2 issues in zoning with high priority
47 Highland Road alleged commercial events in residential zone
A resident says his neighbor's home hosts large, loud fundraisers with DJs, raffles and parking overruns, and that heavy landscaping and a garage-to-cabana conversion suggest a permanent event venue in a residential zone. He asked the city to stop issuing permits and enforce its zoning code.
Battery energy storage moratorium extended one year
The city has banned itself from approving battery energy storage facilities — big rows of rechargeable batteries tied to the power grid — until April 28, 2027. The council wants time to study fire and environmental risks before letting anyone apply. Building a facility anyway would cost $1,000 per day in penalties.
