COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR SITE PLAN REVIEW BYLAW EASTHAMPTON
Section XVII SITE PLAN REVIEW
(a) Purpose
This section of the town by -law is enacted under the authority of Chapter 40A
of the Massachusetts General Laws to protect the health, safety, convenience
and general welfare of the inhabitants of the town. The site plan review
by -law regulates the development of structures and sites in a manner which
considers the following concerns and, where necessary, requires modification
of development proposals to eliminate or minimize potential problems and
nuisances. In considering a site plan the reviewing authority shall assure:
(1) Protection of adjacent areas against detrimental or offensive uses on
the site by provision of adequate surface water drainage, buffers
against Light, sight, sound, dust and vibration, and preservation of
light and air;
(2) Adequacy of methods of disposal for wastes;
(3) Protection of environment features, especially ground water resources on
the site and in adjacent areas;
(4) Promotion of safe vehicular and pedestrian movement within the site and
in relation to the adjacent areas, the enhancement of highway traffic
safety and the protection of capability of state and local roads to
conduct traffic smoothly: and
(5)
Discouragement of unlimited commercial "strip development" and curb cuts
along highways and the encouragement of commercial growth in nodes and
clusters.
(b) Projects Requiring Site Plan Review
No special permit or building permit shall be issued and no application for
such permits shall be accepted for any of the following uses unless a site
plan has been approved and endorsed in accordance with this section:
(1) new construction of commercial, industrial, utility, office,
institutional, municipal, or non exempted residential structures;
(2) expansion of any existing commercial, industrial, utility. office.
institutional, municipal, or non exempted residential uses resulting in
a floorspace increase of twenty -five percent (25 or five thousand
(5,000) square feet, whichever is less;
any change in commercial, industrial, utility. office, institutional,
municipal, or non exempted residential use in any structure;
(3)
(4) resumption of any use described above discontinued for more than two (2)
years.

(4) The architectural design, layout and landscaping of the proposed
development is in harmony with the character of the neighborhood and
the City of Northampton.
(5) The proposed development is served with adequate water supply and
waste disposal systems and will not place excessive demands on City
services and infrastructure.
(6) The site plan shows adequate measures to prevent pollution of surface
or groundwater, to minimize erosion and sedimentation, and to prevent
changes in groundwater levels, increased run -off and potential for
flooding.
7. Commercial Development and Performance Standards
In order to receive site plan approval, all projects or uses must demonstrate
compliance with the commercial development standards herein.
a. Access Standards
(1) The number of curb cuts on state and local roads shall be minimized.
To the extent feasible, access to businesses shall be provided via one
of the following:
aa. Access via a common driveway serving adjacent lots or premises.
bb. Access via an existing side street.
cc. Access via cul -de -sac or loop road shared by adjacent lots or
premises.
(2) One driveway per business shall be permitted as a matter of right.
Where deemed necessary by the Special Permit Granting Authority, two
driveways may be permitted as part of the Site Plan Approval process
which shall be clearly marked "entrance" and "exit."
(3)
Curb cuts shall be limited to the minimum width for safe entering and
exiting, and shall in no case exceed 24 feet in width.
(4) All driveways shall be designed to afford motorists exiting to
highways with safe sight distance.
(5)
The proposed development shall assure safe interior circulation within
its site by separating pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular traffic.
(6) Driveway design and placement must be in harmony with internal
circulation and parking design such that the entrance can absorb the
maximum rate of inbound traffic during a normal weekday peek traffic
period.
Driveway entrance must be able to accommodate all vehicle types having
occasion to enter the site, including delivery vehicles.
(8) Driveway placement should be such that loading and unloading
activities will in no way hinder vehicle ingress or egress.
(9)
b. Parking Standards
Proposed projects or uses must comply with Parking and Off street Loading
requirements in Section VIII and the following standards:
(1) Parking areas shall be located to the side or rear of the structure.
No parking shall be permitted within the required front yard of a
structure.
(2) To the extent feasible, parking areas shall be shared with adjacent
businesses.
c. Pedestrian Safety Improvement

