The most notable development from the meeting was the board’s decision to approve the ordinance amending the zoning code, which is intended to encourage the development of workforce and long-term housing. This ordinance aims to tackle the housing challenges faced by the community, particularly in the C1 zoning district. The decision saw support from the majority of the board, although there was a single opposing vote. This move aligns with broader efforts to address housing affordability and availability in the region.

Another topic was the postponement of the Swain’s Property Management application. Initially scheduled for discussion during this meeting, the application involves properties on Jackson Street and requires minor subdivision and variance relief. The delay was attributed to a question regarding the adequacy of the notice provided to interested parties. The board announced that the hearing is rescheduled for October 28, 2025, and emphasized that this notice serves as the general announcement for the upcoming discussion, although some supplemental notices may be mailed.
