A community meeting was held September 12, 2024. One resident attended the meeting and asked about visibility of proposed future office uses from his home west of the site. No changes were made based on feedback.
The Land Use Board considered the proposed rezoning at its October 15, 2024, meeting. No member of the public spoke for or against the proposal. The Land Use Board unanimously recommended the rezoning, noting the history of the use on site without issues.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
