The affordable housing overlay would create a new zoning district, but it is not final until after the scheduled public hearing and any later approval. The Council also moved forward with a special emergency appropriation to prepare a tax map and approved $15,000 for actions addressing environmental harm at Pfister’s Pond. Members discussed stronger enforcement for commercial trash, revisions to the tree ordinance, and options for managing rising leaf-disposal costs, but no final policy changes on those issues were recorded.
