I’m writing to express my appreciation for the unanimous votes of the Planning Board and the CRC to approve inclusionary zoning changes that will be sent to the Town Council for a vote.
The bylaw would expand affordable unit requirements to nearly all new proposals for developments with 10 or more units. It will also include provisions developers sought, including allowing off-site units or payment in lieu of units to meet part of the affordability requirement. ....