business /commercial /industrial developments and applicants are encouraged
to link pedestrian systems between proposed new large 'developments and
existing developments.
d. Landscaping
(1) A landscaped buffer strip at least fifteen (15) feet wide, continuous
except for approved driveways, shall be established adjacent to any
public road to visually separate parking and other uses from the
road. The buffer strip shall be planted with grass, medium height
shrubs, and shade trees (minimum 2 -inch caliper, planted at least
every 50 feet along the road frontage). At all street or driveway
intersections, trees or shrubs shall be set back a sufficient distance
from such intersections so that they do not present a traffic
visibility hazard. The sidewalk required above shall be incorporated
into the buffer strip.
(2) Large parking areas shall be subdivided with landscaped islands so
that no paved parking surface shall extend more than 80 feet in
width. At least one tree (minimum 2" caliper) per 35 parking spaces
shall be provided.
(3)
6
Driveway design must be such that an entering vehicle will not
encroach upon the exit lane of a two way driveway. Also, a right
turning exiting vehicle will be able to utilize only the first through
traffic lane available without encroachment into the adjacent through
lane.
Exposed storage areas, machinery, service areas, truck loading areas,
utility buildings and structures and other unsightly uses shall be
screened from view from neighboring properties and streets using
dense, hardy evergreen plantings, or earthen beams, or wall or right
fence complemented by evergreen plantings.
e. Appearance /Architectural Design
(1) Architectural design shall be compatible with the character and scale
of buildings in the neighborhood and the City through the use of
appropriate building materials, screening, breaks in roof and wall
lines and other architectural techniques. Variation in detail, from
and siting shall be used to provide visual interest and avoid
(3)
(5)
monotony. Proposed buildings shall relate harmoniously to each other
with adequate light, air, circulations, and separation between

consideration whether exterior building facades and materials are
consistent with neighborhood's character. Large work area doors or
open bays shall not open toward or face roadways.
(2) The Special Permit Granting Authority may adopt such regulations as
may be necessary to further specify design standards.
f. Storm Water Run -off
(1) The rate of surface water run -off from a site, shall not be increased
after construction. If needed to meet this requirement and to
maximize groundwater recharge, increased runoff from impervious
surfaces shall be recharged on site by being diverted to vegetated
surfaces for infiltration or through the use of detention ponds. Dry
wells shall be used only where other methods are infeasible and shall
require oil, grease, and sediment traps to facilitate removal of
contaminants.
(2) Neighboring properties shall not be adversely affected by flooding
from excessive run -off.
g. Erosion Control
Erosion of soil and sedimentation of streams and waterbodies shall be
minimized by using the following erosion control practices:
(1) Exposed or disturbed areas due to stripping of vegetation, soil
removal, and regrading shall be permanently stabilized within six
months of occupancy of a structure.
(2) During construction, temporary vegetation and /or mulching shall be
used to protect exposed areas from erosion. Until a disturbed area is
permanently stabilized, sediment in run -off water shall be trapped by
using staked haybales or sedimentation traps.
h. Water Quality
Permanent erosion control and vegetative measures shall be
inaccordance with the erosion /sedimentation /vegetative practices
recommended by the Soil Conservation Service.
(4) All slopes exceeded 15% resulting from site grading shall be either
covered with 4 inches of topsoil and planted with a vegetative cover
sufficient to prevent erosion or be stabilized by a retaining wall.
Dust control shall be used during grading operations if the grading is
to occur within 200 feet on an occupied residence or place of
business. Dust control methods may consist of grading fine soils on
calm days only or dampening the ground with water.
All outdoor storage facilities for fuel, hazardous materials or wastes, and
potentially harmful raw materials shall be located within an impervious,

