Longer-form draft.

At the June 2 Planning Board meeting, significant questions were raised regarding two major development projects that could reshape local density and land use in Falmouth.

Regarding the proposed co-living development at 538 North Falmouth Highway, the board expressed skepticism over the adequacy of the current plan. Specifically, the proposal includes 50 bedrooms but only 43 parking spaces. Board members pointed out the practical reality that residents will not be relying on bicycles during winter months. The hearing has been continued to July 7 to allow the applicant to conduct a formal traffic impact study and address engineering concerns.

Additionally, the board is investigating the expansion of the contractor’s yard at 348 and 350 Old Meetinghouse Road. There are outstanding questions regarding stormwater discharge, the specific types of heavy equipment to be used, and whether the proximity of this commercial expansion to the residential dwelling at 356 Old Meetinghouse adheres to local zoning bylaws. The applicant must provide more information before the next hearing on June 23.

As these developments move forward, residents should stay engaged with the planning process to ensure infrastructure and zoning laws are strictly upheld. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/falmouth/planning-board/2026-06-02/ #MeetingWatch #FalmouthMA
