You are receiving this email because you put your address on a list from one of the City's Sustainable Northampton Forums, including meetings held by the Zoning Revisions Committee.

 Proposed zoning amendments in the residential districts have been submitted to City Council as the next step in the long conversation about zoning changes for which public meetings were held last September. Since the September public forums on the draft, changes have been made based on comments, concerns and issues stemming from those conversations.  The proposed zoning amendments that have now been formally submitted for Council review/adoption seek to modify existing regulations in order to reflect the existing neighborhood districts surrounding Florence Center, downtown Northampton and neighborhoods in between.  

The proposed changes are available for viewing at www.northamptonma.gov/opd under "Hot Topics"  (if you have difficulty opening this document, please switch to a different internet browser which should solve any issue)

The City Council Ordinance Subcommittee along with the Planning Board will be holding a public hearing on these as noted below.
