[Massplanners] Open Space Zoning

[Leslie Snell]

I would also be interested in seeing if any towns have been successful with an open space bylaw.  On Nantucket, we attempted to propose one about a decade ago, but some of the private conservation groups were opposed, so it didn't advance.

Hi all

This isn't about what a first glance at the Subject Line might suggest. The Belmont Planning Board is considering development of a new zoning category for Open Space. This isn't OSRD but simply a special district typology for protected open space, and maybe some passive recreational uses.

If your community has such a district or if you know a city or town that has something like this, I'd love to hear about it and see the text of the zoning.

Thanks in advance.

Chris
