An information session is scheduled for the public on the proposed zoning bylaw amendment:

About the Article and the SPRD Ad Hoc Committee
This article is the result of the work of the Select Board's Special Permit Residential Development (SPRD) Zoning Bylaw Amendment Committee (Ad Hoc). It was created in response to the 2018 Town Meeting vote to refer a citizen petition to amend this same zoning bylaw back to the Select Board. The Committee was charged with developing a zoning proposal to revise or replace the SPRD section of the Zoning bylaw to allow and encourage more affordable and diverse home types.
The work of the Committee is separate, but complementary to, the Planning Board’s effort to develop new multi-family zoning to be in compliance with the State’s MBTA zoning requirements.
The Select Board’s SPRD Ad Hoc Committee will present its proposal to a number of Town boards/committees in the coming weeks. That schedule, as well as additional information about the work of the Committee, is available online at LexingtonMA.gov/SPRD
