Hi Michelle,



My first thought is that the ANR does not change the boundaries of the subdistrict and you’d have a split-zoned lot.

Hoping this community will weigh-in on this Chapter 3A question. I've searched every FAQ I could find and haven't seen it addressed, though I have not gone back to the extensive webinars for a deep dive. Note that we are compliant with

Note that we are compliant with Chapter 3A and a city form of government so no requirement to send zoning amendments to the AGO.

The basic question:

What steps are required to increase acreage within a sub-district?



The background:

An owner of a parcel of land within a sub-district is seeking to convey land from an adjacent parcel through an ANR. That parcel happens to be outside of the district.



When the ANR is endorsed (since there's no reason for the Planning Board to withhold it), do I need to regenerate all of the district calculations, update the GIS and resubmit to EOHLC?  If so, is that before or after the ANR is endorsed/recorded?



Also - am I overthinking this?
