The City of Newton is considering a set of proposed zoning changes for Newton's village center commercial districts, a set of rules that determines what can be built and where. The draft zoning changes propose three new zoning districts that are tailored to each village center to appropriately guide future development.
Staff and consultant Utile presented version 1.0 maps of the proposed village center zoning districts. This first draft is intentionally meant to be reviewed and updated. Future updates to the draft maps will incorporate (1) the recent results of the engagement on the proposed zoning framework, (2) input from Zoning and Planning Committee (ZAP) workshops at upcoming meetings, and (3) comments gathered through the public info + input sessions and this form.
How to use this form:
- Review the drafted maps by clicking here or by visiting the exhibit on the first floor of City Hall.
- Submit input on the chosen village center. You are welcome to submit an input form on each of the village center draft maps.
- You can submit input through this form until the end of 2022.
Additional ways to engage:This form was created, and will be maintained, by the City of Newton's Department of Planning & Development. Email zoningredesign@newtonma.gov with questions.
