The Board recommended changes to site plan review, including eliminating review for certain special permits, adding review for projects disturbing 75% of a lot, requiring recorded decisions, and allowing administrative review for some minor projects. It also recommended rezoning 230 North Street, the former North Fire Station site, from Official and Open Space to Business A to allow more potential uses. The Board withdrew the proposal to expand locations for brew pubs, breweries, wineries, and distilleries because of concerns about site constraints and the lack of current applications.
