<div dir="auto">The Select Board role in the Zoning Map amendment process is principally to refer the request to the PB for a public hearing. The Planning Board makes a report to Town Meeting. The SB is also responsible for setting the TM warrant including the amendment request.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jul 17, 2023 at 8:51 AM William Cole via MassPlanners <<a href="mailto:massplanners@masscptc.org">massplanners@masscptc.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

<div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;color:#333333">
<span style="font-family:helvetica;font-size:12pt">When a developer/landowner sponsors a rezoning of parcels from Ag/Residential to Industrial (in order to allow a major industrial project) and presents an overall proposal to a Town Select Board, who holds the hearings? It seems to me that C 40 s 5 states the the SB needs to forward the rezoning proposal to the Planning Board within 21 days and for the PB to then post and hold the required public hearing. But some are of the mind that hearings for the whole proposal (the industrial use and the rezoning amendment) are the responsibility of the SB. Leading to a Town vote of course. Guidance appreciated.</span>
