Housing Production Plan – Development Constraints Analysis
As part of JM Goldson’s work on the Town of Weston’s Housing Production Plan, our team performed a development constraints analysis that considers many factors that influence the feasibility of housing production, from physical limitations to regulations that shape development and land use. Weston is a high-income semi-rural community located in eastern Massachusetts in Middlesex County.
Our team reviewed environmental constraints, infrastructure constraints, and regulatory barriers. In addition, we performed spatial analyses of lot size per minimum zoning requirements, improvement to land value ratio, and land value, factors that may indicate potential opportunities for development or redevelopment.
