FY20 Community Preservation Plan
The Community Preservation Act in Salem
Introduction
Salem's Community Preservation Plan serves a dual purpose. It provides the public with an overview of CPA
in Salem and looks at Salem's community preservation needs,possibilities and resources. In addition,it serves
as an annual report—summarizing the status of funded projects and including copies of required State reports.
I. The Community Preservation Act in Salem
A. Overview
The Community Preservation Act (CPA) is a Massachusetts state law (M.G.L. Chapter 44B)passed
in 2000. It enables adopting communities to raise funds and establish a local dedicated pool of funds
for the purpose of undertaking open space, historic preservation, outdoor recreation and community
housing projects.
CPA is financed by a voter-approved property tax surcharge along with matching funds from the
statewide CPA Trust Fund. The CPA Trust Fund provides annual matching funds, distributed
according to a formula that ranges from 5% to 100%of what is raised locally. Recording fees at the
State's Registries of Deeds fund the CPA Trust Fund, along with any additionally authorized funding
sources, such as funds from the State's budget surplus.
CPA was adopted by Salem voters in November, 2012.
B. Understanding the Property Tax Surcharge in Salem
The CPA surcharge is paid by residential and commercial property owners annually(included in real
estate tax bills). The first $100,000 of taxable value is exempt. On the remaining value's assessed
property tax,the City of Salem levies a surcharge of 1%.
The 1%surcharge is calculated as follows(using an assessed valuation of$300,000 as an example and
based on the City of Salem's FYI tax rate):
The annual tax rate is $15.10 per $1000 of the A. Assessment Example: $300,000.00
property assessment (A - $1000 x $15.10 = Q. B. FY 2018 Tax Rate $15.10
The CPA exempts $100,000 (A - D = E). The C. FY 2018 TAX $4,530.00
tax rate is applied to the CPA Taxable Value (E D. CPA Residential Exemption $100,000.00
$1000 x $15.10 =F). The surcharge is 1% of E. CPA Taxable Value p $200,000.00
the CPA Tax Basis (F x 1% = G). C + G = H F. CPA Tax Basis $3,020.00
(the total year's bill).
The surcharge is divided equally per quarterly G. CPA Surcharge—1% $30.20
bill (e.g. $30.20=$7.55 per quarter). A Taxpayer
Information Guide is available at I H. TOTAL BILL $4,560.20

1
Exemptions
Any residential property entitled to abatement or statutory exemption is automatically entitled to a
proportional CPA exemption. Certain households may be eligible for a full CPA exemption. To
qualify for an exemption, residential property owners must meet age, residency and income
requirements. An application for exemption from the CPA surcharge(based on income)must be filed
annually with the Assessor's Office by March 315t. The filing of the application does not stay the
collection of the tax. Any resident who believes they are eligible for a full exemption should contact
the City's Assessors Office.
C. The Community Preservation Committee
Implementation of the CPA in Salem is undertaken through the Community Preservation Committee
(CPC). Salem's CPC was established in May, 2013 and is composed of nine members representing
the Conservation Commission, Historical Commission, Park & Recreation Commission, Planning
Board and the Salem Housing Authority, along with general public appointees (2 appointees each) of
the Mayor and the City Council. Salem's current CPC members are:
John Boris Ed Moriarty
Chris Burke Mickey Northcutt
Deborah Greel Mark Pattison
Carole Hamilton Tim Shea(Vice Chair)
Bart Hoskins (Chair)
The CPC's administrator is Jane Guy, Assistant Community Development Director, in the City of
Salem Department of Planning&Community Development.
CPC meetings are typically held on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:OOpm at 98 Washington
St., I"Floor Conference Room(check the calendar on www.salem.com). Interested persons may also
subscribe at www.salem.com for CPC meeting agendas.
The Community Preservation Commission's webpage is located on the City website at
hqp://www.salem.com/community_preservation-committee. It includes meeting agendas, all meeting
minutes, forms, links and helpful documents.
D. The Role of the CPC
The CPC is primarily a source for recommending project funding, rather than an initiator of projects.
The Salem CPC's duties include:
• Assess Community Preservation needs of Salem
• Solicit input from city boards and commissions
• Hold an annual public hearing to solicit public input
• Submit a recommended annual budget to the City Council
• Prepare a Community Preservation Plan, which is updated annually
• Prepare application materials & set application deadlines
• Submit project funding recommendations to the City Council after review of applications
received by City departments or non-profit agencies
2
E. The Role of the City Council
While the CPC is responsible for studying community preservation needs and reviewing applications
submitted for CPA funding, it is ultimately the City Council that must approve any CPA expenditure
-based on the recommendations of the Community Preservation Committee. The City Council actions
are limited to the following:
• Approve recommendations of the CPC
• Reject recommendations of the CPC
• Reduce amount recommended by the CPC
• Reserve amount recommended by the CPC to applicable reserve account,rather than approving
the project
F. Community Education and Outreach
A variety of educational and outreach efforts are undertaken to inform Salem residents,businesses and
stakeholders about the CPA and to solicit public input.
1. Public Documents
• A Taxpayer Information Guide is updated annually by the Assessor's Office.
• The CPC issues an annual Determination of Eli ig b�ty Application.
• The CPC issues a Community Preservation Plan which includes the prior year Annual Report,
current Evaluation Criteria and the Funding Applications.
• The CPC issues a Report on Funding Recommendations for the Salem City Council (most
recent dated June 18, 2019).
• All CPA-related public documents are available on the CPC's webpage at
http://www.salem.com/community_preservation-committee. In addition, the webpage
includes meeting agendas,minutes and other helpful information and links.
2. Notification Procedures
For its monthly meetings, agendas/notices are posted at City Hall and are uploaded to the City
website. Any interested person may subscribe to receive agendas/notices through the e-mail
subscriber.
For the annual public hearing, a legal notice is published in the Salem News twice,and notices are
posted at City Hall, on SATV, at the Salem Public Library, at the Salem Council on Aging, and
the Salem Housing Authority. Notices are sent to all City Councillors. The notice is posted on
the City's website calendar, legal notices section and in City News.
Notification of the availability of the Draft Community Preservation Plan(including a link to the
plan) and request for public comment is placed on the City website in City News, and is sent to
the City Council,relevant city boards and commissions and Historic Salem, Inc.
While Determination of Eligibility Applications can be received at any time, the annual deadline
to ensure consideration for the current funding round is announced in City News on
www.salem.com.

