Definitions

Corner lot- A building erected on a corner lot shall be required to have the two or more yards adjoining the streets equal in depth to the required front yards on such streets.

Ellen Battaglini made a motion to forward to Board of Selectmen. Howard Burchman seconded and it passed 3:0:0.

 


Lots in More Than One Zone-Where one or more zone boundary line divides a lot in one ownership of record, regulations for the less restricted portion or portions of such lot shall not extend into the more restricted portion or portions.

Ellen Battaglini made a motion to take no action. Anne Howard seconded and it passed 3:0:0.

 

3420 Outside Display (requested by ZBA) In all districts of town there shall be no mechanical display or exhibit, or display of any type of merchandise or wares, for the purpose of advertisement, sale, barter, or exchange, or as an inducement thereof, outside of, upon, or against any building or screened or open porch, or booth, or vehicle, or cart, or contiguous land, or premises unless a Special Permit for said display is first granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals, or specifically excepted as hereinafter provided. Effective April 1, 1990, all exterior displays or exhibits must have a Special Permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals.

 

A Special Permit for Outside Display may be issued for a period of three calendar years after filing an application with the Board of Zoning Appeals and a copy thereof with the Town Clerk. The Special Permit shall specify the number and generic type (e.g. clothing, children's toys, newspapers and magazines, lawn care machinery, etc.) of items to be displayed and the location thereof indicated on a drawing or plan; any change in content (i.e. different generic items) shall require a new Special Permit. 

 

The Special Permit may be granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals:

 

(a) only upon its written determination that the proposed display does not create any adverse effect due to hazard or congestion.

 

(b) only if the display is set back a distance of ten (10) feet from the front property line and/or any street line;

 

(c) only if a majority of abutters within a 300 foot radius have not submitted a petition objecting to the proposed display; and

 

(d) only if the proposed display has not been opposed by a petition signed by 150 voters. 

 

(e) only as an adjunct display to, and for representative merchandise or wares of, a retail sales, service or restaurant establishment.

 

The Special Permit may be renewed for succeeding three‑year periods, however violations may be considered as a basis for non‑renewal.

     Exceptions:

A. Bazaars or functions for charitable purposes by organizations existing in Town for a minimum of one year may be excepted for periods not exceeding one week in any one year by any one applicant provided that application is made to the Board of Selectmen and a license for said activity is granted.

 

B. The sale of food and/or beverages served at table with seating provided for patrons, provided that application is made to the Board of Selectmen and a license for said activity is granted.

 

C. The sale of art produced by working artists at the time and point of sale, including caricatures and portraits, provided that application is made to the Board of Selectmen and a license for said activity is granted.

 

D. This By‑Law shall not apply to artists working in public while not engaged in commercial activity. Further, this shall not be construed as to prohibit an artist from selling work in progress. And be it resolved that the Licensing Board will develop and institute a licensing policy for sidewalk artists consistent with the licensing of other vendors in Provincetown.

 

E. The displaying and selling of commodities (excluding food and beverage) by businesses and residents during the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) in May, except Memorial Day Weekend, of the "Monumental Yard Sale", which shall be under the sponsorship of a local businesspersons' organization; and an inventory sale during Columbus Day Weekend (Saturday, Sunday, and Monday) in October.  No displays or sales shall take place within or upon public land, sidewalks or roadways.  Displays and sales shall only appear upon property of the participants, whether jointly or independently.  Displays and sales shall not impede pedestrian traffic or cause concerns for the public's safety.

Howard Burchman made a motion to forward to BOS. Ellen Battaglini seconded and it passed 3:0:0.
