Residents to get first look at land-use options for MBTA Law compliance
The first of three community workshops to discuss the town’s approach to expanding multifamily zoning will take place at Town Hall tonight from 7 to 9 p.m. and via Zoom.
Residents will have a chance to do a hands-on review of the town’s initial land-use plans in connection with the MBTA Communities Law at an event organized by the Housing Needham Working Group (HONE).
The session will begin with a brief presentation followed by “interactive exercises in which HONE members and Town staff will host stations specific to different districts being considered for the zoning changes with a focus on areas along the Highland Avenue and Chestnut Street corridors. The Town is seeking feedback on things such as height, density, lot coverage and preferences for mixed-use versus stand-alone housing.”
Pre-registration is required to receive a Zoom link. No registration is required to attend in person.
