A number of zoning changes are on the warrant for the Town Meeting scheduled for Saturday, May 8.
The Planning Board held public hearings about the bulk of those changes on April 12, but no members of the public participated.
Rezoning Wareham Village
The proposed changes to the Wareham Village zoning district, which stretches along Main Street from Tremont Nail to the Zecco Marina, are meant to foster redevelopment of the village while preserving its character and especially encouraging small business uses through mixed-use zoning.
Mixed use zoning allows a variety of uses, including retail, residential, office, entertainment, and culture to fit together in a single environment. Outdoor space including plazas and parks are also incorporated.
