RE: Advisory Opinion to the City Council
PB #20211113 Smiley-Brackett Cottage - Proposed Zoning Text Amendment
Dear Mayor and Commissioners:
Per your request, the Planning Board considered the proposed text amendment to include the
property ( 166 Excelsior Avenue) to the list of City Landmarks in 7.4. 18 of the Zoning Ordinance at its
November 18, 2021 meeting.
Following discussion and evaluation of 10. 1 .5. 1 of the Zoning Ordinance the Planning Board issued the
following advisory opinion by a 5-0 vote (In favor: Torpey, Horton, Mayo, Doty, Dal Pos):
• Determined the proposed zoning text amendment ( I ) is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan and (2) is not contrary to the general purposes and intent of the Zoning Ordinance;
specifically, 7.4. 1 "It is hereby declared that the protection, enhancement and perpetuation of
landmarks and historic districts are necessary to promote the economic, cultural, educational
and general welfare of the public".
• Issued a favorable advisory opinion on the requested text amendment to include the property
— 166 Excelsior Ave. — to the list of City Landmarks in 7.4. 18.
If you have any questions regarding the above, please contact me.
Sincerely,
‘..._•11/10‘,„ at dr . .
