Corridor overview

Elevation drawing with site-by-site test fits: These visualizations helped residents understand how height limits would translate to actual development given the topography of the corridor
CommunityScale and Bridle Design (landscape and urban design) partnered with the Town of Natick to reimagine the West Central Corridor, a key stretch of Route 135 extending from the Framingham line to Mill Street. This initiative represents a strategic approach to zoning reform that balances growth opportunities with community character, creating a framework for sustainable mixed-use development along this important gateway corridor.

Understanding the Challenge
The West Central Corridor presented unique opportunities and complexities. This historic commercial strip started as lake houses and camp roads. Over time, it evolved into a mix of different uses including two-family homes, medical offices, junkyards, and affordable commercial spaces built in the 1960s and 70s. The challenge was to create a clear zoning framework that would encourage redevelopment while respecting the existing landscape and keeping housing affordable.

The corridor’s steep slopes and elevation changes along Route 135 required careful study. We needed to ensure that new development standards would create smooth transitions between properties and respect the residential neighborhoods to the north.

Strategic Analysis and Test Fits
CommunityScale began by analyzing the proposed rezoning and developing detailed test fit scenarios for buildout along the corridor. Our team created models that accounted for the complex relationship between Route 135’s elevation profile, individual parcel topography, and existing building heights.

These test fits went beyond simple massing studies. We calculated development potential for each parcel, generating figures for gross square footage, residential unit counts, and open space percentages. This detailed analysis allowed us to explore important tradeoffs in the proposed zoning, particularly around the balance between required affordable housing (set at 10% minimum) and open space provisions that could serve as offsets.

Visualizing the Future
The centerpiece of our work was creating detailed drawings that showed the corridor’s transformation potential. Rather than abstract zoning maps, we developed section drawings that clearly communicated building types, character, and heights within the existing context. These visualizations helped residents understand how height limits would translate to actual development given the topography of the corridor.

Our drawings maintained a diagrammatic quality with softened edges, allowing for flexibility in implementation. We avoided prescriptive details about specific uses or architectural styles. Instead, we focused on form, scale, and relationships between buildings and open spaces. This approach encouraged community dialogue about possibilities rather than limiting future creativity.

Throughout the fall of 2025, CommunityScale worked closely with Town Staff to support for the adoption process. Our team managed the compressed timeline leading to October Town Meeting. We ensured materials met the warrant deadline while incorporating feedback from the Planning Board’s September hearings.

Creating Lasting Impact

Read the press release and download the final plan.


The plan focuses high density housing around the rail system on the southern side of the island with neighborhood-scale infill housing around the island’s other communities.
As part of its commitment to tackling Honolulu’s housing challenges, the City is taking a proactive approach to addressing the housing shortage by:

Partnering with developers to activate underutilized public lands
Exploring innovative financing strategies to unlock new resources
Centralizing housing functions to streamline development, finance, and policy efforts—enabling faster project delivery and improved coordination of housing initiatives
Key initiatives of the Strategic Housing Plan include:

Expanding Transit-Oriented Development (TOD): The Skyline rail system presents an unprecedented opportunity to create high-density, mixed-use communities along its nearly 20-mile route. Concentrating growth in the Primary Urban Center, TOD corridors helps preserve rural areas while integrating housing, offices, retail, education, and government services. This approach reduces commute times, lowers transportation costs, and supports Honolulu’s sustainability goals.
Activating the Kūwili Station TOD Redevelopment Area: The Kūwili Station area presents a transformative opportunity for an underserved community. The City and State’s land holdings in this area will help improve connectivity, address environmental concerns, and mitigate flood risks. The Strategic Housing Plan builds off of the Downtown Neighborhood TOD Plan, which was created after almost a decade of extensive community engagement and input. The plan envisions thousands of housing units within a vibrant mixed-use district, backed by $2.7 million in federal and state grants for infrastructure and master planning.
Accelerating Housing Development: The City is leveraging underutilized public lands and streamlining procurement processes to expedite partnerships with local developers. An example of this success is Parkway Village at Kapolei—a mixed-use development on City-owned land featuring 401 housing units and two on-site preschools—completed in just over a year through effective public-private collaboration.
Enhancing Housing Finance Strategies: Existing funding sources for affordable housing, including General Obligation Bonds, Private Activity Bonds, and the Affordable Housing Fund (Ordinance 7-19), are limited. The City is committed to exploring new financing strategies that will expand resources and create additional opportunities for housing development.
Reorganizing Housing Functions: For nearly three decades, the City has lacked a centralized housing department. As announced in Mayor Blangiardi’s 2024 State of the City address, the City plans to consolidate its housing programs under the proposed Department of Housing and Land Management (DHLM). This restructuring will improve efficiency, accelerate project delivery, and enhance coordination of housing initiatives.","Comprehensive Housing Plan, Honolulu, HI: A needs assessment, spatial analysis, and policy study focused on unlocking attainable housing production in the country’s most expensive and constrained housing market.","=ai(""Write a 25–35 word project blurb that: Opens with the project name and location in Title Case, followed by a colon.