Streetscape Plan: Streetscape Improvements
The objectives of the streetscape plan are
to support the identity of downtown; to
encourage visual continuity for the area; to
encourage expanded pedestrian use; and to
improve pedestrian safety. These are
similar to the overall objectives of the de-
sign guidelines but focus on improvements
to the public rizht -of -way.
The street network acts as the primary
circulation path for a variety of users:
motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians. Our
view of the city and countryside is most
often from vantage points along these cor-
ridors. Our image of the world and the se-
quence with which we move through space
is determined by the pattern and character
of the street system.
The Urban Design Plan proposes improve-
ments to the downtown streetscape which
will help the traveler arrive more easily at
a particular destination, providing a
continuous and distinctive image for
downtown and its sub areas. The
emphasis is on pedestrian movement in
the downtown.
77
STREET HIERARCHY
The concept of the street hierarchy system
is based on an understanding of the differ-
ent functions that each street has with re-
gard to its image or purpose in the down-
town. Canyon Boulevard and Broadway, as
examples, are major vehicular routes
through the downtown. As this is their
primary function, any planned public im-
provements along either street should
have, as the main objective, the smooth
passage of large volumes of traffic.
Pedestrian improvements along.. either
street would then seek to buffer the
pedestrian from the negative impacts of the
traffic volume and to reduce pedestrian ve-
hicular conflicts with a slight bias towards
the automobile.
For planning and design purposes, varying
degrees of priority should be given to
pedestrian use depending on street func-
tions. Four types of streets have been de-
fined.
'A' Streets (exclusive pedestrian streets):
The Pearl Street pedestrian mall is
designated as an 'A' street in recognition of
its role as exclusively for pedestrian use. It
is to remain the most intensely used
pedestrian zone. Its characteristics are:
Vehicles prohibited (service or emer-
gency vehicles excepted).
Permanent change of use to public
rights -of -way.
Streetscape Plan: Streetscape Improvements
Pedestrian paving design throughout.
Intense landscape treatment, including
seasonally- varied plantings.
Coordinated street furniture.
Food concessions, street vendors
permitted.
'B' Streets (pedestrian- oriented vehicular
streets): 'B' streets are identified as major
pedestrian corridors. The objective along
these streets is to incorporate paving ma-
terials, landscaping, street furniture, and
roadway improvements which enhance
pedestrian movement and emphasize
pedestrian scale. Land use regulations and
architectural guidelines regarding first floor
uses, bulk, scale and architectural details
which affect pedestrian interest and
movement will be enforced along these
streets. Its characteristics are:
Removal of pedestrian obstructions by
consolidating elements such as news-
paper vending boxes.
Widening of sidewalks at intersections.
Consolidation of signs.
Special treatment of sidewalks and
pedestrian crosswalks (e.g. brick
sidewalks and crosswalks).
Tree planting.
Coordinated street furniture.
78
Pedestrian scale street lighting.
Adjacent land uses, such as restau-
rants, may be permitted to expand into
the public right -of -way.
'C' Streets (pedestrian /vehicular streets):
Secondary pedestrian corridors are those
streets where there is expected to be less
pedestrian traffic and which serve an im-
portant role as inter -area vehicular circu-
lation routes (e.g. mall traffic loop). The
objective along these streets is to improve
mobility and render existing pedestrian
space more pleasant and efficient with
minimal capital cost. Its characteristics
are:
Special treatment of pedestrian cross-
ings such as brick crosswalks.
Special treatment at building entries
such as bricked entry alcoves.
Tree planting.
Street lighting.
'D' Streets (Vehicular priority streets):
The primary objective along these streets
is 'safe efficient movement of large volumes
of vehicular traffic. Design features along
these streets will seek to buffer the
pedestrian from the negative impacts of the
traffic volume. This includes greater build-
ing setbacks, detached sidewalks with
planting strips between the sidewalk and
curb, and extensive landscaping. Its char-
acteristics are:
Removal of vehicular obstructions.
Streetscape Plan: Streetscape Improvements
Consolidation of traffic signs.
Landscaping /tree planting where
significant setbacks are required.
Pedestrian improvements along either 'D'
street, Canyon Boulevard or Broadway,
would then seek to buffer the pedestrian
from the negative impacts of the traffic
volume and to reduce pedestrian vehicular
conflicts with a slight bias towards the
automobile.
Many improvements to the public right -of-
way have already been carried out by pri-
vate property owners. These improve-
ments consist primarily of using brick �r
other sidewalk paving materials and street
trees. In these instances, the existing
improvements should be retained and
missing elements such as lighting and
street furniture should be added.

