Resident Tina Zagyva addressed the Joint Comprehensive Planning Board on Feb. 5, urging changes to local zoning that would allow auxiliary housing on lots with existing residences to provide additional, needed housing.
Zagyva described the proposed change as a tool to expand local housing options by permitting an additional dwelling unit on properties that already have a residence. The minutes record her comment but do not show a formal motion, directive to staff, or immediate follow-up action by the board.
Board members did not take a recorded vote or make a formal decision on zoning at the meeting. The item is recorded in the minutes for consideration alongside other plan revisions; the minutes note broader plan edits that direct local officials to reassess zoning districts to see whether they meet current housing demands.
The meeting concluded with routine business, including approval of prior minutes and scheduling the next meeting for March 5, 2026. No other testimony on auxiliary housing is recorded in these minutes.
