The proposed zone change would have supported a residential care home or other residential development, but the board recommended against it after concerns about traffic, septic systems, neighborhood character, and the lack of a specific development plan. The board unanimously approved site plans for 233 Main Street and 195 South Westfield Street, with maintenance and outdoor-storage conditions. It also tabled the 73 Garden Street site plan until June 18, 2026, and approved three additional lots at 130 South Westfield Street.
