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 Clerks Office in Town Hall or on the Town of Brewster Web site,www.brewster-ma.gov Comments may be sent to brewplan @ brewster-ma.gov Topics the Chair did not reasonably anticipate Next Planning Board Meeting Date: 11/12/14 Name (print): Kelly Moore Date Posted/Revised: October 16, 2014/Revised October 16, 2014 *Any docun)ents related to agenda items are available for review in the Planning Office or the Town Clerks Office.Text&maps of by-law amendments are also available on the town web site.www.brewster-ma.gov. **Please note if weather or another circumstance forces cancellation of this meeting,it will be held on the following Wednesday,same location,same time.
