The final 1 of 2 MBTA Communities Public Hearings is taking place tonight Monday, September 16, 2024 in the Select Board meeting room at 7PM. There is an additional one slated for Thursday, September 19th if CPDC continues the meeting beyond tonightโs discussion. Both will be broadcast on RCTV as well as the Zoom via the links below. We have also included links below to the previous recorded videos from various forums (now outdated but relevant) as well as a link to the two proposed maps for this meeting.
Purpose: to review the proposed zoning bylaw amendments in advance of November Town Meeting. These hearings will review the bylaw text for the proposed MBTA Communities district, including multi-family housing uses and controls, and business uses and controls. Changes may include amending the existing zoning district boundaries or creating new zoning districts and amending applicable sections. See Agenda Here.
