The City Council Land Use Committee convened via remote participation on December 7, 2025, to finalize agenda items before the year's end. The meeting included routine approvals of previous minutes, a vote on a zoning map amendment, and a discussion regarding the disposition of an ongoing land use project as Councilor Wilson exits the council.
All right, and now to clear this land use committee meeting in order, please note that pursuant to app chapter two, sorry. Chapter two of the acts of 2025. This meeting of the city council committee will be conducted via remote participation. We'll post an audio recording, audio video recording, transcript, or other comprehensive record of these proceedings as soon as possible after the meeting on the City of Sumbleville website and local cable access government channels. Clerk, please call the roll. This is a roll call, Counselor Davis. Here. Counselor Saeed. Here. Counselor Wilson. Present. Counselor Ewan Campen. Councilor McGofflin. Yeah. Four counselors present, one absent we have quorum. All right. We just have a few house cleaning items uh that we could have taken care of last meeting. I apologize for uh coming here now. I'd like to move to approve items one, two, and three, which are the minutes and two items that we had uh presented by the city. Does anyone have any discussion or objection? Clerk, please call the roll. Approval of agenda items one, two, and three, counselor Davis. Yes. Counselor Saeed? Yes. Counselor Wilson? Yes. Councilor McGofflin. Yes. Those items are approved. All right, please read the next item. The next item is agenda item four. 12 registered voters requesting a zoning map amendment to change the zoning district of 363 Highland Av from midrise four to mid-rise five, and from mid-rise four to midrise six and one ten will have from MR4 to MR6. Ms. Chair, I'm doing this. Yes, Council Davis is recused. Yes. So do we still have a quorum? We have three here. Um I believe when we last discussed this, we had a conversation and most people seem supportive. Uh did not hear a motion at the time because we still have the land the planning board recommendation, which should be before us by the next meeting. Does anyone have any thoughts on this item? I see council Wilson. Mr. Chair, thank you. Um I'm supportive of this. I have not heard from anyone in the public who's not supportive of this. It seems very much in line with everything we always talk about in terms of of well, land use. Um yeah, I'd eager to hear the planning board's uh thoughts on this. I guess we could always discharge without a recommendation, or we could vote on it.
