The Plymouth Planning Board voted Jan. 2 to forward a zoning amendment that redraws parts of the Industrial‑Commercial District (ICD) near Tenney Mountain Highway to the March town meeting ballot.

Why it matters: The proposal adjusts district lines so that existing or anticipated commercial parcels along Tenney Mountain Highway are zoned consistently with nearby commercial development. Proponents said the change would reduce conflicts between existing land use and zoning and make it easier to site future commercial projects in the town's established commercial corridor.

Public comment and discussion: Speakers at the brief public hearing largely supported the change. Grace Garvey, a property owner, praised the board for the revised map and urged the board to preserve wetlands and scenic resources as future development proceeds. Board members noted that the written district descriptions in the warrant would be the controlling text if the map and narrative differ.

Board action: The Planning Board voted to place the ICD boundary amendment on the warrant for town meeting. The meeting record shows at least one abstention during the vote; the official tally was not recorded in full in the public transcript excerpt.

Ending: The amendment will appear on the March ballot for voter consideration. Planning staff said additional map copies and written descriptions are available for review, and that the board intends to consider more fine‑grained mapping or rezoning in future months if needed.
