FW: [PSNA] Sign Ordinance Changes

fyi -----Original Message----- From: psna-bounces(a)lists.portersquare.net [mailto:psna-bounces@lists.portersquare.net] On Behalf Of John Howard Sent: Monday, July 05, 2010 7:34 AM To: psna(a)portersquare.net Subject: [PSNA] Sign Ordinance Changes The City of Cambridge is considering several changes to the part of the Zoning Ordinance that deals with signs. This week there will be a public hearing at the Planning Board at 7PM on Tuesday night, and in the Ordinance Committee at 4PM Thursday. I have been told that these changes are intended to clarify issues that have come up over the years. Some seem non-controversial, but two of the proposed changes concern me. 1. A new section, "Building Identification Signs", allows buildings to have signs anywhere below the roof line, identifying either the building itself or a tenant or activity. Tall buildings could get relatively large signs. This could have significant impacts in Kendall Square and along the Charles, but could affect Porter Square as well. 2. A new subsection "General Waiver of Sign Limitations" allows the Planning Board to issue special permits waiving sign limitations (including on the building identification signs). Without this new section, variations would be possible but would require a zoning appeal. This change significantly weakens the public's input and ability to challenge sign proposals. If this concerns you too, please consider writing a letter to the council or attending one of the hearings. The Globe has a news article about this at: http://www.boston.com/yourtown/cambridge/articles/2010/07/02/signs_of_change _in_cambridge/ A PDF of the proposed changes is online at http://www.cambridgema.gov/cdd/cp/zng/amend/index.html The planning board agenda is at http://www.cambridgema.gov/cdd/cp/zng/agenda/2010/ pb_070610_agenda.html and the Ordinance Committee announcement at http://www.cambridgema.gov/calendar.cfm?month=7&calType=City&typeID=&view=da ily&day=2010-07-08 _______________________________________________ PSNA mailing list PSNA(a)lists.portersquare.net http://lists.portersquare.net/listinfo.cgi/psna-portersquare.net

fyi From: psna-bounces(a)lists.portersquare.net [mailto:psna-bounces@lists.portersquare.net] On Behalf Of Karen Klinger Sent: Friday, July 02, 2010 6:14 PM To: psna(a)portersquare.net Subject: [PSNA] Historical Commission Clears the Way for Porter Square Church Condos | Cambridge Community Television Folks, I just posted a story to the CCTV website about the city historical commission's actions last night with respect to the proposed St. James's condo development. This looks like the last chapter with perhaps a postscript somewhere down the line. Karen http://www.cctvcambridge.org/node/50285
