Building a Better Wellesley will hold its next meeting on Sept. 17 at 4:30pm via Zoom (register).

One key driver of housing is zoning, which is overseen by Wellesley’s Planning Board. Zoning determines what can be built on each parcel of land. With most of Wellesley zoned for single-family homes, and very little undeveloped land, most multi-family housing projects will require a parcel to be rezoned from single-family. Are there zoning changes on this year’s Planning Board agenda? At this month’s meeting, we are going to sit down with Tom Taylor, Chair of the Wellesley Planning Board. What would he like to accomplish during his term? What ideas does he have for creating affordable housing in Wellesley? Join us for a discussion of housing priorities and the articles that the Planning Board has placed on the Warrant for Special Town Meeting.
