Cape End Manor Care Campus land exchange
Proposed Land Exchange. Town Meeting will be asked to give initial approvals to the proposed land exchange between Town of Provincetown and the Roman Catholic Bishop of Fall River that will enable the Cape End Manor nursing home to be expanded as part of a health care campus. The Provincetown Board of Selectmen has voted to execute a land exchange and development agreement between the Town of Provincetown and the Roman Catholic Bishop of Fall River. The Town of Provincetown proposes to acquire from the Bishop a 1.1-acre portion of the rear of the St. Peter's Cemetery (see locus map), abutting the Town-owned nursing home at 100 Alden Street. This property houses a storage shed and was not planned for burial purposes. In exchange, the Town of Provincetown proposes to transfer to the Bishop of Fall River the fee ownership in a land area large enough to accommodate forty (40) parking spaces-but not more than 1.1 acres-- of a portion of the Town-owned Grace Hall Parking Lot, which abuts the St. Peter's Church parking lot at 11 Prince Street.
Health Care Overlay District Zoning Amendment. The Planning Board conducted a public hearing on September 8, 2004 on the proposed zoning amendment submitted by the Town Manager, Board of Selectmen, and Cape End Manor Board of Directors, which proposes the following measures which advance the Town of Provincetown's proposal for a Cape End Manor Care Campus: (1) rename the "Highway Corridor Overlay District" as the "Health Care Overlay District" (HCOD); (2) rezone the 2.2-acre Cape End Manor Care Campus site and the surrounding area as part of the HCOD; (3) expand the permitted health care uses in the HCOD to include for-profits, as well as non-profits; and (4) increase the allowed height limit to forty-eight feet.
