shall not require backing onto a public way.

A substantial bumper of a concrete curb or berm curb which is backed shall be placed at the edge of surfaced areas except driveways in order to protect abutting structures, properties, and sidewalks.

Landscaping.

Parking lots and appurtenances thereto shall be constructed in conformance with the specifications for same in the rules and regulations of the Norfolk Planning Board as most recently amended.

Each parking space shall be marked and maintained with a solid reflectorized white or yellow painted line on each side, at the head of, and along the full depth, in a manner specified in the Planning Board rules and regulations.

Any nonconforming off-street parking or loading area already containing less than the required number of spaces to serve their intended use shall not be further reduced in size or number of spaces.

Parking areas requirements in § 310-6.7G applicable to parking spaces serving outdoor recreation, conservation, and park land uses may be modified, by the Planning Board through a special permit; provided, however, that the parking spaces are constructed in accordance with the Planning Board rules and regulations with suitable gravel or crushed rock or other medium and the parking spaces are adequately denoted by means approved by the Planning Board. All access driveways from the limit of the public paved way to the parking lot and other vehicle circulation areas shall be paved. To have the requirements waived, application must be made to the Planning Board for a special permit and the Planning Board must find that the granting of the special permit will not have adverse effects which outweigh its benefits on either the neighborhood or the Town, in view of the particular characteristics of the site and of the proposal in relation to the site. The determination by the Planning Board shall indicate consideration of the criteria in granting a special permit under the current § 310-7.6C.

Purpose. The purpose of this subsection is to ensure that the installation of commercial electric vehicle charging stations is appropriate to the location and not detrimental to the character of the surrounding neighborhood.

Applicability.

Requirements.

In any district where otherwise permitted, no use of premises shall be authorized or extended, and no building or structure shall be erected or enlarged, unless there is provided for the extension, erection, or enlargement off-street loading facilities located entirely on the same lot as the building or use to be served, and with immediate and direct ingress to the building to be served in accordance with the following minimum specifications. An area of at least 400 square feet of appropriate dimensions, exclusive of drives and maneuvering space, shall be considered one off-street loading space.

In no case shall the required loading space be part of the area used to satisfy the parking requirements of this bylaw.

No signs or advertising devices of any kind or nature shall be erected on any premises or affixed to the outside of any structure or be visible from the outside of any structure within public view of any highway, public park, or reservation except as specifically permitted in the following Schedule of Sign Regulations and in accordance with the following notation:

Temporary signs are allowed as permitted by the bylaws of the Town of Norfolk.

No signs may be affixed to any fence or utility pole.

In particular instances, the Planning Board may issue special permits for larger or additional signs as noted, if it is determined that the architecture of the building, the location of the building with reference to the street or the nature of the establishment is such that the sign should be permitted in the public interest. In granting such permission, the Planning Board shall specify the size and location of the sign or signs and impose such other terms and restrictions as may be deemed to be in the public interest. Any applicant under this provision shall provide the following:

No sign with the exception of nameplate signs as provided above shall be erected unless a building permit has been issued.

The Building Commissioner/Zoning Enforcement Officer in conjunction with the Director of Planning and Land Use shall make a written determination as to which of the following applies:

Site plan approval not required.

Plan requirements: modification or full site plan approval. If modification or full site plan approval is required, said plan shall show, among other things, all existing and proposed buildings, structures, freestanding signs, parking spaces, driveway openings, driveways, service areas, open area uses and other improvements; all disposal facilities for sewage, refuse and other waste disposal and for surface water drainage and all storage facilities for equipment, material and other; all landscape features (such as fences, walls, planting areas, and walks); and all existing natural features, including ponds, brooks, and wetlands, on the lot. The site plan shall be prepared, signed and certified by a professional engineer (PE) or a registered land surveyor, as appropriate. The proposed use(s) and site development shall conform to the requirements set forth in this bylaw and other regulations as applicable. The plan shall conform to the administrative requirements set forth in the Planning Board rules and regulations, as most recently adopted.

Conditions of full site plan approval.

Any person desiring approval of a site plan under this section shall submit said plan with application for approval and appropriate fee in accordance with the Site Plan Approval Rules and Regulations, as most recently amended,[1] directly to the Planning Board. The Board shall, within 10 days after the receipt, transmit one copy of such plan to the following: Building Commissioner, Board of Health, Conservation Commission, Police Chief, Fire Chief, Director of Public Works.

