Planning Board endorses multiple ANR lot‑line adjustments affecting RG5, RS7 and RL7 districts
Summary
The board endorsed several Approval Not Required (ANR) plans that reconfigure lot lines to meet frontage requirements in RG5, RS7 and RL7 zoning districts; one lot previously received a variance to permit a duplex.
The Worcester City Planning Board on May 21 endorsed a set of Approval Not Required (ANR) plans that reconfigure lot lines to meet zoning frontage rules in several neighborhoods.
Planning Division staff member Olivia Hall summarized the ANRs: 015 and 17 Forestdale Road would create Parcel A to be combined with Lot 1 to meet the 60‑foot frontage requirement for a three‑family use in the RG5 district; 268 and 278 Mower Street would be reconfigured so all three resulting lots meet the 65‑foot frontage requirement in the RS7 district; 23 Lorenzo Street is on a private street in the RL7 district and the applicant received a relief from lot‑area requirements from the Zoning Board of Appeals in February to allow creation of parcels for a duplex; 12 Veil Street would be divided with Parcel A nonbuildable and later combined with an abutting property owned by Greendale People's Church; and 740 Burncoat Street would shift a lot line so all lots provide the required 35‑foot frontage for duplex style dwellings in RL7.
A board member moved to endorse the ANRs as presented and the board voted to endorse them 3–0.
Staff asked board members to raise any specific questions; none were raised in the meeting. The endorsements clear the way for applicants to proceed with lot combinations or conveyances described in the ANR plans.