July 16, 2025
In early 2025, the Downtown Committee of Syracuse engaged CommunityScale to lead a comprehensive Housing Needs Assessment and Market Study to guide future housing development strategies for Downtown Syracuse. This project responds to the area’s increasing momentum: a resurgent downtown, a growing population, and transformative projects such as Micron’s regional investment and the impending I-81 viaduct removal.


CommunityScale worked closely with Downtown Syracuse staff to deliver a data-driven, context-sensitive analysis of current conditions, market dynamics, and projected needs over a 5-10 year horizon. The process included robust stakeholder input with local employers, developers, residents, nonprofit leaders, and policymakers to ground recommendations in both community insight and market realities.

The study highlighted Downtown Syracuse’s evolving role as the region’s residential core. Key findings included:

Strong residential market demand, with an estimated market potential for approximately 176 new units per year supported by projected population growth and Downtown’s appeal to younger householders and newcomers.
A predominance of demand for smaller rental units, especially studios and one-bedrooms priced between $1,500 and $2,000 per month.
A growing demographic profile, driven primarily by householders aged 25-44, with half of new residents moving from outside Onondaga County.
Favorable policy conditions, including ReZone Syracuse’s flexible MX-5 zoning which supports dense residential development with minimal regulatory barriers.
The study provided a clear-eyed market benchmark by comparing Downtown Syracuse to peer neighborhoods in Syracuse and other upstate cities such as Rochester and Buffalo. It also examined how transformative regional initiatives like the Micron facility and the I-81 Community Grid will unlock new development opportunities and drive housing demand.

CommunityScale developed a custom, interactive online dashboard that visualizes key metrics and makes the findings accessible to a broader audience. These tools equip the Downtown Committee, developers, and other stakeholders with actionable insights for near-term and long-term planning, investment decisions, and policy alignment.

Ultimately, the Downtown Syracuse Housing Needs Assessment and Market Study charts a path forward for continued residential growth in Downtown, ensuring that future development responds to emerging market trends while strengthening Downtown as a vibrant, livable, and inclusive urban neighborhood.

December 10, 2025
CommunityScale partnered with the City of Pueblo, Colorado to develop a comprehensive 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan, Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, and First Year Annual Action Plan to guide the city’s use of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships funding. Through extensive community engagement, data-driven analysis, and strategic planning, the project identified pressing housing affordability challenges and established actionable recommendations to ensure all residents have access to safe, affordable housing regardless of race, disability status, or income level.

A Growing Affordability Crisis
Pueblo, like communities across the United States, has experienced mounting pressure on housing affordability since 2020. Rental apartment units in the Pueblo market saw a 30% increase in average monthly rent from mid-2020 to late 2022, rising from approximately $900 to $1,150 per month. Single-family home prices increased nearly 150% over the past decade, with the average sales price reaching $325,000 by 2024. Meanwhile, new market-rate housing supply stagnated, creating an affordability squeeze that disproportionately impacts lower-income households and members of protected classes.

The City of Pueblo, as a recipient of annual HUD funding through CDBG and HOME programs, is required to prepare a five-year Consolidated Plan and Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice every five years. With the previous plan dating to 2021 (developed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic), the City recognized an urgent need to reassess housing conditions, identify current barriers to fair housing access, and develop strategies responsive to today’s market realities.


Pueblo’s Fuel & Iron Food Hall used HOME Funds for Affordable Units and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funding
A Community-Driven Planning Process
CommunityScale’s approach centered on robust community input combined with rigorous data analysis. Our team conducted the planning process from February through May 2025, working closely with the City of Pueblo Housing Department, Pueblo County (as part of the Pueblo HOME Consortium), and dozens of community stakeholders.

The engagement strategy included two in-person trips to Pueblo to maximize face-to-face interaction with residents and stakeholders. We hosted two public meetings at local libraries, held both in-person and via Zoom, with 31 in-person attendees and additional remote participants. The meetings were recorded and shared online to extend the conversation beyond those who could attend live sessions.

