Planning commission grants two extensions, backs laundromat and one variance, rejects another infill variance
Summary
The Cranston Planning Commission approved one‑year extensions for two vested projects, recommended an Elmwood Avenue laundromat and a Farmington Avenue dimensional variance, and issued a negative recommendation on a Whiting Street infill variance (6–3).
The Cranston Planning Commission handled a short slate of procedural and zoning‑review items after the joint workshop. Commissioners approved 1‑year extensions for two previously vested development projects; recommended that a proposed laundromat in an M‑2 (industrial) zone be permitted as an adaptive reuse; recommended a dimensional variance on Farmington Avenue for an existing single‑family house; and voted to forward a negative recommendation on a Whiting Street infill lot variance.
Extensions: The commission unanimously approved a one‑year extension for Knight’s Corner Development’s vesting period (extension to 2026‑05‑02). The commission also approved a one‑year extension for the Cranston Printworks vesting period (extension to 2026‑04‑04). Both extensions were presented by attorney Robert Murray and supported by planning staff.
