The Town of Dennis is requesting higher development review thresholds from the Cape Cod Commission to promote revitalization of the Dennisport village center. The proposal would increase the development threshold to 45,000 square feet for mixed-use projects and allow commercial components up to 15,000 square feet and residential projects up to 30 units or 45 bedrooms without triggering regional review. Higher thresholds would reduce costs of redevelopment and encourage reinvestment in existing developed areas over new "greenfield" development, supporting the town's goals of revitalizing its village centers.
4. Higher thresholds for redevelopment and removing the burden of CCC involvement in this redevelopment, is critical to off-setting the cost of redevelopment.
17. Implements Dennis Local Comprehensive Plan, Zoning and Cape Cod Commission’s Regional Policy Plan
18. “ The Town seeks to encourage… creation of village centers that provide a pleasant environment for living, working and shopping for residents and visitors.”
