Gloucester Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting | June 11, 2026

The Gloucester Zoning Board of Appeals held a meeting on June 11, 2026, to review multiple special permit and variance applications related to residential construction and property modifications. Key procurement-related discussions included approvals for special permits to alter, expand, demolish, and rebuild single-family homes, as well as variances for additions and accessory structures such as in-ground pools. The board granted variances for a six-unit multi-family building at Four Day Court, addressing dimensional relief including setbacks and frontage requirements. They also approved a determination of no increase in non-conformity for a conforming addition to a non-conforming structure. Several motions were passed by roll call vote to approve these permits and variances, with decisions to draft legal documents for filing. One application for a single-family home construction was continued to a future meeting pending updated plans. Public testimony was heard on various projects, with some concerns raised about construction impacts and property conditions, but these were generally deferred to other city departments or future proceedings. Overall, the meeting focused on zoning approvals affecting residential development and property improvements in Gloucester.
