The Planning Board agreed on March 11, 2025, to host a joint public hearing with the City Council on a proposed zoning amendment related to historic preservation. The amendment was brought forward by Judy Mack and Councilor Tyros and would be considered in a joint hearing to gather public input.
Board members discussed scheduling and agreed to propose a joint meeting with the City Council, aiming for 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, subject to council availability and required advertising timelines. The board noted the matter is primarily procedural at this stage; the Planning Board will host the hearing in the City Council chambers and City Council members will attend and listen to public comment.
Board members described the subject property as a former convent and an old building on Central Street (the old Cyber High School) that needs maintenance and has proposed parking expansion and renovations; proponents intend to explain the proposal and clarify intended work at the public hearing.
The board voted to approach the City Council to request the joint hearing and to advertise the hearing on the proposed date once council staff confirm the schedule.
