Council votes to send Tuffy Bear property rezoning to Special Town Meeting
Summary
The Planning Board recommended rezoning Map 17 Lot 001 (formerly Tuffy Bear); the council unanimously voted to forward the application and a density-bonus provision to a Special Town Meeting for a final decision.
The Glenburn Town Council on Jan. 15 voted unanimously to send a rezoning application for Map 17 Lot 001, known formerly as the Tuffy Bear property, to a Special Town Meeting. The Planning Board submitted a recommendation to rezone the parcel, and Councilor Means requested the council approve and expedite the matter.
Mr. Cookson moved to send the rezoning application and an associated density-bonus provision to a Special Town Meeting; Mr. Day seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The minutes do not record the proposed new zoning district language or the schedule for the Special Town Meeting; those details remain to be posted in formal meeting notices.
Why it matters: Rezoning would change permissible uses or density on a named parcel that has drawn formal Planning Board attention. The council’s decision moves the matter from advisory review to a public vote at a Special Town Meeting, where voters will decide whether to adopt the rezoning and any density bonus.
