Peabody Planning Board Meeting - September 3, 2026

The Peabody Planning Board held a meeting on September 3, 2026, primarily focused on a public hearing regarding a proposed zoning ordinance amendment. The key procurement-related discussion involved a request to rezone two parcels on Lake Street from residential (R1) to business neighborhood (BN) zoning. This rezoning aims to correct a clerical error from previous zoning map revisions and align the parcels with adjacent commercial properties. The board received a letter of opposition but ultimately voted unanimously to recommend the city council adopt the zoning change. Additionally, the board approved meeting minutes from August 13, 2026, and granted an extension for site building permit plans at 81 Prospect Street. No contract awards, vendor selections, or budget allocations were discussed during this meeting.
