eastern side of New Street currently zoned as Industrial A-1.

district on the zoning map established by Section 3.20.

The building and land uses within the New Street Overlay District
shall be regulated by the provisions of the applicable base zoning
district except as modified by the requirements of this section
20.900, which shall apply in addition to regulations imposed by the
base zoning district designations. Where the base zoning regulations
differ from the requirements of this Section 20.900, the stricter
provisions shall apply, unless a Special Permit is issued by the
Planning Board pursuant to Article 20.900.

300 feet in depth, but do not have street frontage in excess of 150
feet.
In granting the Special Permit, the Planning Board shall find that the
additional GFA proposed can be reasonably accommodated on the

20.95.1
Floor Area Ratio of 3.0, the Planning Board shall give consideration to
the following:
Public benefits that will enhance and benefit the use of the
