Industry B Zoning Petition Introduction Industry B is a small zoning area near Kendall Square consisting primarily of commercial buildings for laboratory and general office use. This proposed zoning change would allow hotel use, classified as a residential use in the Cambridge Zoning Ordinance, to increase the allowed floor area ratio to the same 4.0 that currently applies to most other residential uses in the Industry B zone. The purpose of this change is to incentivize hotel development on the few undeveloped smaller parcels in the zone. Statement of Facts WHEREAS Cambridge has a shortage of hotel rooms, and WHEREAS the growing number of short-term rental uses has eaten away at the housing stock in neighboring residential areas due to high demand, especially so in the areas near Central and Kendall Square; and WHEREAS small independent hotels address the growing demand while also maintaining the character and zoning principles outlined in the Cambridge Ordinance; and WHEREAS the current zoning restriction of 2.75 FAR makes such development cost prohibitive on small lots. NOW THEREFORE we the Undersigned respectfully petition the honorable City Council of Cambridge to amend the Cambridge Zoning Ordinance by amending Article 5.30.11 ("District Dimensional Regulations") to read as follows: 5.30.11 FAR and Height. Where two numbers appear in Column (1) - Maximum Ratio of Floor Area to Lot Area and Column (6) Maximum Height in Feet, the first number shall apply to all permitted uses in the district except Residential Uses, Section 4.31 a-i, and Dormitory (but excluding resident fraternity or sorority) Uses, Section 4.33 b(7), both of which shall be governed by the second number. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in Industry B District, a hotel use (Section 4.31.2), shall be governed by the second number (4.0) for purposes of determining the Maximum Ratio of Floor Area to Lot Area (FAR).