3. Solicitation of Input
Once each year,the CPA is included on the agendas of the Park&Recreation, Conservation, and
Historical Commissions, Bicycle Advisory Committee, the Planning Board, the Salem
Redevelopment Authority and the Salem Housing Authority. CPA is also on the agenda of the
Neighborhood Improvement Advisory Committee; whose members represent all of the various
neighborhood associations.
An annual public hearing is held at 98 Washington Street, which includes a PowerPoint
presentation and time for questions and comments. The FY20 public hearing was held on October
8, 2019. All persons in attendance received a copy of the PowerPoint Presentation and a survey.
Written public comment is accepted through October 25, 2019 and is considered during the
development of the Draft Community Preservation Plan.
The Draft Community Preservation Plan is made available for a two-week public comment period
prior to finalization.
G. Fiscal Year Explanation of Tasks
During each fiscal year,the CPC will undertake several tasks and prepare several documents.
During the current fiscal year—FY20 (July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020),the CPC will:
• Prepare the FY20 Community Preservation Plan,which includes the FY 19 annual report;
• Prepare the FY21 Budget Recommendation(for July 1, 2020-June 30, 2021); and
• Conduct FY20 Funding Round 7 and prepare the FY20 Funding Recommendations
which will utilize remaining FY20 funds and approved FY21 funds.

1. Definitions
"Capital improvement",reconstruction or alteration of real property that: (1)materially adds to the
value of the real property, or appreciably prolongs the useful life of the real property; (2)becomes
part of the real property or is permanently affixed to the real property so that removal would cause
material damage to the property or article itself, and (3) is intended to become a permanent
installation or is intended to remain there for an indefinite period of time.
"Maintenance", incidental repairs which neither materially add to the value of the property nor
appreciably prolong the property's life, but keep the property in a condition of fitness, efficiency
or readiness.
Note: CPA funds cannot be used for ordinary maintenance. CPA funds can be used for
preservation(protecting personal or real property from injury,harm or destruction)and for capital
improvements (rehabilitation/restoration).
2. Studies and Reports
While studies and reports are an allowable CPA use, CPA funds cannot be used to update existing
studies or prepare studies that would typically be undertaken by a city department or
board/commission(i.e. Master Plan, Open Space Plan,Historic Preservation Plan, etc.).
Studies and reports can be undertaken as a phase of an approved project. The CPC can also use
its reserved administrative account funds to undertake general studies that will assist them in
identifying needs and possibilities for the use of CPA funds. An example is the examination of a
site's environmental contamination prior to the potential future acquisition for recreational or
conservation land.

funds and the estimated local surcharge for FY21 (to be provided by the City Assessor) will form
Salem's FY21 CPA budget. Once approved by the City Council, the FY21 budget will also be
available to the CPC as it considers its funding recommendations during the FY20 funding round. It
should be noted that CPA funds that are not awarded in one year may be reserved (carried over to
subsequent years). In addition, CPA regulations permit bonding against future local surcharge
revenue.

Application Process Review
IV.Application Process Overview
A. Step 1: Determination of Eligibility
The Determination of Eligibility Application(DOE) is the first step in a two-step application process
submitting project proposals for Community Preservation Act(CPA) funds. This enables applicants
to know if their project is eligible under CPA regulations prior to submitting the comprehensive
Funding Application. The CPC will also determine under which category a project is deemed
eligible (Community Housing,Historic Resources, Open Space or Recreation Land) and under
which definition(Acquisition, Creation, Preservation, Support or Rehabilitation/Restoration).
Proponents of eligible projects will be invited to submit a Funding Application and will be provided
a copy of the application materials and Evaluation Criteria. Proponents of projects deemed
ineligible will be notified in writing. DOEs may be submitted up to a week prior to any regular
meeting. The CPC will announce an annual deadline for DOES approximately six weeks prior to the
annual funding round application deadline.
B. Step 2: Funding Round
Project proponents who are invited to submit a Funding Application will be mailed and/or emailed
application materials. Project proponents may submit Funding Applications any time after they have
received a Letter of Eligibility from the CPC.
To ensure project consideration for the annual round of funding,the CPC will announce an annual
deadline for applications. Applications received after the deadline may also be reviewed by the CPC
depending on the urgency of the project and the availability of funding.
1. Community Preservation Committee Funding Round Review:
During the funding round review,the CPC may request additional information. The CPC can
postpone further review of the application until the next round if there is missing information,
incomplete information,additional information desired,or for any matter the committee deems
would delay the current funding round. The CPC may return the application for completion
and resubmission. Once the CPC is satisfied with the Application's completeness, it will be
accepted for funding consideration and then evaluated utilizing the Evaluation Criteria.
The CPC will vote on a rank of High, Medium or Low Priority for each project within each
category(Community Housing,Historic Resources, Open Space, and Recreational Land).
After consideration of available funding, the CPC will issue one of three determinations for
each project:
■ Recommended for funding - This means the application has been selected and a funding
amount will be submitted to the City Council for approval. Note: This does not necessarily
mean that the total amount requested in the application will be recommended for funding.
The CPC may also include conditions as part of its funding recommendation.
■ Accepted for future consideration of funding - Typically, this means that the project is
desirable,but that other projects were deemed higher priority. The application will not be
15
recommended to the City Council for funding approval during the current round.
However, a funding recommendation will be considered at subsequent funding rounds
(carried over) - or sooner, if the CPC so decides. The applicant will not need to submit a
new application for the project,but may submit additional information.
■ Not recommended for funding - The applicant will be notified in writing the reason that
the project was not recommended for funding. The application as submitted will not be
reconsidered at subsequent funding rounds. If the applicant desires to resubmit a project
proposal, the application process must begin with a new Application for Determination of
Eligibility and it is recommended that the new project proposal be a significant change
over the initial proposal.
The CPC may choose not to recommend all available funds to projects. The CPC may choose
to recommend awards to some projects and then carry over remaining funds. Remaining funds
may be considered for any urgent projects that may arise prior to the next funding round or
may be added to the following round of available funds.
C. Step 3: City Council Recommendation and Vote
The CPC's recommendations will be presented to the City Council one or more times annually. The
City Council has the final authority to award funds from Salem's Community Preservation Act Fund.
It may approve, approve but with a lower level of funding, or reject recommendations. The City
Council takes a vote on each recommendation. It is suggested that applicants attend this meeting to
answer any questions. Members of the public may speak in favor of or against specific
recommendations at the public session preceding each Council meeting.
D. Step 4: Funding Awards
For projects approved by City Council, the CPC will issue award letters with information on the
funding amount, funding conditions, project modifications as voted by City Council (if any), and
guidelines for project execution.
E. Additional Information
1. Requirements
Non-city CPA funding awardees must sign a Memorandum of Agreement(MOA)which describes
the implementation and reporting requirements. The MOA will be tailored to each project and
may include one or more of the following conditions or other conditions as identified by the CPC:
• Status Reports-Status reports will be required quarterly.If it becomes apparent that the project
will not be moving forward after a reasonable time period, the CPC may recommend to the
City Council that funds be reprogrammed.
• Photographs - Before and after photographs must be provided
• Project Sign(temporary and/or permanent) -A CPA project sign may be required to be posted
at the project site, which must be paid out of the CPA funding award. The CPC may add the
cost of the sign to the project funding award recommendation.
For projects awarded funding, all required permits and approvals must be obtained before
construction commences. Please check if your project will require permitting or approvals from
any City boards or Departments. Examples are the Electrical, Engineering, Fire Prevention,
Health, and Building Departments, the Cemetery, Conservation, Historical or Park & Recreation
16
Commission and/or the Planning Board, Salem Redevelopment Authority or Zoning Board of
Appeals.
Projects receiving CPA funding shall credit this source of funding in all promotional materials.
2. Restrictions Required for Acquisition of Real Property
Section 12a of the Community Preservation Act requires that a permanent restriction be placed on
any "real property interest" acquired using CPA funds to ensure that the property continues to be
used for the applicable CPA purpose. Given this statutory requirement, a CPA project involving
acquisition of any real property interest is technically not complete until the restriction is approved
by the appropriate state agency and filed at the Registry of Deeds. These are the four types of
restrictions that are commonly used in CPA projects:
For Open Space Conservation and Outdoor Recreation Projects: Conservation Restrictions
>>Approved by the MA Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EOEEA)
For Community Housing Projects: Affordable Housing Restrictions
>>Approved by the MA Dept. of Housing and Community Development(DHCD)
Restrictions shall be for those persons and families whose annual income is less than 80 per cent
of the area-wide median income. The area-wide median income shall be the area-wide median
income as determined by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
For Open Space Agricultural Projects: Agricultural Preservation Restrictions
>>Approved by the MA Dept. of Agricultural Resources (DAR)
For Historic Projects: Historic Preservation Restrictions
>>Approved by the Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC)
3. Procurement
The procurement laws are multiple state statutes that deal with various aspects of municipal
procurement including building construction,public works construction,design services,supplies,
services, and real property. In addition, prevailing wage laws apply for construction projects
undertaken by public entities in the state as well as to some limited services provided to them. The
procurement and prevailing wage laws are complicated—they apply in various ways depending
on circumstances of the situation and sometimes exemptions may apply. The City of Salem
Department of Planning and Community Development will work with CPA awardees to ensure
the proper method of procurement is undertaken.
For the purposes of describing the applicability of procurement laws to CPA projects, there are
three main categories that CPA projects could fall into: capital improvement projects,the purchase
of real property, and contracting for professional services. Each of these three project categories
must adhere to different procurement laws as explained in more detail below.
Capital Improvement Projects (MGL c.149 and c.30 s.39M)
Capital improvement projects are "brick and mortar" projects such as creation of a new
playground, restoration of a building, construction of housing, wetlands restoration, etc. The
matrix below very generally describes how the procurement laws may apply to the various types
of capital improvement projects, depending on who owns the property and who administers the
project.

