Spencer to consider rezoning old Town Hall at 600 South Salisbury Avenue
Summary
Town staff presented a proposal to rezone parcel 032112 (former Town Hall at 600 South Salisbury Avenue) from CIB (government/civic) to MS (Main Street) so private office space can be developed; a neighborhood meeting had no attendees and the item is scheduled for adoption on July 14.
The Spencer Town Board heard a presentation July 9 on a proposed rezoning of parcel 032112 (the former Town Hall at 600 South Salisbury Avenue) from CIB, a civic/government classification, to MS (Main Street) to allow private office use.
The presenter (identified during the meeting as Mr. Blunt) said the property owner and several prospective buyers have expressed interest in renovating the building for private office space but that the parcel’s current CIB zoning does not allow private offices. He said the downtown core already contains substantial MS zoning and argued the rezoning would not constitute impermissible "spot zoning."
Mr. Blunt said the town advertised the proposal, held a neighborhood meeting (no residents attended), and intends to bring the ordinance for adoption at the board’s Tuesday meeting on July 14. There were no public speakers directly on this item at the pre‑agenda meeting; the board closed the public hearing by motion and hands‑up vote.
What happens next: ordinance 26‑06 (rezoning/official zoning map amendment for parcel 032112) is scheduled for the July 14 regular meeting for formal consideration.