Each agency shall, at its discretion, investigate the case and report, in writing, its recommendations to the Planning Board. When a site plan is submitted in conjunction with an application to the Zoning Board of Appeals for a special permit [§ 310-7.6C(2)], the Planning Board shall also request a review and report of findings from the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Planning Board shall include the findings from the Zoning Board of Appeals in its recommendations.

The Planning Board shall not take final action on such plan until it has received reports from said agencies or until said agencies have allowed 21 days to elapse after receipt of such plan without submission of a report thereon. No building permit shall be issued unless the site plan has been approved by the Planning Board. No certificate of occupancy shall be issued until all requirements of the approved site plan have been completed. A temporary occupancy permit may be issued by the Building Commissioner where the site plan work has not been completed if the Planning Board determines that a temporary occupancy permit is warranted, based upon the request of the owner of property that is the subject of the site plan approval.

In exercising its jurisdiction under this section, the Planning Board shall comply with all requirements and procedures applicable to those of a permit granting authority when deciding requests for special permits pursuant to MGL c. 40A, §§ 11 and 17, including, but not limited to, those relating to notice, public hearing and appeals, as most recently amended.

Review of the site plan referencing the Norfolk Town Center Design Review Guidelines, as most recently amended, for any property located in the B-1 District.

The Planning Board shall have the power to require that technical data and study results be provided by the applicant to support the site plan.

The Planning Board shall have power to modify a determination from Subsection A and modify or amend its approval of a site plan on application of the person owning or leasing the premises or upon its own motion in the event of changes in physical conditions sufficient to justify such action within the intent of this section. All of the provisions of this section applicable to approval shall, where apt, be applicable to such modification or amendment. Site plan approval may be revoked by the Board if, after a public hearing, it determines that a site has not been developed or maintained in accordance with the approved site plan.

Enhance the social and economic viability of the Town by preserving property values and promoting the attractiveness of the Town as a place to live, visit and shop;

Encourage the conservation of buildings and groups of buildings that have aesthetic or historic significance;

In the Commercial 6 Zoning District only those buildings with less than 100,000 square feet of usable interior square footage shall be subject to review by the Design Review Board.

Actions by Town government. Any construction, alteration, demolition or removal of a structure or site by the Town of Norfolk shall be subject to review by the Design Review Board. This includes all actions throughout the Town of Norfolk, except those that are considered to be routine maintenance or highway maintenance.

Applications for all actions subject to review by the Design Review Board shall be made by completing an application form and submitting it to the Planning Board. Application forms shall be available from the Planning Board.

All applications to the Design Review Board shall include all information required by the rules and regulations of the Design Review Board, as applicable, in addition to any other information that is required under this bylaw as part of an application for a special permit, site plan review, variance or building permit.

Upon receipt of an application for design review, the Planning Board shall immediately transmit the application to the Design Review Board. The Design Review Board shall review the application and return its recommendations, in writing, to the Planning Board within 30 days of the receipt of the application. If the application for design review is associated with application for site plan review, the Design Review Board shall return its recommendation, in writing, to the Planning Board before the conclusion of the public hearing(s) on the site plan review application.

General principles.

Design review standards. The Design Review Board shall consider, at a minimum, the following standards in the course of the design review of a proposed action:

Model.

Drawing of existing conditions. A drawing showing the location, type, size, or dimension of existing trees, stone walls, and other natural topography with designations as to which features will be retained. All existing trees, stone walls and other natural features shall be retained until a special permit is approved.

Drawing of proposal.

Photographs. Photographs showing the proposed building site and surrounding properties, and of the model (if required). Applications for alterations and additions shall depict the existing structure to be altered and its relationship to adjacent property.

Impact statement. Statement by the applicant with explanation of how each of the design standards is incorporated into the design of the proposed development. If a particular standard is not applicable, a statement to that effect will suffice.

Plan revisions. Any plans revised after a formal application has been made to the Design Review Board which in any way affect or alter the visual appearance of the facade, roof, or other aspects of the site specified in design review shall be submitted to the Design Review Board for further review in accordance with this bylaw.

