11 Union Street, Cambridge, MA 02139

Special Permit Application

01 April 2021

Project Overview

The single-family residence at 11 Union Street is a three-story structure of conventional style originally

constructed around 1873. The exterior is clad in both painted wood shingles and painted wood clapboards

separated by a band of trim above the first story. The main portion of the house, measuring about twenty feet

wide by thirty feet deep, is a three-story structure with two single story masses sitting behind it. The lot is located

within the C-1 zoning district and is surrounded by similarly scaled structures of both single and multi-family

residences. The proposed use of the structure is to remain as it exists.

This application for Special Permit is being sought due to an existing non-conformity for setbacks on the north

side of the structure. The structure as it exists does not conform to the dimensional requirements set forth by

Article 5.000 – Table 5-1 for the residential C-1 district and encroaches on the side yard setback. The proposed

modification of the residence is to increase the width of the mudroom to the south in order to fit a code compliant

stair to a newly finished basement space, as indicated on the drawings. The proposed work will maintain the

existing nonconformity on the north and proposes modification of the south wall of the mudroom. This change in

building width would meet the dimensional requirements for the C-1 district and does not propose to alter or

increase the existing nonconformity. This alteration is described in section 8.22.1 e of the Ordinance and is

outlined below for reference.

8.22.1 e. “Demolition of a structure or portions of a structure that (1) reduces the extent of an existing

nonconformity, or that (2) does not increase or otherwise affect any existing nonconformity, and that (3) does not

create a new zoning violation.”


Compliance with Zoning

The proposed work at 11 Union Street meets the intent and specific requirements of the C-1 district as outlined in

the table below. The existing non-conforming conditions of the rear yard setback, side yard setback, and building

height are proposed as remaining with no proposed change in the nonconformity.


Compliance with Criteria Special to Special Permits Being Sought

The proposed work at 11 Union Street meets the criteria set forth in section 8.22.1 e of the Ordinance and is outlined below for reference. 8.22.1 e. “Demolition of a structure or portions of a structure that (1) reduces the extent of an existing nonconformity, or that (2) does not increase or otherwise affect any existing nonconformity, and that (3) does not create a new zoning violation.” The new location of the mudroom wall will not encroach on the existing side yard setback to the south side and will remain further from the property line than two existing walls. The north wall of the mudroom, which exists within the side yard setback on the north, is proposed to be rebuilt in place therefor not increasing or affecting the existing nonconformity. There is no scope of work proposed to the west portion of the residence or to the main portion of the house that affects the overall building height.

Scope Diagram: not to scale Compliance with General Special Permits Criteria (Section 10.43)

Criteria. Special permits will normally be granted where specific provisions of this Ordinance are met, except when particulars of the location or use, not generally true of the district or of the uses permitted in it, would cause granting of such permit to be to the detriment of the public interest because: (a)It appears that requirements of this Ordinance cannot or will not be met, or The conditions set forth by the Ordinance section 8.22.1 e are being met by the proposed work. (b)Traffic generated or patterns of access or egress would cause congestion, hazard, or substantial change in established neighborhood character, or No proposed change in traffic or patterns of egress. (c)The continued operation of or the development of adjacent uses as permitted in the Zoning Ordinance would be adversely affected by the nature of the proposed use, or The surrounding context will not be adversely affected by the proposed work.
