ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT / AFFORDABLE HOUSING OVERLAY DISTRICT

To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning Bylaw to establish an affordable housing overlay district to allow multi-family affordable housing as-of-right in any district except Industrial or Open Space; or take any action related thereto.

Inserted at the request of John L. Worden III and 10 registered voters

VOTE: No Action (4-0, Mr. Revilak abstained) 

DISCUSSION
The proponent of Article 44 did not submit any main motion language to the Board, so no specific amendments to the bylaw have been proposed.
The Board noted that this proposal is for an overlay district that rezones all the residential and business parcels in Arlington. The notice to property owners and abutters required under the Zoning Bylaw was not undertaken by the article proponent.

2/3 Vote Required

That no action be taken on Article 44.