Site plan review. The Planning Board shall incorporate the recommendations of the Design Review Board in its conditions for approval under § 310-6.11C; and

Special permits. The recommendations of the Design Review Board shall be incorporated by the Zoning Board of Appeals in its conditions pursuant to § 310-7.6D.

To the extent feasible, all service providers shall co-locate.

The height of the antenna of the wireless communications facility shall not exceed a height of 110 feet as measured from the vertical distance from the grade to its highest point; however, if the antennas are placed on or within an existing transmission tower, the height of the antennas shall not exceed a height greater than the highest point of the existing tower used for high-voltage electric transmission lines.

The wireless communications facility shall not be located nearer any property line a distance less than or equal to the height of the structure and in no case less than 150 feet.

Wireless communications facilities, by special permit from the Planning Board, may be considered an accessory use to a main use in Wireless Communications Overlay Districts 1, 2, and 3.

All monopoles shall be located in no case less than 150 feet from the nearest property line except by special permit. The minimum lot size shall be two acres except by special permit.

To the extent feasible, all network interconnections from the communications site shall be via underground lines.

Land clearing shall be performed in a manner which will maximize preservation of natural vegetation and conservation of natural resources.

Each facility shall minimize (including sharing the equipment building), to the extent feasible, adverse visual effects on the environment. The Planning Board may impose reasonable conditions to ensure this result, including painting and lighting requirements.

If personal wireless communications facilities are not camouflaged from public viewing areas by existing buildings or structures, they shall be surrounded by buffers of dense tree growth and understory vegetation in all directions to create an effective year-round visual buffer. Ground-mounted personal wireless communications facilities shall provide a vegetated buffer of sufficient height and depth to effectively screen the facility. Trees and vegetation may be existing on the subject property or installed as part of the proposed facility or a combination of both. The Planning Board shall determine the types of trees and plant materials and depth of the needed buffer based on site conditions.

Any extension, addition of cells, or construction of new or replacement facilities or transmitters requires a special permit following the same procedure as for an original grant of a special permit.

Fencing shall be provided to control access to the facility. This fencing shall not be barbed wire or razor wire.

The applicant shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Planning Board that the location is suitable and that the size and height is the minimum necessary for the purpose.

There shall be no signs, except "no trespassing" signs and a required sign giving a phone number where the wireless communications facility owner can be reached on a twenty-four-hour basis. All signs shall conform with the sign requirements of the Norfolk Zoning Bylaw and shall be subject to review by the Design Review Board.

Night-lighting shall be limited to that needed for emergencies and/or as required by the Federal Aviation Administration.

An RMD shall not be located within a radius of 500 feet from a school, day-care center, preschool or after-school facility or any facility in which minors commonly congregate, or from a house of worship or religious use, but may be located within a lesser distance if the Zoning Board of Appeals finds that the RMD is sufficiently buffered such that these facilities or uses will not be adversely impacted by the RMD's operation. Such distance shall be measured in a straight line from the nearest property line of the proposed RMD to the nearest property line of the facility.

An RMD shall be properly registered with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health pursuant to 105 CMR 725.000 and shall comply with all applicable state and local public health regulations, public safety code regulations and all other applicable state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations.

All signage shall conform to the requirements of 105 CMR 725.000 and to the requirements of § 310-6.9 of the Town of Norfolk Zoning Bylaw. No graphics, symbols or images of marijuana or related paraphernalia shall be displayed or clearly visible from the exterior of an RMD.

An RMD's hours of operation shall not adversely impact nearby uses. The Zoning Board of Appeals may, as a special permit condition, limit the hours of operation of an RMD to mitigate any adverse impact on nearby uses.

The site is designed such that it provides convenient, safe and secure access and egress for clients and employees arriving to and leaving from the site, whether driving, bicycling, walking or using public transportation.

Traffic generated by client trips, employee trips, and deliveries to and from the RMD shall not create a significant adverse impact on nearby uses.

Loading, refuse and service areas are designed to be secure and shielded from abutting uses.

The building and site have been designed to be compatible with other buildings in the area and to mitigate any negative aesthetic impacts that might result from required security measures and restrictions on visibility into the building's interior.

The building and site are accessible to persons with disabilities.

The site is accessible to regional roadways and/or public transportation.

The site is located where it may be readily monitored by law enforcement and other code enforcement personnel.
