ReZoning Recommendations for Retail Uses and Home Occupations

Following from the September 30, 2020 meeting of the Economic Development and University Relations Committee, CDD staff in consultation with the Law Department have prepared the following materials for consideration if the City Council chooses to refer this language in the form of zoning petitions for hearing and report by the Planning Board and Ordinance Committee:

  • Clean text versions of the potential zoning changes presented and discussed on September 30, 2020.
  • A set of additional amendments to other sections of the Zoning Ordinance that are intended to resolve potential conflicts or ambiguity that might be created if the retail use changes discussed on September 30, 2020 are referred. These changes are presented in “clean” and “markup” versions and could be included in a zoning petition at the Council’s discretion.

If the Council chooses to refer these changes as zoning petitions, it recommended that they be referred as separate petitions for Home Occupations and Retail Uses.
