Summary
The Planning Board has been looking at the Village Business (VB) zoning districts in Brewster to determine if they are in the
appropriate areas and if existing zones could benefit from reworking. Upon reviewing this area, and the nature of businesses on each
side of Main Street, and after hearing from local businesses in this area, the Board opted to propose rezoning of a portion of the
existing VB district (the north side) to CH (Commercial High Density) to more closely resemble the mix of uses existing on the north
side of Main Street. A version of this article was proposed at the 2014 Annual Town Meeting, but was denied by the Attorney General
for a process issue associated with the rescheduling of a public hearing following a weather postponement. This version has added
one of the houses on Southern Eagle Cartway and the remainder of the Animal Rescue League property to the proposed CH district
and the remaining house on Southern Eagle Cartway to the existing RM zone to the north.
A copy of the proposed amendment and associated map is available at the Planning Department Office or Town
Clerk's Office in Town Hall or on the Town of Brewster Web site,www.brewster-ma.gov
