Cape Cod Regional Housing Strategy

2023

Outwith Studio assissted the Cape Cod Commission to develop a Regional Housing Strategy for the 15 towns in Barnstable County, MA. Outwith led a team including architects and designers at Utile, attorney Mark Bobrowski, and real estate consultants Weitzman Associates in a set of discrete tasks that supported the Commission’s work:

  1. Zoning analysis (inspired, in part, by the National Zoning Atlas)
  2. Housing preference survey
  3. Regional housing entities research
  4. Housing finance tools research
  5. Multifamily residential design guidelines
  6. Land acquisition strategy research
  7. Model zoning bylaws: mixed-use zoning, design-driven residential zoning, single-family to multifamily conversion zoning, seasonal worker dormitory zoning, and year-round housing incentive zoning
  8. Model deed restrictions for year-round residents and workers on the Cape

Outwith’s June McCartin provides team-wide coordination and project management and is the lead on several content areas.
