Brockton Planning Board Mtg

The Brockton Planning Board meeting was held November 4, 2026. The board approved the September 1 minutes and continued a zoning amendment to the next month because the amendments had only recently been submitted and had not yet been reviewed. The board also reviewed two accessory dwelling unit (ADU) site plans at 1036 and 1044 Ash Street; the transcript records affirmative roll-call votes, including an explicit motion to approve the 1044 Ash Street proposal.

For 124 Manley Street, the board considered a site plan for a new building of 24 furnished studio apartments, including eight units designated for veterans, as an expansion of the existing supportive-housing campus. Discussion focused on emergency-response access and coordination, citing high fire/EMS call volumes, recent fires, and concerns about evacuations and congestion on the property. Members discussed having the applicant/operator coordinate with the fire department and whether to continue the item; the transcript ends during deliberation, so the final action is not available. No procurement activity, contract awards, or purchasing decisions were identified.