leased by private entity
*Note: Even if a service is discounted or donated, prevailing wage may still apply.
**Note: For complex situations, an opinion from municipal counsel or the Attorney General's
Office may be needed.
Acquisition of Real Property(MGL c.30B)
Acquisition of real property includes buying land,buildings,artifacts or a real estate interest(such
as a deed restriction). The purchasing laws (c.30B)that apply to acquisition of real property using
public funds deal with how to establish fair market value. This area of the law makes a special
exception specifically for real property acquired with Community Preservation Act funds. The
Community Preservation Act(MGL c.44B s.5(f)) states that "Section 16 of chapter 30B shall not
apply to the acquisition by a city or town of real property or an interest therein . . . no such real
property, or interest therein, shall be acquired. . .for a price exceeding the value of the property
as determined by such city or town through procedures customarily accepted by the appraising
profession as valid."The bottom line is: Acquisitions of real property interests under CPA are
exempt from MGL c.30B, but you must get an appraisal prior to acquiring any real property
interest.And the municipality cannot appropriate more than the appraised value to acquire the real
property interest.
Contracting Professional Services (MGL c.7 s.38A'/2 and c.30B)
Contracting professional services includes hiring a housing consultant, planner, appraiser,
landscape architect, etc. MGL c.7 s.38A%2 applies when procuring design services for public
building projects and establishes a designer selection process for construction projects over$100K.
Prevailing wage does not apply to these types of design services. MGL c.30B applies to other
professional services and establishes three monetary thresholds that trigger different selection and
procurement procedures, with the most latitude established for contract amounts under $5K. If a
contract is between $5K and 25K, then three quotes must be solicited. And, for contracts at and
over$25K, sealed bids or proposals are required.

B. Category Specific Information
1. Historic Preservation
As the state's second oldest city, the City of Salem's built environment reflects four centuries of
history with more than 12,500 housing units constructed prior to 1960. Our inventoried assets
represent the 3rd largest in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. More than 1,700 buildings are
listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Continuing maintenance of historic properties
requires substantial attention and resources, and both private owners and public institutions focus
considerable efforts in this direction. Many of these resources are essential to Salem residents'and
the region's economy and quality of life. Salem's historic resources include:
• Fine examples of over ten historic styles of American architecture, ranging from mid-17th
century through early 20th century;
• Arguably the finest collection of Federal Style and Federal Period architecture in the United
States
• The finest collection of Samuel McIntire designed properties in the United States (McIntire
Historic District Walking Trail).
• Some of the earliest established and best preserved urban parks in the nation;
• One of the few remaining colonial period wharves in the country;
• Many seventeenth and early eighteenth century structures from the Puritan and early maritime
periods;
• Four local historic districts (Derby Street, Lafayette Street, McIntire, and Washington
Square) encompassing approximately 550 17th, 18th, and early 191h century structures;
• A large early cotton textile factory, immigrant settlement houses and neighborhoods, and
leather industry archeological resources;
• Historic sites associated with the late 17a'century witchcraft trials; and
• Prehistoric Native American archaeological resources dating back approximately 4,000 years,
ranging from the Late Archaic through Early, Middle, and Late Woodland Periods to Contact
Period.
CPA funds may be spent on the acquisition,preservation,rehabilitation and restoration of historic
resources. For non-City property, projects will require the filing of a permanent Preservation
Restriction on the property at the Registry of Deeds that has been approved by Massachusetts
Historical Commission. Project proponents will be required to provide title information and a
metes and bounds legal description.
Communities using CPA funds on historic resources must adhere to the United States Secretary of
the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.
Section 2 of the CPA legislation defines historic resources,preservation and rehabilitation. Under
CPA, an historic resource is defined as a building, structure, vessel, real property, document or
artifact that is either:
• listed on the State Register of Historic Places; or
23
• determined by the local Historic Commission to be significant in the history, archeology,
architecture, or culture of the city or town.
The State Register of Historic Places is a listing of buildings, structures,objects and sites that have
received local, state or national designations based on historical or archaeological significance.
Included are all properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places and all local historic
districts. To determine if a property is listed on the State Register, you can research one or more
of the following:
• Massachusetts Cultural Resource Information System(MACRIS) -http://mhc-macris.net/

