The rezoning changes how the 3.6-acre portion of 656 Oxford Road may be used under Oxford’s zoning map. The excavation waiver allows the project to seek excavation or removal within 50 feet of property lines, while the proposed regulation change itself was not adopted. Routine accessory dwelling unit applications will now be reviewed by the Zoning Enforcement Office, with unusual cases sent to the Commission.
