With Stantec, CommunityScale is working with the Town of North Attleboro to update their downtown zoning, add a mixed-use overlay to their primary commercial corridor, and bring the town into compliance with the MBTA Communities law.

“Jeff Sauser and Nels Nelson helped North Attleboro develop an innovative mixed-use overlay district with subdistricts that vary depending on the character, location, and strategic long-term planning for the Town. The mixed-use overlay bylaw is intended to move from a waning commercial market and adapt to future economic trends. They used impressive mapping tools and data to craft a bylaw with new lot dimensions and zoning rules for economic hubs and mixed-use style development.”
