The final MBTA Communities Public Hearing is taking place tonight Thursday, September 19, 2024 in the Select Board meeting room at 7PM. This is the last CPDC public hearing on MBTA Communities and next is their vote and subsequent Town Meeting vote in November. This meeting 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 We have also included links below to the previous recorded videos from various forums (now outdated but relevant) as well as a link to the two proposed maps for this meeting.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.
