The meeting also features a public hearing on proposed zoning amendments for the Fall 2026 Town Meeting, which include technical corrections, changes to use tables for semi-detached dwellings, updates regarding the Affordable Homes Act, and the expansion of the Mixed Residential and Commercial Overlay District.