2. Community Housing
Salem is a vibrant city with a complex history. As the city continues to evolve, it undergoes
changes that increase its diversity and wealth, but also present challenges. The cost of housing
and the shortage of available affordable housing for low- and extremely low-income households
represent one of Salem's greatest needs. Salem's population is 46.2 percent low- to moderate-
income persons. In February,2019,the MA Department of Housing&Community Development
calculated Salem's Chapter 40B subsidized housing inventory at 13.24%.
According to the City of Salem's S-Year Consolidated Plan completed in May, 2015, Salem is
home to over 41,000 residents and is one of the more diverse communities on the North Shore in
terms of ethnicity and race; the proportion of minority residents being slightly higher than Essex
County or Massachusetts overall. Household incomes have fluctuated over the past five years;
the median household income according to the 2009-2013 ACS was $64,214, compared with an
estimated median of $61,906 in 2006-2008. Nearly half of Salem's households have incomes
below 80% of the HUD Area Median Family Income for the Greater Boston/North Shore area,
which was approximately $90,000 in the 2007-2011 ACS. One in five households earn less than
30% of the median, while an additional 14% earn between 30% and 50% of median income.
Seniors fall disproportionately into these lower income brackets; for those aged 75 and over, 35%
and 31% of households fall within these two income brackets, respectively. The cost of housing
has a significant impact on Salem's lower income population. Renters bear the greatest burden;
nearly two thousand households pay more than half of their income on rent,while a similar number
spend between 30% and 50% of their income on housing costs. The study calculated Salem's
affordable housing unit need at 480 units.
According to the Salem Housing Needs and Demand Analysis completed by the Metropolitan Area
Planning council in July, 2015, Salem offers a range of housing opportunities from large,
multi-family communities to historic, single-family homes. Although significant gains have been
made to improve the affordability of housing, Salem still faces several challenges. Creating
homes for the next generation of workers while also addressing the complex needs of an aging
and increasingly diverse population is one of those challenges. Though Salem saw only modest
population gains over the past decade,the community is growing more diverse. Salem's affordable
and historic homes, combined with its access to commuter rail and the region's job centers have
attracted young, diverse workers and families in the region,which is evidenced by its high rate of
non-family households and low average age. Should Salem continue to retain and attract young
workers,the city's population is projected to increase by 4%-9%from 2010 to 2030 and the number
of households is projected to increase by 10-14% during that same period. Salem is expected to
see significant increases in housing demand over the coming decade. To continue to retain and
attract more workers to fill labor gaps left by retiring baby boomers, Salem should continue to
maintain its high stock of multifamily housing. Although Salem ranks high in rates of poverty and
cost-burden status, its proximity to transit and lower median gross rent prices help to defray costs.
Salem's relatively count of subsidized housing inventory surpasses the Commonwealth's 10%
affordable housing target, however, many units have expiring deed restrictions which will situate
Salem below 10% affordability.
Section 2 of CPA legislation defines community housing. The United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development(HUD) income guidelines are used to determine who is eligible
to live in the affordable housing units developed by communities with their CPA funds. Housing
developed with CPA funds may be offered to those persons and families whose annual income is
25
less than 100 percent of the area wide median income,as determined by HUD. Please note,though,
that communities may choose to limit certain housing units created with CPA funds to those
persons and families earning less than 80 percent of the area wide median income annually, as
determined by HUD. This allows communities to include these units on their Subsidized Housing
Inventory(SHI)with the state. Projects will require the filing of a permanent Affordable Housing
Restriction on the property at the Registry of Deeds that has been approved by the MA Department
of Housing and Community Development.
CPA funds may be spent on the acquisition, creation, preservation and support of community
housing, and for the rehabilitation or restoration of community housing that has been acquired or
created using CPA funds. The CPA requires that whenever possible, preference be given to the
adaptive reuse of existing buildings or construction of new buildings on previously developed
sites. Use of CPA funds will require that the Property enter into an affordable housing restriction
for a minimum of 30 years (if CPA funds are used for acquisition, a permanent restriction).
Restrictions shall be for those persons and families whose annual income is less than 80 per cent
of the area-wide median income. The area-wide median income shall be the area-wide median
income as determined by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
3. Open Space
Section 2 of the CPA legislation defines open space.It includes,but is not limited to,the following:
■ Land to protect existing and future well fields
■ Aquifers,recharge areas, and watershed land
■ Agricultural land
■ Grasslands, fields and forest land
■ Fresh and salt water marshes and other wetlands
■ Ocean, river, stream, lake and pond frontage
■ Beaches, dunes, and other coastal lands
■ Lands to protect scenic vistas
■ Land for wildlife or nature preserve
■ Land for recreational use (see separate category information,below)
CPA funds may be spent on the acquisition, creation, and preservation of open space, and for the
rehabilitation or restoration of any open space that has been acquired or created using CPA funds.
It is important to note that a permanent deed restriction is required for all real property
interests acquired under CPA. This restriction must be filed at the Registry of Deeds as a separate
instrument, such as a Conservation Restriction (CR) or Agricultural Preservation Restriction
(APR), and until this step has been completed, the terms of the CPA acquisition have not been
technically fulfilled.
For non-City property, projects will also require the filing of a permanent restriction on the
property at the Registry of Deeds that has been approved by the Executive Office of Energy and
Environmental Affairs.Project proponents will be required to provide title information and a metes
and bounds legal description.

