Council continues GB‑2 zoning amendment for Lynnfield Street parcel to June 12, asks committee review
Summary
A proposed zoning amendment to create a GB‑2 (General Business 2) district and a map change affecting assessor's map 101, parcel 10 and Lynnfield Street was continued to June 12 with instructions to have the matter reviewed in committee (ICD) before returning to the full council.
The council continued a zoning amendment hearing tied to creation of a General Business 2 (GB‑2) zoning district and a requested map change affecting assessor's map 101, parcel 10 and Lynnfield Street until June 12.
Councilor Walton asked the council to receive late communications and moved to continue the matter. He told the body the item remains with the committee (referred to in the record as ICD) and said neighbors had been patient after multiple continuances; he said he would be prepared to recommend withdrawal if the applicant could not resolve outstanding concerns by the June 12 date.
The council voted to accept the request for continuance to June 12 and received related late communications and a city solicitor opinion (item 8d) into the record. Councilors emphasized that the matter should return to the committee before coming back to the full council.
Why it matters: a new GB‑2 district and the map amendment would change use and dimensional controls at the specified parcel; neighbors have participated in the process and councilors asked that the committee process be completed before another full-council hearing.
Next steps: the council continued the hearing to June 12 and directed staff and the applicant to bring the matter to the ICD committee for review before returning to the full council.
