The Town of Sutton will hold its fall town meeting on Monday, October 20. On the warrant will be a proposed MBTA Communities Zoning Overlay that will help the town meeting compliance with the state requirement by creating a district where multi-family housing would be allowed by right, rather than by special permit.

The district being suggested surrounds three parcels on Route 146 and Boston Road surrounding Market 32. The Housing Production Plan group chose these parcels as options that would be of minimal impact to the town. The creation of the district does not require that multi-family housing be built there, but allows it. To view the zoning bylaw, go to 

A public hearing on the MBTA Communities Zoning Overlay will be held by the planning board on September 22.

The draft warrant with all articles for the fall town meeting warrant was presented to the select board at their September 16 meeting. The finance committee will held their public hearing on the warrant articles on September 24. As of this writing the draft warrant contained 13 articles. The warrant will be signed by the select board on October 7 and posted on October 10.
