Several members said they would not support the duplex language as written and one asked to withdraw it. The board agreed to retain the articles unchanged for the July 7 meeting with no decision on forwarding to town meeting.

All formal votes were unanimous. The only extended discussion was internal debate over whether to advance the duplex zoning change without further guardrails. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/falmouth/planning-board/2026-06-23/

Longer-form draft.
At its June 23 meeting the Falmouth Planning Board discussed three Fall 2026 zoning articles, including one that would allow duplexes by right in every residential and agricultural district. Staff cited the housing production plan; several board members questioned the lack of site plan review, potential neighborhood and infrastructure impacts, and consequences in agricultural zones. The board chose to keep the article as drafted for further discussion on July 7 rather than withdraw or revise it now. The same meeting included a continuance for a special permit at 28 Falmouth Heights Road that had been omitted from the published agenda in error. The board also directed staff to prepare a positive recommendation for the 348/350 Old Meeting House Road site plan, adding conditions for wheel stops and removal of gravel encroaching on conservation land. Items return July 7. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/falmouth/planning-board/2026-06-23/ #MeetingWatch #FalmouthMA
