<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Littleton has adopted 2 FBC districts, the Village Common mixed-use FBC district (June 2020), and the King Street Common mixed-use
FBC district (October 2021). We didn’t completely let go of the uses that are allowed in the FBC districts, but it’s much more about the look, feel, design, and streetscape/public realm than the prior zoning. FBC can be a zoning best practice in certain cased,
but a community must have the staffing/training to properly implement; it can offer a “clear path” for developers. Communities are saying “if you design to this particular standard, you will get the approvals needed to build/redevelop”.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Littleton hopes to use the King Street Common FBC district to help meet the MBTA Communities multifamily zoning requirements
(with a few tweaks).<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Other communities with FBC include Ayer, MA (and Bozeman MT if you need a field trip – just kidding!) Hopefully others will chime
in, I’m not up to date on other communities that have adopted/are working on FBC.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">George Proakis, the new Town Manager in Watertown holds a wealth of FBC knowledge. Consultants Tim Love and Jessy Yang at Utile