4. Recreation
Section 2 of the CPA legislation also defines recreational use. The focus for CPA recreational
projects is on outdoor passive or active recreation, such as(but not limited to)the use of land for:
• Community gardens
• Trails
• Noncommercial youth and adult sports
• Parks,playgrounds or athletic fields
CPA funds may not be spent on ordinary maintenance or annual operating expenses; only capital
improvements are allowed. In addition, CPA funds may not be used for horse or dog racing
facilities, or for a stadium, gymnasium, or similar structure. This prohibition has generally been
interpreted to mean that CPA funds may be used only for outdoor, land-based recreational uses
and facilities.
CPA funds may be used for the acquisition of land to be used for recreation, or for the creation of
new recreational facilities on land a community already owns. A 2012 amendment to CPA
broadened the law to also allow for the rehabilitation of existing, outdoor recreational facilities.
The amendment made it clear that with respect to land for recreational use, "rehabilitation" could
include the replacement of playground equipment and other capital improvements to the land or
the facilities thereon to make them more functional for their intended recreational use.
Another change ushered in by the 2012 amendment was a prohibition on the use of CPA funds for
the acquisition of artificial turf for athletic fields. Communities may still use their CPA funds for
other aspects of a field project, but must appropriate non-CPA funds to acquire the artificial turf
surface.
Non-city projects will require the filing of a permanent restriction on the property at the Registry
of Deeds.

5. Forest River Pool,Bathhouse and Associated Facilities Feasibility Study(2018)
The feasibility study evaluated the existing conditions of the pool and bathhouse and developed
a program for a preferred option(of 3 sites studied),initial cost, and a schematic layout for the
proposed facility.
A pool evaluation by Weston & Sampson in 2017 determined that the existing pool can no
longer be upgraded to meet current codes and is losing water continually. It has a large surface
area with a lot of inefficient or under-utilized water surface. The bathhouse building is
exhibiting signs of deterioration and as configured does not meet the needs of a modern
bathhouse. Therefore, the existing pool and bathhouse have been closed due to the complete
failure of the pool filtration equipment and deteriorated conditions of the bathhouse.The pool's
physical condition, increasingly difficult maintenance, and non-code compliant features
warrant the construction of a new swimming pool.
The reconstruction and renovation of the Forest River Pool facility will provide a unique
opportunity to bring together the community in a dramatic setting while creating innovative
solutions for a modern facility that preserves the character of the park. The project will focus
on the following aspects:1. Sustainability Design—Net Zero or LEED 2. Resiliency—Move
the program and new infrastructure further upland 3. Education — The new pool will
incorporate opportunities for education, including coastal wetlands, history, and other topics
4. Accessibility — Universal Design for pools and bathhouse 5. Historic Preservation — The
new pool will restore and modernize an existing historic resource 6. Increase Usability—The
program and design will allow for usage throughout the year,particularly Spring and Fall.New
pools will provide more usable water at appropriate depths than existing pool 7. Long term
Operations and Maintenance—Considerations of O&M will be part of the process.
The consultant recommends two swimming pools to segregate pool programming and use;and
allow use of one pool in the event that the other pool is taken out of service for cleaning. They
also recommend constructing the pool at an elevation even with the bathhouse structure. This
provides easy access for individuals with disabilities and eliminates the potential for flooding
and damage by tidal surges and groundwater.
6. Salem Bicycle Master Plan (2018)
With over 100 infrastructure and policy projects identified,this Plan is a blueprint for creating
a citywide environment that is safe and comfortable for people biking, regardless of their age
or ability level. These changes hold the potential to transform daily transportation in Salem.
With ever-growing traffic congestion and gridlock wearing on quality of life and the
environment in Salem, one thing is certain: we cannot build our way out of traffic with car-
focused streets. Through a well-connected network of high-quality bike infrastructure and
supportive policies and programs, Salem will offer biking as a safe and convenient
transportation option,making it easier and more appealing for large numbers of people to leave
their car keys at home.The vision guiding this plan is based on five big ideas,identified below:
i. Neighborhoods will connect to each other and downtown with comfortable bikeways along
key arterials, including:
• North Street
• Bridge Street
• Boston Street
• Lafayette Avenue
32
• Derby Street
• Highland Avenue
• Loring Avenue
ii. The Salem Commuter Rail Station will be accessible via comfortable bike infrastructure
from all approaches.
iii. Salem will connect to Beverly,Marblehead, Lynn, and Peabody with on and off-street
bikeable connections.
iv. Recreational trails and parks will be easy to reach by bike for people of all ages, abilities,
and backgrounds.
v. Processes,regulations,and programming will embed biking into the daily decision making
of City staff and officials.
7. Imazine Salem Report(2018)
A vision for Salem in 2026, its guiding principles focus on community,housing,employment,
transportation and education. The following are the guiding principles for housing:
• Market rate housing should be affordable to people earning average wages.
• Housing for lower income households requires special accommodation to produce.
• Housing should be safe, healthy, and resilient.
• Housing designs must meet the varied needs of diverse residents, and there should be real
housing choices for all.
• Housing should be part of a complete neighborhood.
8. Camp Naumkeaje Master Plan (2017)
The primary goals of the design for the relocated Pioneer Village include:
• Maintaining the 4 cottages in a row to maintain the existing site line from how
they are situated on their current site
• Site the main garden in front of the Governor's House
• Provide a visual buffer of the Village elements from the road
Other desirable amenities include:
• Visitors center—with an historic appearance
• A caretaker's space, ideally within and on the second floor of a visitors' center
• Barn adjacent to the visitor's center
• An area for goats, sheep or turkeys
• A visual buffer in the center of the site
• Incorporate a gravel/pervious parking surface
• Create rain garden for storm water—incorporate cattails/ornamental grasses to
also serve as visual buffer
• Winding entrance path into site so as not to see the entire site from the entrance
• Move maintenance building to near property line—this will buffer the adjacent
house from the site maintenance road.
• Maintain existing tree at northwest corner of proposed garden
• Provide for emergency vehicle access
• Internal access road to be pervious—stone dust/gravel
• Move blacksmith shop to the existing cleared area on the adjacent City-owned
property to the northwest

