To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning Bylaw so developments of 100% affordable housing may be built by right in all zones, with lower requirements as well; or take any action related thereto.

(Inserted at the request of Thomas J. Perkins and ten registered voters)

The petitioner requested to withdraw the proposal via email to Department of Planning and Community Development (DPCD) staff on March 21, 2023. As such, the ARB did not discuss this article except to agree that although the petitioner’s enthusiasm, time dedicated to the development of a draft motion, and his overall support for the production of affordable housing was appreciated, the proposal had significant flaws as presented and that they should recommend No Action on the warrant article. The Board encouraged the petitioner to seek opportunities to collaborate within the public process of the ARB, the DPCD, and associated committees to advance work on similar proposals that may be going forward to later Town Meetings

VOTED: No Action (4/0)
