Zoning Bylaw Review Steering Committee - November 10, 2026

The Zoning Bylaw Review Steering Committee meeting for Walpole, dated November 10, 2026, focused on revisions to proposed zoning articles following Town Council feedback. Members discussed nonconforming-use abandonment periods, whether to route certain special permits and full site plan reviews through the same board, and edits to solar and battery energy storage provisions. The committee favored keeping battery storage as an accessory use, and planned to remove references to the state’s consolidated permitting process. Discussion of the abandonment period did not produce a clear final decision.
