Summary

A proposal to place 46 storage containers on a lot behind Sterling Bank was presented Oct. 24; Code Enforcement said C2 zoning classification needs clarification and the board voted to table the item pending City Attorney Chidister's review.

The Malden Planning & Zoning Board on Oct. 24 heard a proposal to install 46 shipping-container storage units on a lot behind Sterling Bank, across from Walmart, but moved to table the request while the city attorney reviews whether the C2 zoning code permits that use.

The minutes record that the proposal was presented by Russ Oliver and that Code Enforcement reviewed the C2 zoning code and concluded the classification of the proposed accessory building or use requires clarification because the city lacks a directly comparable standard. The minutes note that Attorney Chidister should review the proposal for compliance with applicable codes.

Board Member Larry Smith moved to table the proposal and revisit it after City Attorney Chidister’s review; Board Member Dianna Rogers seconded. The minutes record the motion and second but do not include a vote tally or final recorded outcome for the tabling motion.

No further action on the proposal was recorded. The board adjourned at 12:32 p.m.
