Real time reporting: Legislation

(resuming reporting after my work meeting)

3. Zoning bylaw Amendment 16-775: Amendment to Chapter 185, Section 5 Zoning Map

motion to move to second reading, seconded, passed 9-0

5. Bylaw Amendment 16-777: Amendment to Chapter 151, Solid Waste and Recycling
this is procedural to clean up the fees, all the fees were moved to the other bylaw and this isn't needed any more


it was not calculated on what the economic impact this would have. It was not the intent to use this as a fund raiser

ambulance fees did go up but they are covered by insurance

** motion to approve, seconded, passed 9-0 (via roll call)
6. Resolution 16-75: Adoption of G.L. Chapter 64N Section 3 Local Tax on Marijuana Retail Sales and Establishment of Tax Rate
proposal to add the local sales tax option of 2%

** motion to approve, seconded, passed 9-0

7. Zoning Bylaw Amendment 17-779: Changes to Chapter 185 Section 3 Definitions
move to referral to planning board, seconded, passed 9-0

next set of bylaws, place zoning for recreational marijuana to the Industrial Park area along Forge Park and Grove St; initially putting with medical marijuana zoning some legislation may still be pending at the state. This is a starting point and a conservative approach.
Jones - I think these are logical as the State hasn't made their final definitions. We don't need this downtown.

Cerel - district name being changed to Marijuana use, make all applications by special permit

Pfeffer - discussion on prefix, should be 16 not 17, going to planning board anyway and coming back
8. Zoning Bylaw Amendment 17-780: Changes to chapter 185 Section 4 Districts Enumerated - Referral to Planning Board
move to referral to planning board, seconded, passed 9-0
9. Zoning Bylaw Amendment 17-781: Changes to Chapter 185 Section 5 Zoning Map - Referral to Planning Board (majority vote)
move to referral to planning board, seconded, passed 9-0
10. Zoning Bylaw Amendment 17-782: Changes to Chapter 185-Section 7 Compliance - Referral to Planning Board (majority vote)