To reach residents throughout the community, we distributed flyers at all five public library branches, community centers, coffee shops, and the main transit center. We promoted the meetings through 16 local Facebook community groups and partnered with the Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce and Latino Chamber of Commerce to spread the word through their networks.

An anonymous online survey garnered 87 responses from residents and workers in Pueblo, capturing opinions and experiences regarding housing challenges, discrimination, and community development priorities. More than 80% of respondents identified affordable housing as a top priority, with particular emphasis on the need for accessible units for seniors and residents with disabilities.


We also solicited detailed written responses from key stakeholders including the Pueblo Community Health Center, Archway Communities, Pueblo Urban Renewal Authority, Health Solutions, Habitat for Humanity of Pueblo, and NeighborWorks Southern Colorado. These organizations provided frontline perspectives on housing challenges, from deteriorating housing stock in historic neighborhoods to gaps in supportive services for vulnerable populations.

All outreach and analysis was conducted using HUD’s eCon Planning Suite, ensuring full compliance with federal requirements outlined in 24 CFR Part 91.

Critical Findings: Four Impediments to Fair Housing
Through analysis of American Community Survey data, Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) lending data, Colorado Civil Rights Division discrimination complaints, and extensive stakeholder input, we identified four primary impediments to fair housing choice in Pueblo:

Impediment #1: Lack of Affordable Housing as Prices Rise Relative to Income. Seventy-two percent of households earning less than 30% of area median income (AMI) are cost-burdened, with 55% severely burdened. Significant cost burden also affects households earning 30-60% AMI (37% cost-burdened), 60-80% AMI (23%), and 80-100% AMI (17%). Rising development and borrowing costs have made new housing construction “marginally infeasible” at current prices without subsidies, creating a supply shortage that drives up costs across the housing market.

Impediment #2: Deteriorating Existing Housing. Pueblo has a large stock of older homes, with the average home age exceeding 55 years. Approximately 24,000 owner-occupied single-family homes (55% of the ownership housing inventory) were built prior to 1980. Stakeholders consistently cited spreading blight, vacant properties, and substandard housing conditions as major concerns. Older homes that are not properly maintained or adapted for residents with disabilities diminish the stock of suitable, affordable housing and force extremely low-income residents into unsafe living conditions.

Impediment #3: Lack of Supportive Housing Services. Nearly a quarter of survey respondents noted that a lack of transitional housing was hurting vulnerable populations. Stakeholders emphasized the need for wrap-around services including emergency sheltering, eviction legal assistance, financial literacy training, mental health and addiction counseling, and job training to help residents retain or secure stable housing.

Impediment #4: Lack of Housing Education and Resources for Protected Populations. Analysis of 2023 HMDA data revealed persistent disparities in mortgage lending. Application denial rates for home purchase loans in Pueblo County were significantly higher for minority applicants: 26.81% for American Indian applicants, 20.19% for Asian applicants, 19.39% for Black applicants, and 19.50% for Hispanic applicants, compared to 16.57% for white applicants. These disparities, consistent with national trends, indicate a need for continued fair housing education, homebuyer counseling targeted to minority households, and proactive outreach to ensure all residents understand their rights and available resources.

Strategic Recommendations for Lasting Change
Based on these findings, CommunityScale developed a comprehensive Fair Housing Action Plan with specific, actionable recommendations across four goal areas:

Ensuring Municipal Policies Affirmatively Further Fair Housing: The City and County are currently updating zoning ordinances to relax restrictions on multifamily housing, particularly in infill areas, and to explore land-use designations that support high-density housing. The plan recommends modernizing codes to facilitate affordable construction methods, streamlining coordination between city and county departments to speed development processes, and educating the public on housing challenges and solutions.

Reducing Construction and Repair Costs: Recommendations include implementing expedited review processes for affordable and “missing middle” housing projects, adjusting design standards to enable more attainable pricing, and creating formal incentive policies for fee waivers, tax increment financing, property tax abatements, and reduced utility tap fees to make development financially feasible.

Replacing Blighted Buildings and Preventing Further Deterioration: The plan calls for creating public-private partnerships for demolition and new construction, supporting Pueblo Urban Renewal Authority efforts to reclaim vacant properties, exploring stricter enforcement of building codes, allocating more funding for repairs in high-blight areas, and launching communications campaigns to inform residents about available repair resources.

Expanding Support Systems and Education for Vulnerable Populations: Recommendations include creating a network of community development services and advocates to share information, providing more mental health and addiction services, offering financial literacy education and homebuyer counseling, expanding sheltering options, finalizing a Language Access Plan to serve limited English proficiency residents, designating a fair housing officer, and formally adopting a Reasonable Accommodation Policy.

