Zoning Meeting - Feb 3, 2026
An applicant wants to build a four-unit condominium where only two units are allowed, sparking pushback from board members over the high number of variances requested. Neighbors and board members raised concerns about whether the project fits the neighborhood scale and whether economic hardship justifies bending zoning rules.

The board evaluated a zoning referral for an abandoned gas station site at 516 Pelham Road proposing four attached townhouses with seven requested variances, ultimately voting for a negative referral due to high density.
