Cambridge Parcels with less than 20 ft frontage

This map reflects an attempt to find land parcels in Cambridge with less than 20’ road frontage. It is not entirely accurate; in particular it includes several parcels with more than 20’ frontage and it may omit some parcels with less than 20’ frontage. The map shows 655 parcels.

Methodology:

• The Cambridge GIS roads and sidewalks layers were combined and buffered by 10 feet.
• The Cambridge 2015 parcel layer was split into individual segments.
• Parcel segments fully contained within the road & sidewalk buffer were considered frontage segments.
• The frontage segment lengths for each map-lot were added to get the total frontage for each lot.
• Property type was determined from the 2015 assessor’s database.

Townhouses and row houses are excluded because they are exempt from the frontage requirement.

All property types are included; the breakdown is
