[Massplanners] Zoning Bylaw Amendment submitted the Select Board

[Liz Allard]

Good morning,

The Harvard Select Board recently submitted a Zoning Bylaw amendment to the Planning Board, which is a first for me.

As I understand the process this would be similar to a citizen petition in which the PB holds the public hearings; at which the PB can decide to support or not support the article at town meeting.

What I am getting conflicting information about is the actual hearing process.

If the PB makes changes to the amendment does it need to go back to the SB for approval?

Should a representative of the SB be in attendance at the public hearings?

Any advice or process another community may follow would be much appreciated.

Thank you
