Summary

Mayor & Council voted 5-1 to investigate blight concerns at 235 Market Street and to coordinate with Planning & Zoning on any necessary zoning amendments prior to re-zoning changes.

Council members agreed May 18 to investigate blight and permitted-use issues at 235 Market Street following resident complaints.

Councilman George Lodato moved and President of Council Chris Calio seconded a motion that Mayor & Council review the property at 235 Market Street regarding blight concerns prior to a pending re-zoning. Town Manager Jamie Smith explained the property was originally zoned commercial, was later rezoned to town center and grandfathered as a conditional use; changing permitted uses requires a zoning-ordinance amendment and Planning & Zoning review. The motion passed 5-1, with one vacancy.

Town Manager Smith said she would coordinate with the town attorney to draft an amendment for Planning & Zoning to review and return a recommendation to Mayor & Council.