Creating Lasting Impact
The final Consolidated Plan, Analysis of Impediments, and First Year Action Plan were delivered to the City of Pueblo in May 2025. The plans provide a clear roadmap for the City and County’s use of approximately $1.4 million in annual CDBG funding and $670,000 in HOME funding over the next five years.

The planning process engaged more than 100 residents, stakeholders, and community leaders, creating shared understanding of housing challenges and building momentum for collaborative solutions. By combining data analysis with authentic community input, the plan reflects both the urgent needs of Pueblo’s most vulnerable residents and the practical realities of housing development in today’s economic environment.

April 17, 2025
The information in this detailed housing market analysis is intended for the City to evaluate policies and programs that seek to grow the City responsibly and increase housing options for residents, whether they are forming a new household in Upper Arlington, entering as a new resident, or looking to remain in Upper Arlington through various life stages. This study provides a review of demographic trends, comparable communities, regional influences, and a quantitative deep dive into issues that shape the housing market. The analysis is grounded by interviews with stakeholders such as single-family and multifamily housing developers, regional and local government staff, and housing advocates, as well as an online survey with more than 700 responses.


New homes in Upper Arlington generate municipal revenue exceeding service costs, thus providing a net positive impact on municipal finances. The break-even assessed value per unit is approximately $619K, current market values for new construction easily surpass. The marginal cost to serve a new home in Upper Arlington is a function of services that need to scale with new demand but are not inherently covered by their own fees. Police, fire, EMS, and Parks and Recreation are funded by the City’s general revenue, whereas other services like waste, water, and sewer are covered by fees connected to those services. These expenses are then balanced by revenues from property tax, income tax for work-from-home, and ongoing revenue positive building permit fees for redevelopment and renovation.


As cities grow, the cost of providing essential services per household decreases because the new homes leverage existing infrastructure and distribute expenses such as police, fire protection, and parks across more households. More precisely, the relationship between growth and overall expenses is nonlinear as cities achieve 15% efficiency gains in infrastructure and service provision. Larger cities can provide essential services like police, fire protection, and parks at a lower per-unit cost due to these economies of scale. For Upper Arlington, a 9.8% increase in housing units from 2025-2050 as forecasted by MORPC’s Metropolitan Transportation Plan would only require about 8.2% additional resources. This economy of scale effectively reduces the break even point for revenue from new homes for Upper Arlington.

The City was interested in identifying ways to catalyze new housing development and reverse years of population decline. The study’s analysis revealed this decline as driven by a loss of housing units over time, not a lack of demand. Furthermore, the broader region has been experiencing growth for many years. Many of the study’s recommendations focused on positioning Muskogee to capture a greater share of this regional growth to drive housing development within City borders.


The housing study concluded with an action plan of strategies designed to catalyze housing development and investment across the city’s diverse neighborhoods.","Comprehensive Housing Study, Muskogee, OK: Housing needs assessment and action plan to help the community reverse years of population decline by tapping regional growth trends that have been passing Muskogee by.","=ai(""Write a 25–35 word project blurb that: Opens with the project name and location in Title Case, followed by a colon.

JM Goldson supported our team by leading an interactive and very well-attended community workshop midway through the process.

View full study results on the project dashboard and within the final report.

The project included an extensive assessment of housing needs and inventory, including a focus on the second home and short-term rental market which has contributed to very high housing costs. The team also analyzed the employment landscape to gauge how housing unaffordability impacts local agencies and businesses’ ability to staff the essential jobs that keep the community and economy going, such as town services, restaurants, and hospitality. Additionally, the project incorporated the latest legislative changes at the state level which have incrementally removed barriers and added initiatives to promote more and faster housing production across the state.

Online and in-person community engagement provided residents and stakeholders a chance to participate in the process and share insights and ideas that contributed to the final report.

This article in the Stowe Reporter summarizes the Town’s anticipated next steps toward implementing the study’s recommendations.


More than half of Stowe’s residential properties are second homes or short-term rentals. This contributes to an increasingly constrained and competitive housing market that drives up prices and threatens to displace local residents and workforce.

Project recommendations
The report recommends an “all of the above” range of strategies that the Town should pursue in parallel to address its housing challenges from multiple angles, including:

Vision: Clarify the Town’s housing vision and define what the community wants where for more predictability.

Zoning: Modify regulations to promote density, infill, and attainable housing where contextually appropriate.

Revenue: Introduce revenue sources to help finance affordable housing.

