Planning Board grants minor site plan approval to convert office back to apartment at 63 School Street
Summary
The Planning Board granted waivers and minor site plan approval allowing an after‑the‑fact conversion of office space to a dwelling unit at 63 School Street, establishing a fifth unit on the parcel after ZBA variances were secured.
The Concord City Planning Board on June 18 granted waivers and minor site plan approval for the after‑the‑fact conversion of an office into a dwelling unit at 63 School Street, establishing a fifth dwelling unit at the parcel.
John Arnold, representing the applicant, said the property previously contained residential space, a portion of which had been converted to an office in recent years. “My client bought the property, little less than a year ago. Wanted to convert that office space back to a residential unit,” Arnold said. The applicant had obtained two variances from the Zoning Board of Adjustment for nonconforming lot size and frontage prior to the Planning Board hearing.
Board packets included waiver requests from sections of the site plan regulations (listed in staff materials), and the board voted to grant the waivers and minor site plan approval subject to precedent and subsequent conditions outlined in the record. No exterior alterations, no site work and no changes to impervious surfaces were proposed as part of the application; the conversion was interior and described as already completed during a building department final walkthrough.
The board recorded approval and stated conditions (precedent and subsequent) appear in the planning packet and must be satisfied before final sign‑off.
