Barnstable Opens Comment Period For Future Land Use Map

Want to add your input into what Barnstable could use local land for over the next decade? The public comment period ends later this month.

News release from Town of Barnstable.

HYANNIS, MA — 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.
