The committee did not adopt the zoning change; it approved sending the revised language to the Planning Board for further review. The proposed bonus could allow denser and taller housing in a defined Route 20 area if specified design and setback conditions are met. The committee also reviewed meals-tax estimates showing Wayland currently collects about $250,000 to $300,000 annually, with projected new development potentially adding $25,000 in the first year and about $35,000 in the second.
