Board continues 9 Center Street hearing to July 1
Summary
The Planning Board voted to continue the public hearing for 9 Center Street to July 1; members flagged a discrepancy with the property’s B&B listing and noted the owner is a corporation, which may affect owner-occupancy requirements.
At the start of the June 6 meeting the Newburyport City Planning Board moved to continue the public hearing for 9 Center Street to July 1.
A board member said the application had been listed as a bed-and-breakfast but that the listed owner is a corporation, which appears to conflict with the ordinance’s owner‑occupancy requirement for B&Bs. A member said, "this seems to me not a B&B. It seems to be a hotel," and asked that the classification and ownership status be clarified before the board proceeds.
A motion to continue the item to July 1 was made and seconded on the record; the transcript excerpt provided does not list a full roll-call tally for that motion. The continuance will allow the applicant to clarify ownership and the appropriate permitting path if the use is not owner-occupied as currently described in application materials.
