This item concerns a proposed land use change that requires a positive finding from the Planning Board for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and/or rezoning request. The Planning Board must review four specific criteria before recommending approval. If approved, new development built over existing impervious surfaces may receive credit for that area, but building in a different location or exceeding those areas will require meeting the city's stormwater requirements. This process is currently under review. The project could involve site preparation, grading, and stormwater management systems, followed by construction and final landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this item as it moves through the review process, as early engagement could provide an advantage before site plans, bids, and permits are finalized.
