Zoning Phase - November - January
The Planning Commission is currently working with Chris Sargent, their consultant, to revise the Commercial District zoning regulations. Chris joined the Planning Commission at their meeting on November 5th to discuss the details in the Commercial District Master Plan related to desired zoning changes and possible zoning approaches to address the desired changes.

A suggested approach is to implement Zoning similar to Westford's R5 zoning district, which considers the desired components in the context of a Planning and Design Standards score sheet and provides illustrations to guide the desired form of development.

The Project consultant developed a couple of documents for the Planning Commission review and discussion for their meeting on December 3. He asked for the PC and the Advisory Committee's feedback on his suggested approach. This approach is described in these documents:
The project consultant developed a draft of new Zoning Regulations for the Commercial district. The Planning Commission and the Advisory Committee reviewed and comment on the Draft during their December 17th meeting. These comments have been sent to their consultant for his review.
