Planning board tables zoning chapter review to allow members more time to study packet
Summary
After reviewing building-code edits and identifying mapping/table errors, the Pittsfield Planning Board moved to table the remainder of the zoning chapter to give members time to read the materials and return with comments; motion carried and the meeting adjourned.
Board members concluded the zoning chapter and attached tables required additional review: maps in the packet appeared out of date, table page numbers and references did not match the main ordinance, and some district names were described in ways members found confusing. The presenter recommended simplifying some district labels (for example, using R1/R2/R3) and moving detailed use lists into named tables (Table P for residential, Table Q for commercial).
A member moved to table the rest of the zoning presentation to allow time for review; the motion carried. The board confirmed staff would circulate updated maps and return revised language at a subsequent meeting. The meeting was then adjourned.