• Include lighting within the parking area
• Include a bike rack
9. Salem For All Ages:An aw-friendly action plan—November, 2016
In order for adults to remain living in their communities as they age,housing must be
available, affordable, and designed to accommodate a range of physical abilities. Moreover,
homeowners must be able to adequately maintain and repair their homes in order to stay in
them safely. We envision a city that provides a continuum of safe, affordable and healthy
housing options that provide the services and accessible design necessary to allow residents,
regardless of income or housing type,to age in place. Excerpts of Recommendations&Action
Steps:
Create supports to assist seniors with the maintenance of their homes to enable aging in
place
• In order to streamline the permitting process for home modifications needed by
seniors, create a separate"express permit line"for home modification permits.
• Generate a Master Plan for the maintenance of all Salem Housing Authority operated
As a vision for the future of an Age-Friendly Salem,creating more opportunities for seniors to
engage in activities in outdoor spaces and parks as well as improving accessibility to public
buildings are goals of the Salem for All Ages initiative. Excerpts of Recommendations &
Action Steps:
Implement the 10-year parks and recreation master plan as well as monitor this process
to ensure features and programming meet the needs of seniors in Salem
• Determine ways in which beaches and waterfront amenities can be made more accessible
to older adults and persons with mobility limitations or for those who use assistive devices
like walkers or wheelchairs. For example, create a publicly available beach wheel chair
loan program or devise a beach access system that includes paved ramps with railings.
• Encourage the installation of public exercise equipment in Salem parks
10.Preservation Master Plan Update(2015)

11.Parks Master Planning and Needs Assessment Report(2015)
The focus of the master plan effort was the development of a parks inventory and assessment
of parks recreation facilities and athletic facilities throughout the city. The scope of this study
includes evaluations, assessments and master planning for all of the city playgrounds, parks,
athletic fields,hard court facilities, school yards, and similar types of recreation facilities. The
four report volumes inventory and evaluate city parks, how they are used and how they are
maintained. From that analysis they suggest that the city consider four general goals for
improving the serviceability of its parks,increasing their usage and enhancing the image of the
city of Salem:
Maintain: Consider the maintenance requirements of the parks and fund maintenance programs
accordingly. As with every municipality, economic pressures directly affect the quality of
facilities available to the public.Parks and public works staff frequently live in an environment
where resources are limited, and where no amount of creativity or ingenuity can make up for
too few resources. The City should consider expanding a few key staff resources to eliminate
the use of various vendors that are currently hired for maintenance work. Some staff
expansions that could be considered would include dedicated, specialized crews — a city tree
crew, a city turf grass crew and a floating general maintenance crew.
35
Arrange: Park uses can be re-arranged between city parks to make the best use of resources,
prevent scattering maintenance tasks through the city and concentrate certain uses in the
centralized areas,which best exploit adjacent infrastructure. Tennis facilities should be limited
to only a few locations in the city, and the amount of courts at those venues increased to allow
tennis instruction, coaching and programs. Consideration of a similar consolidation of some
basketball courts may also be appropriate. Strong consideration should also be given to moving
school uses onto campus or to adjacent properties, reducing busing costs, increasing field
availability to schools and freeing up needed space at city parks.
Improve: The facilities at some city parks are outdated,undersized or under maintained. As a
result,these facilities are also under-utilized. Improving the conditions at city parks will attract
use and users (and increase maintenance needs). Accessible pathways and walking loops were
a strong need according to the on-line survey. Providing appropriate lighting is one
improvement that should be considered that allows safe use after dark,when people are home
from work and using city parks. This report has documented the need to improve athletic
facilities and play areas at city parks. This report also asks the city to consider improvements
to certain parks in order to improve `walkability', safety and access.
Expand: Growth is an important aspect of any economy, even the economy of recreation. The
growth of city parks is a reflection of the image and prosperity of a city. Walkable cities with
linkages to public transportation are known to attract young active residents. City staff should
remain aware of key opportunities to add the cities inventory of parks, and should be allowed
to advocate for their purchase. Important areas of expansion in Salem include any linkages and
expansion between downtown and the city's historic waterfront, dedicated bike paths,
especially those that provide a 2 or 3 mile walking loop, opportunities for new parks in West
Salem and opportunities to add full size multipurpose rectangular athletic fields to the cities
inventory.

13.Salem Housinm Needs and Demand Analysis—July,2015
This report provides an overview of the current demographics of Salem, the existing housing
stock, projected changes in housing demand over the coming decades, and the types of new
housing that are needed to meet that need. Many portions of this analysis make reference to or
include MAPC projections data. These projections include two scenarios for regional growth.
Each scenario reflects different assumptions about key trends. The "Status Quo' scenario is
based on the continuation of existing rates of births,deaths,migration,and housing occupancy.
Alternatively, the "Stronger Region" scenario explores how changing trends could result in
higher population growth, greater housing demand, and a substantially larger workforce.
Projected Development Demand:
MAPC projects that the current population of Salem, 41,320 people, could grow by 2,348 to
5,559 by 2030. At the same,time,household size has been on the decline, from an average of
2.24persons per household in 2000 to 2.22 persons per household in 2010. Under the Status
Quo scenario, MAPC projects that the number of households will increase by 1,800 (10%)by
2030. Under the Stronger Region scenario, it is projected that the number of households will
increase by 2,600 or 15%.
By 2020, Salem will need from 720 — 1,200 multi-family units and 210 — 260 single family
units to keep pace with population growth and smaller households.
In total,by 2030,assuming the Status Quo scenario, Salem will need to produce a total of 1,900
units of housing to meet demand. However, according to the Stronger Region scenario 2,725
units (approximately 140 units annually)will be needed to meet demand.
39
Housing Affordability:
The intersection of demand (people) and supply (housing), as well as policy and planning
priorities, helps determine housing affordability in a given community. One measure of
affordable housing need is the number of households eligible for public housing assistance or
housing subsidies. Under M.G.L. Chapter 40B, affordable housing units are defined as
housing that is developed or operated by a public or private entity and reserved by deed
restriction for income-eligible households earning at or below 80%of the area median income,
which is $98,500 for the Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, MA-NH HUD Metro Fair Market Rent
Area.Additionally, all marketing and placement efforts for income-eligible households follow
Affirmative Fair Housing and Marketing Plan guidelines per the Massachusetts Department of
Housing and Community Development (DHCD). Housing that meets these requirements, as
well as some market rate units that are in developments that include affordable housing,qualify
for the Subsidized Housing Inventory (SHI). Chapter 40B allows developers of low-and
moderate-income housing to obtain a comprehensive permit to override local zoning and other
restrictions if less than 10%of a community's year-round housing inventory is included on the
SHI. A municipality's SHI fluctuates with new development of both affordable and market-
rate housing. The percentage is determined by dividing the number of affordable units by the
total number of year-round housing units according to the most recent decennial Census. As
the denominator increases, or if affordable units are lost, more affordable units must be
produced to reach, maintain, or exceed the 10% threshold. Salem has reached that threshold.
As of June 2015, 2,466 out of 18,998 units, or 13.0%, were included on the SHI. However,
over the next five years, the city stands to lose up to 904 of these affordable units due to
expiring deed-restrictions. If 904 units on the SHI were to expire, Salem would have a total of
1,562 units remaining on the inventory. The city's current 10% goal is 1,899 based upon the
2010 Total Year-Round Housing Units number. If the city achieves the projected 2020 housing
unit total of 20,400 units(described earlier in this analysis),then a total of 2,042 SHI-qualifying
units would be needed to meet the 10% target. If the 904 expiring units were lost from the
current inventory, then the city would need to replace them with 480 additional SHI units by
2020. MAPC recognizes that this does not take into consideration potential forthcoming
developments which may include affordable housing units nor does it include any potential
efforts to preserve those units which are projected to expire by 2020
14. City of Salem Five-Year Consolidated Plan—May 2015
This plan is created as part of the requirements to receive federal funds for housing and
community development activities, through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development(HUD). It includes a housing market analysis(including existing public and
subsidized housing), as well as a housing and community development needs assessment.

