Northampton’s Planning Board approved zoning changes for urban residential districts URA, URB and URC. The package includes an amendment to require Special Permits for developments of 7+ units. The proposal will next be revisited by the City Council’s Ordinance Committee at its June 10 meeting.
Here is a YouTube video of the Planning Board meeting recorded by Ruth McGrath (see agenda). The zoning discussion begins at 1:11:05.
