EDC stresses village-center overlay as a multi-year priority for zoning and design review
Summary
Rich, the EDC’s planning-board representative, said the village-center overlay appears in the master plan and will require 12–18 months of work on zoning, design review and coordination with other boards.
Committee members discussed long-term zoning goals and the village-center overlay as an item to carry forward into planning-board goal-setting. Rich, the EDC’s planning-board representative, said the zoning and design-review work would likely be a 12–18 month effort requiring coordination with historic commissions and planning staff, and that the EDC should prioritize follow-up as part of goal-setting.
Rich summarized the priority: "Village center overlay, zoning, whatever you wanna call it, is one of the items that's been carried on the it's in the master plan." Members agreed to reread the Italian Bond village‑center study, to put zoning on the EDC’s next agenda and to coordinate outreach with the planning board during its goal‑setting meeting.
