The approved rules establish a new framework for certain age-restricted housing developments. A qualifying district must abut the Merritt Parkway and have frontage on Booth Hill Road, and applicants must first obtain approvals from the Inland Wetlands & Watercourses Commission, Police Commission, and Water Pollution Control Authority. The commission also paused an 800-square-foot accessory-apartment application pending wetlands review and continued a hearing on a proposed 150-unit multifamily development to May 20, 2026.
