The Local Comprehensive Plan Committee (LCPC) is seeking public comment on the future land use map. Additional information and instructions on how to comment are available in the press release below.

FYI - the entire village of Cotuit is designated within the "Resource Protection Overlay District" (RPOD) which means there's a two-acre minimum lot area.

(HYANNIS, MA – October 3, 2024) The Local Comprehensive Planning Committee (LCPC) is conducting an exercise to update the Town of Barnstable’s Future Land Use Map with proposed land use study areas that will guide Barnstable’s future over the next 10 years. The LCPC is seeking feedback regarding the proposed land use study areas: should any of the study areas be amended, are there additional study areas that should be identified? The public comment period for the Draft Future Land Use Map is open through close of business Wednesday, October 23rd.

The Draft Future Land Use Map is accessible for review from the Town’s Local Comprehensive Plan website BarnstableLCP.com via the “Future Land Use Map” tab. The webpage includes an image of the map with the proposed study areas and provides access to an interactive version of the map with the ability to submit comments live on the map. (CSCA Comment: The interactive map is available here: Future Land Use Interactive Map)

Comments can be submitted online via the interactive map, by email to BarnstableLCP@town.barnstable.ma.us or dropped off in person or via mail to: Planning & Development, 367 Main Street, Hyannis, MA 02601. Hard copies of the Draft Future Land Use Map are accessible at each of the Town’s libraries and the Barnstable Adult Community Center.