1. Purpose The purpose of the Highway Corridor (Overlay) District is to provide
additional traffic performance standards, in the Site Plan Approval process, in
areas where a large volume of traffic already exists.
2. Scope of Authority The Highway Corridor (Overlay) District is an overlay
district and shall be superimposed on the other districts over which it lays.
All uses, dimensional, and density requirements and other provisions of the
Northampton Zoning Ordinance applicable to the underlying district(s) shall
remain in force and effect, except that, where the Highway Corridor (Overlay)
District imposes greater or additional standards, such standards shall prevail.
The rules for this superimposed district shall be in addition to, rather than in

A traffic impact statement shall be prepared, which shall contain:
(1) Traffic flow patterns at the site including entrances and egresses,
loading and unloading areas, and curb cuts on site and within one hundred
feet of the site.
(2) An estimate of the motor vehicle trips generated by the proposed
development entering and exiting the site for daily and peak hour periods.
(3)
(4) Specific mitigating measures which will alleviate impacts to the adjacent
roadway network.
A detailed assessment of the traffic safety impacts of the proposed
project or use on the carrying capacity of any adjacent highway or road,
including the projected number of motor vehicle trips to enter or depart
from the site estimated for daily hour and peak hour traffic levels, road
capacities, and impacts on intersections.
(5)
A detailed assessment of project related traffic impacts on the safety
and capacity of any adjacent highway and /or road via a comparison of
no -build conditions to build conditions.
(6) A place to minimize traffic and safety impacts through such means as
physical design and layout concepts, staggered employee work
schedules, promoting use of public transit or carpooling, or other
appropriate means.
(7)
An interior traffic and pedestrian circulation plan designed to
minimize conflicts and safety problems.
(8) Adequate pedestrian and bicycle access shall be provided as follows:
aa. Sidewalk shall be provided to provide access to adjacent
properties and between individual businesses with a development.
b. Trip Reduction Plan
(1) In each case where a new building(s) or new use of more than 10,000
square feet is developed the applicant shall prepare and submit a
"Trip Reduction Plan" which clearly identifies a combination of
transportation systems management strategies which are designed to
reduce anticipated vehicle trips by 35 These strategies should
include, but are not limited to:
aa. Creating vanpool /carpool incentive programs, such as employer
subsidies for vanpools /carpools, preferred vanpool /carpool
parking, ride matching services, and providing parking at the
vanpool /carpool pick -up site.
bb. Allowing and encouraging flexible work hours and flexible work
weeks.
cc. Encouraging pedestrian and bicycle commute modes by providing
on -site bicycle parking storage, locker room facilities, bike and
walking paths, and similar features.

use, such as convenient, weather protected transit shelters.
ee. Encouraging employee and customer use of transit services,
including providing transit subsidies for improved transit service
and accessibility.
ff. Providing of on -site services, retail opportunities, and housing
if allowed in the zone.
gg.

coordinator to oversee implementing all strategies identified in
the "Trip Reduction Plan
2. For developments which make a long -term commitment to actively promote
employee and public use of transit, ridesharing, and other means to
reduce single occupant vehicle (SOV) trips, minimum parking standards
may be reduced by a percentage to be determined by the Special Permit
Granting Authority based on the adequacy of trip reduction plans
submitted.
c. Pedestrian Safety Improvement
Sidewalks along Route 9, Route 10, King Street and Damon Road are required for
a new developments or existing uses undergoing major remodeling.