Housing reserve fund: Establish and contribute local property tax dollars to a housing reserve fund.

Housing trust: Support an existing housing trust and/or the creation of a new non-profit housing trust.

Workforce: Develop programs to promote more workforce housing.

Manage the short-term rental supply: Control the number allowed, manage allocation of new registrations, and restrict registration transfers.

Public land: Develop town-owned land as affordable or mixed-income housing with conditions.

TIF: Establish Tax Increment Financing opportunities to catalyze mixed-income housing development.

Capacity: Supplement Town staffing and resourcing in line with establishment of new policies and programs.

Advocate: Lobbying the State House to support ongoing statewide housing reform but also to highlight Stowe’s unique circumstances and constraints.","Housing Needs Assessment, Stowe, VT: Housing study and strategic plan with in-person and digital community engagement addressing Stowe’s unique housing affordability challenges driven in part by competition from second homes and short-term rentals.","=ai(""Write a 25–35 word project blurb that: Opens with the project name and location in Title Case, followed by a colon.

Key components of the project included a comprehensive Housing Needs Assessment to determine current and future demands, interactive community engagement through a dynamic website, and a focus on actionable insights to inform policy and development. The plan outlines strategies to improve housing affordability and meet the diverse needs of the community through targeted policy recommendations and a detailed housing production strategy.

The plan recommended the City build 675-1,100 new units over the next decade (including existing pipeline development), covering a mix of affordability levels from low and moderate-income to market rate.


Among Greenfield’s most striking demographic trends, the local population is expected to age rapidly over the next decade, suggesting the need for more options for seniors to age in place or downsize.
The following recommendations were elevated as near-term strategies to catalyze housing production:

Strategy        Action
Revise zoning to promote more housing production        Update the zoning ordinance to enable more housing throughout the city, addressing dimensional requirements, allowable uses, parking provisions, and other regulating factors.
Update ADU ordinance        Remove provisions that limit or slow ADU production and comply with new state legislation as applicable.
Introduce inclusionary zoning and density bonuses to zoning code        Add an inclusionary zoning provision that provides incentives for developers to include affordable units in market-rate projects. Consider density bonuses that are significant to truly unlock development opportunities in suitable locations such as in and around downtown.
Position the Hope Street lot for housing development        Perform or commission a feasibility study to inform next steps including readying the site, preparing development scenario, crafting incentives as needed, and seeking a development partner.
Establish a housing trust fund        Create a housing trust fund and capitalize it with CPA funds.
Explore UCH-TIF to support downtown development        Study the potential use of Urban Center Housing Tax Increment Financing (UCH-TIF) as an incentive to improve the development feasibility of housing projects downtown, such as a market- or mostly market-rate development on the Hope Street lot.
Market Greenfield to the regional and national development community        Begin outreach to regional and national developers, promoting Greenfield as a promising place to invest and discussing incentives and partnerships that might catalyze new development in line with City goals.
To help the City navigate ongoing policy changes at the state level, CommunityScale also provided a supplementary study focused on ADU policy and implementation guidance.","Housing Plan, Greenfield, MA: A plan to measure attainability gaps across the full spectrum of price points and housing typologies to inform the City’s plans for increased equity and new growth.","=ai(""Write a 25–35 word project blurb that: Opens with the project name and location in Title Case, followed by a colon.

This collaboration modernized and streamlined Melrose’s zoning laws to reflect the community’s current and future needs. The team reorganized and rewrote the existing zoning ordinance to align with state laws, encourage the development of diverse housing types, and support the preservation of Melrose’s architectural heritage. 

Key accomplishments of the project included restructuring the zoning code for improved clarity and accessibility, removing redundant and conflicting regulations, and updating the code to comply with current state laws and court decisions. The recodification also streamlined processes by moving certain requirements, such as site plan review and special permit criteria, to separate regulations documents. The team engaged with stakeholders through multiple meetings with city staff and the Planning Board to gather feedback and ensure the recodified ordinance met the city’s needs.

The City Council voted to adopt the recodified zoning ordinance on October 21, 2024.

Deliverable	Housing Needs Plan
The Kennebunk Housing Needs Plan (2024-2034) addresses the pressing demand for diverse, affordable housing solutions in Kennebunk, Maine. The plan profiles the local community’s people and housing stock, establishes an approach to meeting projected demand, and recommends strategies for new housing to meet expected need through 2034.


Projected household income distribution based on past trends
With a projected addition of 50 households annually over the next decade, the plan established a housing production target to ensure balanced growth across income levels, particularly focusing on workforce housing in the 60-120% AMI range for essential workers in health, education, and public safety.

