Milton Planning Board Outlines Projects, Housing Plan, and Zoning Recodification

The Milton Planning Board presented an overview of ongoing projects and future zoning bylaw amendments. Key areas of focus include housing production, climate and environment, zoning and planning, traffic and transportation, and affordable housing compliance. The board is actively working on a housing production plan, with tasks including data collection, needs assessment, community outreach, and goal strategy development, aiming for plan finalization by November. They are also undertaking a four-phase recodification of zoning bylaws with KP Law to improve accessibility and clarity. Several large projects are currently under construction, including the Gardner School, two Eliot Street, Robin Street, and various 40B projects. Future zoning amendments will address issues like floor area ratios, parking requirements, and accessory structure dimensions. The board also highlighted ongoing discussions regarding the LaBré property and improving inter-board communication [cite: 56-70, 89-98, 116-120, 128-151, 157-175, 206-211, 456-548].
