The expansion was classified as an 'intermediate site plan review' rather than a full review due to its size, but it still impacts setbacks and parking availability. The applicant will now move to record the decision and pay a $5,898 mitigation fee.

Longer-form draft.
At the May 26 Danvers Planning Board meeting, several decisions were made that impact local business density and long-term housing strategy. First, the board approved design special permits and a waiver for outdoor amenity space for the 103 High Street (Daily Harvest) building expansion. While the project aims to replace storage lost in a recent fire, the discussion highlighted potential downsides. Board members noted that the current parking lot is already 'tight,' raising concerns about how further expansion and the use of non-conforming amenity spaces might affect parking and site density. Second, the board is nearing a final decision on the long-term Housing Production Plan. This plan has been under discussion for over a year and is expected to face a formal vote during the June meetings. Because this plan dictates long-term housing availability and zoning across Danvers, residents should stay informed on the final details before the vote occurs. Stay tuned for updates as these items move toward final implementation. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/danvers/planning-board/2026-05-26/ #MeetingWatch #DanversMA