15.Salem Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment&Action Plan —December, 2014
Flooding currently occurs in the historic areas of Willows near Fort Lee,Emerton and Forester
Streets, Derby Wharf/Maritime Historic Site, and Bridge Street. Flooding from storm surge
may flood these areas more severely and frequently and may flood additional historically or
culturally significant properties in the future. These are important assets for economic
development and tourism
APPLICABLE ADAPTATION STRATEGIES:
• Evaluation of buildings for flood proofing opportunities.Evaluating the utilities and critical
operations in the building is key to determining if they are at risk for flooding. An
evaluation may include: assessing the building strength to determine if it may withstand
flooding-forces; Understanding the likely flooding characteristics, such as the length of
time a building is expected to flood; Determining the building location within established
or future flooding areas;Operational and maintenance initiatives that would to ensure flood
proofing options are kept in working order.
• Re-site existing facilities outside future flooding levels, especially small structures or
historic properties.By relocating properties into future non-flood areas,the City may avoid
the extreme alterations required to protect the structure, risking loss of significant historic
character. This strategy is to be considered for smaller structures due to the significant
constraints and engineering considerations necessary to move a structure.
• Elevate a building's critical uses within the building. In existing buildings, utility
equipment that is critical for functionality may be relocated to higher floors or elevated
additions.Most building systems may be divided into two components: 1)main equipment
and 2)distribution. One strategy is to strap or bolt equipment so it is designed to withstand
wind and other forces. Elevating supporting distribution systems (ducts, supply lines, and
piping)within the facilities may also help prevent flooding.
• Flood proof buildings to protect the existing buildings, critical systems and equipment.
There are two techniques for flood proofing a building:"dry flood proofing"and"wet flood
proofing"."Dry flood proofing"is applied to building entrances,windows and surrounding
equipment rooms located within the flood prone area to ensure the area remains watertight.
"Wet flood proofing" is another method were water is allowed to enter into the structure
intentionally,but remains structurally sound and repairs are relatively easy to make.
16.Salem Public Art Master Plan -September, 2013
The Public Art Master Plan outlines a wealth of exciting, innovative and community-building
public art projects. Some of these opportunities are related to proposed construction projects
in the Capital Improvement Plan. Many others address existing places. Public art can bring
vibrancy to key civic places throughout Salem,including gateways,squares and historic walks
that help to tie different areas together.
17. Vision and Action Plan for the Point Neighborhood in Salem 2013-2020—August 2013
The Salem Point Neighborhood Vision contains some actions that would potentially qualify
for CPA funding.
42
Environment, Open Space, and Recreation
One goal is to make improvements that enhance the quality of public spaces, parks, and
playgrounds in the Point— enhancing the resources that already exist so people who live and
play in the Point can fully enjoy these resources, and supporting the creation of more
opportunities for people of all ages to engage in athletic, educational, and creative activities in
the neighborhood. Another goal is to explore opportunities for small and large-scale open
space, natural resource, and recreation improvements. Examples that meet this goal include:
• Improve parks, open spaces, natural resources by making small and large improvements
• Continue to implement the Open Space and Recreation Plan actions in the Point
• Undertake improvements identified through the vision and action planning process
• Develop a revitalization plan for Mary Jane Lee Park
• Develop a revitalization plan for Palmer Cove Park
• Undertake improvements to Lafayette Park
• Revitalize 38 Palmer Street lot
• Improve neighborhood access to the waterfront behind Shetland Park
• Fix benches, replace sand in parks and plant trees in strategic areas
Housing and Economic Development
Goals include enforcing regulations pertaining to housing quality and public health,connecting
residents with existing housing resources, and helping secure new resources that will improve
the diversity and quality of housing available for rent and for ownership in the Point. Examples
that meet this goal include:
• Support development that includes a mix of housing,business,and offices uses in the Point
and housing that is affordable to different incomes.
• Work with public and private developers to promote property reuse and redevelopment that
is consistent with goals to provide affordable housing to people of different incomes and with
respect to historic assets.
• Identify,purchase, and rehabilitate critical,blighted properties.
• Improve historic building facades.
• Encourage and advocate that new developments in other parts of the City of Salem include
on-site affordable housing units to off-set the disproportionate presence of affordable housing
in the Point neighborhood while still meeting the housing needs of the community.

health, safety, general welfare and amenity of the City and its people,by preserving and
enhancing the following:
• a range of compatible uses, each well suited to its location;
• a diverse and consistently high quality architectural character expressing a range of periods
and respecting the integrity of both historic and contemporary styles while avoiding derivative
design;
• urban forms that respect the patterns of blocks, sidewalks, streets and open spaces that
distinguish the compact, historic character of the area including the orientation of building
frontages toward streets and public open spaces,varied scales among closely-spaced buildings,
and the integration of off-street parking, if required, and vehicle access to substantially limit
their visual impact from public vantage points;
• a complete network of active and vital sidewalks and pedestrian-oriented spaces activated
by the entrances and uses along the ground floors of the buildings and through the interaction
among the compatible designs of sites,buildings, landscapes and streetscapes.
• To develop and apply urban design criteria, standards and guidelines to the Project Area
that will create a central city urban environment. The design criteria are sympathetic to and
conducive of the preservation and enhancement of historic and architectural values and to the
construction of new buildings and facilities compatible with the preservation and enhancement
of such values. The design criteria shall be consistent with the needs of the City and its people
for new and expanded residential and non-residential opportunities, services, facilities and
amenities.

