I'm

going to call the meeting to order of uh I don't even know what date is September 28th.

All day, yeah.

Planning and zone.

It's been a while, so bear with me.

So anyway, September 28th of the planning and zoning subcommittee.

Uh tonight we have the minutes of June 4th and June 10th.

Motion to approve?

Uh, can I just agenda first?

Oh, sorry.

Uh followed by public participation if there is any uh continued discussion.

It's just an update on an upcoming meeting of next week for Edmonds Road.

Uh CB district reduction.

I prepared a um the CB trim map again for further discussion.

And Waverly Street zoning, uh, this is preliminary uh draft zoning that I put together to finally start doing some work on Waverley Street, followed by uh there isn't Callaire will not be here tonight.

Um I didn't hear back from them, and followed by some member reports.

We have some updates on that from reports and adjournment.

Having said that, I will go back to the minutes of June 4th and June 10th if I have a motion on that to approve.

Motion to approve.

Second.

Okay, all is in favor, Councilor Audiani.

Yes.

Councillor Leon Bruno?

Yes.

Um okay.

So I'll go to public participation.

We do have one attendee.

Do you have any?

Does anybody have any comments outside of what's on the agenda for tonight?

I

don't see any hands seeing none.

I will just go to the next item, which is a CB district.

And I'm going to share my screen.

So if you recall back in the day, we had talked about this uh what was it last year or it's been a while to reduce the CB district.

And this was the map that we had come up with, and somehow I can't remember why we didn't proceed with it.

I think because MB MBTA zoning had uh occurred, and at that time this got dropped.

And then after MBTA zoning, I was re it was a request that we go back and look at further reducing the CB district because currently we are way above the number required by MBTA zoning, and I don't know the number off the top of my head, but I

think

it's around 3800 is what we or 3600 that we have to come up with.

And this district as originally where you see the current district in red, um, that actually allows for something around 7,000 units, which of dense units.

Um, and or if we reduce the height restrictions, um also later we're gonna be talking about Waverly Street, and you notice that Waverley Street does run right through the CB district.

So one of the things that I have to think about, or we should think about the reductions that we do in Waverley Street and how that affects the CB district, and maybe not maybe taking some of

the

um boundaries pulling back off of the side streets, and that way we you know, not as many as we have as I've reduced here so that we can keep the height restriction on Waverley Street at a lower rate instead of six stories.

So I will go to council members.

Do you have comments?

Councilor Adibiani.

No, nothing at this time.

I know it's this is long overdue.

We've been talking about it for a while.

And you know, there's I know um

I

tried to log on to a planning board meeting the other night.

They were talking about some different things, but um it wasn't much discussion at the time.

So

yeah.

So it's just again, I wanted to bring this back so we can at least start revisiting this.

Um there were some words of caution from the solicitor when we brought this forward last time about the um the reduction in numbers fell within 20 units of what is required.

It was still over the number, but just very close to the actual number that we're required to have for this district.

So again, this was done uh with a former building commissioner who was our COO, who knows probably more about Framingham than a lot of us.