Who is eligible for affordable housing?
Who is eligible for affordable housing?
To accommodate these households, Kennebunk will prioritize housing production near the three village centers, aligned with the town’s Climate Action Plan to steer development away from climate hazard zones and enhance the community’s resilience.

The plan outlines several targeted strategies, including updating zoning laws, expanding affordable housing subsidies, and leveraging state funding to support attainable housing options.","Housing Needs Plan, Kennebunk, ME: Authored a housing plan analyzing local demographics, housing stock, and future needs.

Deliverable	Housing Production Plan
The Lancaster Housing Production Plan (HPP) for 2024-2029 provides an updated roadmap to enhance affordable housing options in the town. Building on the foundation set by the 2019 HPP, this new plan focuses on achieving the state’s goal of more than 10% affordable housing units. The plan includes a needs assessment based on demographic analysis and market trends, which identify pressing housing challenges, such as housing attainability and cost burdens for residents. Additionally, the plan outlines the importance of meeting the housing needs of growing income groups, particularly the 30-60% AMI category, and accommodating Lancaster’s aging population.

What is a Housing Production Plan?
By state statute MGL Chapter 40B, cities and towns are required to provide more than 10% of their total year-round housing units as deed-restricted Affordable Housing. Affordable Housing is deed-restricted housing that eligible low- and moderate-income residents can afford by paying no more than 30% of their annual household income. Lancaster has 3,053 housing units, per the 2022 Census ACS 5-Year estimate, of which 188 (or about 6.2%) are deed-restricted Affordable Housing units on the state’s Subsidized Housing Inventory (SHI).

The number of households in Lancaster has been growing at a rate of 2.3% a year since 2010

Digital report
CommunityScale created an open source report dashboard to outline the plan's objectives and priorities, share key observations and findings about the local housing landscape, and highlight recommended strategies to increase housing production and address affordability challenges. Learn more about our digital products.


Crafting strategies
We worked with the client and Levine Planning Strategies to create five housing goals and a suite of regulatory changes and local programs to address affordability.

The plan's actionable strategies include zoning changes, town land disposition, and an increase in the Community Preservation Act rate. Through community engagement initiatives, Lancaster has identified support for flexible zoning and smaller homes while preserving neighborhood character. Public utility expansions and increased Affordable Housing Trust funding are additional recommendations, ensuring that Lancaster has the infrastructure and financial tools to support the anticipated housing demand. This HPP emphasizes a proactive approach to affordable housing, designed to align with broader community objectives of economic growth, sustainability, and inclusivity.","Housing Production Plan, Lancaster, MA: In-depth housing needs assessment, stakeholder interviews, community engagement, and strategies to satisfy the State’s reporting requirement.","=ai(""Write a 25–35 word project blurb that: Opens with the project name and location in Title Case, followed by a colon.

Over the course of five months, our team members worked from a broad range of options to develop several specific scenarios in GIS that investigated the implications of different zoning options. Together with the client, those scenarios were refined and vetted until a preferred option was selected.

The proposed scenario was presented to the Planning Board on January 11, 2023. It uses two overlays to achieve the required capacity. The higher density overlay uses dimensional and density requirements similar to residential developments already built or entitled near Corporate Center, at a density of roughly 30 units per acre. The lower density overlay has a density of roughly 15 units per acre.


Following adoption of the zoning, CommunityScale worked with the Town to complete EOHLC’s compliance calculator and other materials for compliance submission. More information is available on the Town’s website.","MBTA Communities Multifamily Zoning, Dedham, MA: CommunityScale team members led the zoning overlay effort for Dedham, an early adopter of the MBTA Communities requirements.","=ai(""Write a 25–35 word project blurb that: Opens with the project name and location in Title Case, followed by a colon.

The zoning rewrite was adopted unanimously by the Lynn City Council on June 24, 2025.

The rewrite focused on translating the City’s vision into a practical and effective zoning framework. A technical audit at the outset revealed that just 4% of Lynn’s residential parcels actually complied with the old code. The new ordinance corrects that mismatch, delivers a user-friendly structure, and supports twenty-first century economic, housing, and sustainability goals.

What Changed and Why It Matters
Predictable approvals replace use variances. Stakeholders told the City that routine projects often require variance for land use and dimensional relief, which created an unpredictable process for owners and residents. The new ordinance eliminates use variances altogether and updates the use and dimensional table to reflect the reality on the ground and the community’s vision. When a proposal needs discretionary review, the elected City Council now holds that authority through a clear special-permit process with written criteria, giving both neighbors and applicants a shared understanding of what counts.