Area and for the principal transportation and land use corridors that lead to and from the
Downtown. The purpose of these activities is to encourage public actions that will reinforce
the edges, approaches and gateways to the Downtown and promote the other purposes of this
Plan.
20. Salem Bridge Street Neck Neighborhood Revitalization Plan—August 2009
Objectives:
• Act to support neighborhood development and village style housing.
• Support and enhance commercial retention and development opportunities.
• Maintain and improve the area's pedestrian environment.
44
One key goal of the Plan is to recommend physical improvements that will enhance the overall
quality of living in the neighborhood. One of the neighborhood's unique selling points is the
opportunity to find reasonably priced historic homes in need of renovation, thus contributing
to preserve and enhance the neighborhood's historic character. This is particularly noticeable
in the southern portion of the neighborhood, which is closer to the MBTA station and
Downtown Salem.
Strategies in the plan include:
• Enhance amenities to attract visitors to the Bridge Street Neck area, such as enhancing
waterfront access and activities, including provisions for transient boat access.
• Expand and improve open space connections and amenities along the water and through
new development.
• Extend pedestrian and bicycle access along the waterfront and through new development
Example Actions:
• Undertake feasibility study for enhanced waterfront access and recreational programming
• Undertake feasibility study for boat access
• Seek opportunities to generate a network of interconnected bike paths/shared paths,
building upon the planned extension of the bike path along Route 1 A Initiate feasibility studies
to provide for public use and access where there are opportunities associated with zoning,
Chapter 91 regulations or other methods
• Study feasibility to extend the existing bicycle path from Webb Street north to Collins Cove
Park, and to the planned park and open space at the end of Bridge Street
• Improve signage and markings for the dedicated pedestrian and bicycle paths
21.Neighborhood Preservation District Study-September, 2008
The major purpose of the current study was to research the concept of Neighborhood
Preservation Districts (NPD) and ways that it might best fit Salem's situation,prepare a draft
ordinance and draft design guidelines for two neighborhoods, and create educational materials
for the public. The study and its final products and recommendations relied heavily on public
input, gained through a series of neighborhood meetings, stakeholder interviews, dedicated
page on the City's website, and other means. The study provides recommendations that will
help the City of Salem and individual neighborhoods determine if a NPD program is right for
the city's neighborhoods and can function alongside the Local Historic District(LHD)program
already in place. The final products included criteria for district designation,recommendations
on areas for NPDs, sample design guidelines and boundaries for Bridge Street and Point
neighborhoods and a draft NPD ordinance.
22.Salem Harbor Plan —January, 2008

23. Old Town Hall Buildin,-Condition Assessment-May, 2007
Old Town Hall is the earliest surviving municipal structure in Salem, Massachusetts (dating
from 1816) and an outstanding Federal Style building. The second floor of the building, the
Great Hall, has always been used as a public space and contained Town offices until 1837.
The first floor was originally designed as a public market. An existing conditions analysis and
structure conditions analysis were done in 2007 identifying critical needs of this historic
structure. Since 2008, Gordon College has managed Old Town Hall on behalf of the City of
Salem, and in doing so has maintained the building as a public venue that hosts a variety of
events. Gordon College in cooperation with the City has addressed several maintenance and
repair issues at Old Town Hall over the years as part of the goal to preserve this historic
building and keep it operational. Numerous needs have not yet been addressed given the cost
and scope of work to be done.

Secretary's Standards for Rehabilitation
The Standards (Department of Interior regulations, 36 CFR 67)pertain to historic buildings of all materials,
construction types, sizes, and occupancy and encompass the exterior and the interior,related landscape features
and the building's site and environment as well as attached, adjacent, or related new construction. The
Standards are to be applied to specific rehabilitation projects in a reasonable manner,taking into consideration
economic and technical feasibility.
1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to
the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment.
2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or
alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided.
3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time,place, and use. Changes that create a false
sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other
buildings, shall not be undertaken.
4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right
shall be retained and preserved.
5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a
historic property shall be preserved.
6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration
requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture,
and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be
substantiated by documentary,physical, or pictorial evidence.
7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be
used.The surface cleaning of structures,if appropriate,shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible.
8. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If such resources
must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken.
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that
characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the
massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its
environment.
10.New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed
in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be
unimpaired.

Application Information
GENERAL:
• If the proposal involves City-owned land or structures, either the applicant or the co-applicant must be a City
agency/department.
• Applicants must review the Community Preservation Plan, including the Evaluation Criteria and all materials in this Funding
Application packet. Review of the CPA legislation is recommended.
• All proposals must be submitted using the application forms contained herein (Application Cover Page,Application
Checklist, Budget Summary)along with the required narratives and attachments.
• Applications may be accepted at any time. However, the CPC will announce one annual cutoff date to ensure funding
consideration for that funding round. Applications received after the deadline may be held until the next funding round.
• If submitting multiple applications, the applicant may indicate if one application is preferred over another.
• During the funding round review, the CPC may request additional information from the applicant.
• Supplanting is not permitted. CPA funds cannot be used to reimburse funds paid from other sources.
• Implementing cost-saving measures and leveraging other funding or in-kind donations is encouraged.
• Other permitting: Projects must conform to the zoning regulations of the City of Salem, as applicable. Projects must have
Board of Appeals, Conservation Commission, Salem Historical Commission, Planning Board, Salem Redevelopment
Authority and/or Park& Recreation Committee approval, as applicable. Projects must have a building permit before
proceeding, as applicable.
• Non-city applicants must be in good standing with all real estate taxes and water/sewer fees.
• For acquisition of an interest in real estate, property value will need to be established through procedures"customarily
accepted by the appraising profession as valid".Applicants for acquisition projects are encouraged to include an appraisal

award. Please include an estimate of the number of acres to be acquired.
• Non-city property will require the filing of a permanent restriction at the Registry of Deeds to ensure that the property
continues to be used for the applicable CPA purpose. Restrictions are legal documents that place limitations on the use
of a property.These restrictions apply to all future owners of the property, and can't easily be changed or removed by
subsequent owners. The restriction will be held by the City of Salem in order to facilitate enforcement of the conditions.
These are the four types of restrictions that are commonly used in CPA projects:
o For Open Space Conservation and Outdoor Recreation Projects, the Conservation restriction will be approved by the MA
Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EOEEA)
o For Community Housing Projects the Affordable Housing Restrictions will be approved by the MA Dept. of Housing and
Community Development(DHCD)
