What this means
The recommendations would shift several areas from older manufacturing zoning toward residential or business zoning, but the changes still require further review before taking effect. The approved Malden Street plan allows 12 townhouse units with 48 parking spaces, while the Brandt Lane amendment reduces the larger development from 491 to 448 units and from 793 to 737 parking spaces. Review of the 1103 Millbury Street proposal was postponed to May 13 so the applicant can provide more information on drainage, groundwater, slope stability, and the wooded buffer.
