Brockton Zoning Board Of Appeals August 11, 2026

The Brockton Zoning Board of Appeals held a meeting on August 11, 2026, where multiple zoning variance and special permit petitions were reviewed and voted on. Key procurement-related discussions included approvals for residential development projects involving variances for lot size, setbacks, and use changes, such as converting single-family homes to two-family dwellings and constructing new homes on undersized lots. The board granted relief for projects at 21 Henry Street, 33 Kuster Street, 75 Auburn Street, 20 Windsor Avenue, and 10 Battle Street, emphasizing compliance with new state zoning laws that provide more flexibility for variances, especially to promote housing. A special permit was also granted to Evans Machine Company to build in a floodplain zone, supporting local business expansion. One petition related to extending gas station operating hours was denied due to neighborhood concerns. The board also approved a variance for a multi-family renovation project at 182 Prospect Street with stipulations for property cleanup and compliance with code enforcement. The meeting concluded with the election of new chair and vice chair for the upcoming year.
