PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
STURBRIDGE PLANNING BOARD
PROPOSED ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT
TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA ESTABLISHMENTS
In accordance with the provisions of MGL Chapter 40A, Section 5, the Sturbridge Planning Board will hold a Public Hearing in the Meeting Room at the Center Office Building, located at 301 Main Street, Sturbridge at 7:40 PM, on Tuesday, March 28, 2017 to consider amendments to the Town’s Zoning Bylaw.
The proposal would amend the Zoning Bylaw by inserting a new Chapter 31 – Temporary Moratorium on Recreational Marijuana Establishments and would insert a new definition in Chapter 2 for Recreational Marijuana Establishment. The purpose of this temporary moratorium is to allow sufficient time to engage in a planning process to address the potential impacts of recreational marijuana establishments in the Town and to enact Bylaws in a manner consistent with sound land use planning goals and objectives.
Any person interested or wishing to be heard on these zoning proposals should appear at the time and place designated. The full text of the proposed zoning revisions may be reviewed at the Town Clerk’s Office, 308 Main Street, Sturbridge, Massachusetts, during normal business hours.
