HATFIELD A North Hatfield Road site could be rezoned to allow development of a medical or business office, a convenience store or a marijuana dispensary.
When annual Town Meeting convenes May 11, voters will make the decision on whether to change the zoning on the 9.4-acre parcel at 137 North Hatfield Road from rural residential to light industrial.
The rezoning request, which comes from Gregory Omasta of 123 North Hatfield Road, would need a two-thirds majority to pass.
The Planning Board in mid-April voted 3-2 to put the rezoning on the warrant with a neutral recommendation, with both Chairwoman Stephanie Slysz and Vice Chairman Robert Wagner voting against bringing the topic to Town Meeting.
