Copy of Brockton Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting 11-10-2026

The Brockton Zoning Board of Appeals’ November 10, 2026 meeting considered two zoning variance petitions; no procurement, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified. The board approved Maria and Jose Gomes’s request for approximately 30 inches of side-yard setback relief at 145 Copeland Street, 4–1, for an addition to an existing two-family dwelling. The applicants said the addition would expand a bathroom for an elderly family member and would not increase the building’s occupancy. The approval was subject to stipulations, including addressing concerns about the yard before a building permit could be issued; the building inspector stated that a permit could not be issued while the property remained in zoning violation.

The board also approved, 5–0, a frontage variance for a proposed single-family home at 49 Windsor Avenue. The lot has about 119 feet of frontage, compared with the 175 feet required, while the proposed home meets the other stated setback requirements. The applicant described a proposed infiltration system and grading intended to maintain drainage toward Route 24; an abutter opposed the request, citing existing water and drainage concerns. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn.
