Torres, regarding all Zoning Articles to be presented at ATM 2024 Mr. Torres explained that there will be 5 or 6 Articles for Town Meeting 24 and the warrant closes this week, so he would like to go over them with the Board. • The simplest Article is the Flood Zone Maps. This needs to be accepted by FEMA and this is being reviewed by Town Counsel; • Business & Central Zones on the zoning map are shown in the same color and need to be shown with separate colors. This is just a house -keeping article to correct his error; • The next few articles are the Canton Junction Overlay District and have been worked on by Mr. Walsh, Mr. Pando, Chair McDermott, and T.J. These were revised with Mr. Pando's suggestions and keeping in line with state guidelines. Mr. McCarthy questioned the change and why do we have to be in alignment with the state. He requested background information before we have the hearing. Planning Board Minutes January 3, 2024 Page 1 of 3