Right-sized dimensional rules calibrated to real neighborhoods. Front setbacks, lot widths, height limits, and coverage ratios were rebuilt using block-by-block data. Triple-deckers, duplexes, and other long-established building types finally fit the rules. Homeowners and builders can now create infill housing at a scale that matches the existing neighborhoods.

Downtown ground-floor standards promote active streets. A new rule clarifies exactly where and how commercial space must occupy the first story along specified corridors. The requirement focuses on high-foot-traffic blocks and exempts quieter edge streets.


A simplified zoning map. Five residential districts have been trimmed to four. Outdated zones were retired while new mixed-use districts (M1 and M2) line Market, Washington, and Central Streets to create room for both housing and modern commercial space. These changes steer growth to logical corridors and nodes as identified in Vision Lynn.


A modern use table for a modern economy. Biotech labs, clean manufacturing, artisanal production, and breweries are explicitly addressed.

Read more about CommunityScale’s approach to functional zoning use groups.

Housing Opportunity
The rewrite preserves Lynn’s 2022 inclusionary-zoning mandate and changes the ability to deliver infill housing:

Accessory dwelling units are now allowed by right.
Dimensional tweaks let duplexes and triple-deckers fit in existing infill lots.
Rebuild grace period for nonconforming structures after a disaster is extended from one year to three, giving owners time to secure financing and permits without losing rights.
Adaptive reuse of legacy buildings now has a clear path to covert to residential while contributing to historic preservation. Former mills, schools, other commercial buildings, and large pre-1965 residences can be converted to two or more dwellings by special permit.
A Community-Driven Process
Mayor Nicholson emphasized transparency throughout. The planning team produced an interactive map, videos, and infographics. A multilingual survey and a six-week public-comment period generated formal comments, many of which prompted adjustments and clarifying definitions. A cross-departmental working group drew members from Law, Inspectional Services, EDIC, the Planning Board, the Zoning Board of Appeals, and three City Councilors.


Mayor Jared C. Nicholson
City of Lynn, MA
Comment from the zoning adoption hearing

“The document is a result of extensive public input process that included multiple surveys, community presentations, office hours, videos, and a formal public comment period. A 21st century zoning ordinance will help us achieve our vision for the community for the kind of growth that we’re looking for in jobs and neighborhoods and make the process more predictable, which benefits everyone.”

Lynn now has a zoning framework that matches the reality on the ground, encourages balanced growth, and is easy for residents and investors to understand. The City can attract private investment, expand its commercial tax base, and add diverse housing choices while giving residents confidence that change will be guided by transparent, predictable rules.","Lynn, MA Rezoning: Authored a complete rezoning, translating the City’s vision into a practical framework, which was adopted unanimously by the Lynn City Council.","=ai(""Write a 35-45 word project blurb that: Opens with the project name and location in Title Case, followed by a colon.

“To identify where do we need to make improvements in infrastructure… It means things like roads, sidewalks, streets, trees, lighting, bike lanes… And so we need to do a needs assessment and that’s what this plan did. Second is that we really need to be focusing on how do we make it easier for people to redevelop or to invest in their properties.”

Creating the actionable plan is a highly collaborative process. It began with online surveys, data gathering, and analysis of demographics in the defined project area. We also gained significant input from the community through several public and stakeholder meetings. This process is revealing the wants and needs of stakeholders and avoiding the “top-down” way of previous, abortive, revitalization proposals.

The effort included extensive data analysis, housing needs assessment, strategies toolkit, and actionable implementation plan. CommunityScale produced Housing Needs Assessments for each county individually as well as the region as a whole. These assessments provide perspective on housing markets, need, and production goals to help inform local policymaking. 

The study concluded with a strategy toolkit and implementation plan intended to foster increased housing production across the region. Recommendations focused on how MACOG and its partners can best resource and support its member communities as they navigate housing challenges and opportunities that may manifest very differently from place to place.

Project deliverables include an online project dashboard and digital communication assets such as social media graphics designed to convey key concepts, findings, and recommendations in digestible and shareable formats.

The study's results directly contributed to a transformative outcome for the local community: a major grant from Lilly Endowment Inc., awarded through its Community Leadership Implementation Grants initiative, including $20M dedicated to establishing and operating a regional housing land trust and investment fund.

CommunityScale had the privilege of working closely with the Northern Kentucky Area Development District (NKADD), Brighton Center, and dozens of local partners to develop Home For All: Northern Kentucky Housing Strategies.

