Planning Board sets Dec. 18 public hearing on short‑term rental and accessory dwelling unit zoning changes
Summary
The Planning Board reviewed proposed text changes for Short‑term Rentals and Accessory Dwelling Units at its Dec. 4 meeting and scheduled a public hearing for Dec. 18, 2025, with the proposed changes to be incorporated into the hearing materials; the minutes do not include the specific text changes.
The Springfield Planning Board reviewed draft language for proposed zoning changes covering Short‑term Rentals and Accessory Dwelling Units and set a public hearing for Thursday, Dec. 18, 2025.
The board’s minutes record that proposed changes and text for both Short‑term Rentals and Accessory Dwelling Units were reviewed at the Dec. 4 meeting and that the changes will be incorporated in advance of the Dec. 18 public hearing. The minutes do not specify the substantive details of the proposed amendments or which sections of the zoning ordinance would be altered.
Present at the meeting were board members and staff including Jen Roberts, the Selectboard representative, and Tim Bray, zoning coordinator. Tim Josephson of the Upper Valley LSRPC was also listed among attendees; his presence typically indicates regional planning staff can provide technical review, though the minutes do not record specific recommendations from him at this meeting.
No vote on the substantive changes is recorded in the minutes; scheduling the public hearing enables the board to receive public comment before any formal vote. The board’s next regular meeting and the public hearing are set for Dec. 18 at 7:00 p.m. at the Springfield Memorial Building.
