Self-storage is currently allowed only in Industrial zoning districts. If the recommended zoning change is adopted, projects in MU-1 districts could seek approval through the required special-permit process; the vote did not approve a specific facility. The Board also scheduled a February 2, 2026, hearing for a proposed spray booth and body shop at 127 Mechanic Street.