Aligning job growth and housing
One of the most striking trends we encountered as we began this engagement was the robust job growth throughout Northern Kentucky’s eight-county region (Boone, Campbell, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton, Owen, and Pendleton). From large logistics operations near the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport to expanding healthcare and tech positions in urban cores, employers are hiring. Yet, as noted in the 2023 Northern Kentucky Housing Study, this growth has outpaced the area’s current supply of homes.

Defining the needs
The study reported that the region needs an additional 6,650 new homes over five years to keep up with economic growth (see WXIX coverage). These homes must be aligned with the full range of incomes and life stages: from young professionals looking for an affordable condo to older adults who want to downsize while staying near family. Our role at CommunityScale was to help local stakeholders translate these findings into action-oriented solutions.

Stakeholder engagement
In our consulting work, one principle stands out: Strong solutions spring from strong conversations. We facilitated sessions with more than 90 civic and business leaders—people working in real estate, economic development, government offices, and nonprofits. Many of them graciously shared their time and insights during workshops, data walks, and review sessions. They brought forward the unique housing challenges faced in both urban corridors and rural areas.

Data-informed, locally driven
From day one, we aimed to balance quantitative data with qualitative expertise. The Northern Kentucky Housing Data Study gave us a baseline for the gaps to fill—especially the “missing middle” homes priced for moderate-income workers. Then, ongoing community meetings and surveys revealed how older adults, first-time buyers, and a variety of local employers all experience Northern Kentucky’s housing dynamics differently.

Top strategies in the Home For All report
A flexible “menu of strategies”
Rather than a prescriptive plan, Home For All functions as a menu: 50 strategies that communities can adapt based on local capacity, priorities, and resources (report available at HousingNKY.org). Below are just a few highlights we believe could make an immediate impact:

Proactive code enforcement: Many of Northern Kentucky’s older neighborhoods have vacant or deteriorating homes that could be saved and returned to the market. Cost-effective code enforcement helps preserve existing homes and prevents demolition by neglect.
Missing middle housing strategy: Demand for townhomes, duplexes, and cottages frequently outpaces supply. Streamlined regulations and creative zoning can lower development costs and attract builders interested in these vital home types.
Expedited permitting: In a growing region, time is of the essence. By coordinating more closely with planning commissions and building departments, localities can help cost-conscious developers increase their pace without compromising safety.
Regional housing trust fund: If established, such a fund could issue grants or forgivable loans that encourage income-aligned development and preserve affordability. Other cities that use this model have successfully scaled new home construction, adding more entry-level purchase options.
Small developer support: Many smaller builders left the industry after the 2008 recession. By offering training, tailored financing, or technical assistance, local officials can jump-start the creation of missing middle homes and spur more competition in the market.
In addition, the report highlights strategies like incentives for landlords who accept Housing Choice Vouchers and a “landlord property inventory” system to help match available rentals with tenants quickly. These recommendations underscore that addressing local needs requires public, private, and nonprofit sectors to work in tandem.


Tara Johnson-Noem
Executive Director
Northern Kentucky Area Development District

“Home for All is the culmination of a year’s worth of work involving more than 90 community leaders and experts who devoted countless hours to addressing the region’s urgent housing needs. The goal is to close the housing gap across income levels to ensure our children have somewhere to live in our region when they leave home, that our parents can afford to downsize if they wish, and that our teachers and first responders have somewhere to live within a reasonable drive of their workplace.” (nkytribune.com)

How communities can use these insights
Crafting local policy
Each county or municipality has its own set of opportunities and constraints. Boone County leaders, for instance, might prioritize encouraging “downsize-friendly” homes for retirees, while rural counties might focus more on addressing the distance between existing homes and employment centers. The idea is for local governments to pick relevant options from the menu and tailor them.

Bolstering economic development
We often say that “homes are where jobs sleep at night.” Site selection experts advise businesses to look closely at a region’s housing stock before bringing new operations to town. By taking on more of these strategies—improving the number of diverse homes and simplifying the path to development—Northern Kentucky can more effectively recruit employers, ranging from logistics companies to tech startups.

Partnering with the private sector
One strategy we encourage municipalities to explore is forging partnerships with local employers who see housing costs and availability as a top concern. Employers benefit by retaining workers who can live closer to the job site. With the help of philanthropic grants or a newly formed regional housing trust fund, local entities could launch pilot projects near large employment hubs.","Regional Housing Strategies, Northern Kentucky: Co-developed the ""Home for All"" initiative delivering a menu of 50 strategies for an eight-county region.
