<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">This isn’t about what a first glance at the Subject Line might suggest. The Belmont Planning Board is considering development of a new zoning category for Open Space. This isn’t OSRD but simply

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">If your community has such a district or if you know a city or town that has something like this, I’d love to hear about it and see the text of the zoning.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
