Zoning Board of Appeals - July 15th, 2026 | Westford, MA

The Westford Zoning Board of Appeals held a meeting on July 15, 2026, addressing several zoning and special permit issues. Key procurement-related discussions included a public hearing and approval for a special permit for a new tattoo studio business at 175 Littleton Road, contingent on Board of Health inspections and proper disposal methods. Another significant topic was the request for a special permit to allow used car sales and vehicle repair at 31 North Street. The board expressed concerns about parking, zoning compliance, and neighborhood impact, ultimately not favoring the used car sales permit but showing willingness to work on a special permit for vehicle repair with conditions such as limits on hours, number of vehicles, and registration requirements. The hearing was continued to August 19, 2026, to allow for draft decision preparation and further input. Additionally, the board discussed internal reorganization and upcoming zoning bylaw amendments related to solar storage systems, with a public hearing scheduled for late July. No contract awards or direct procurement actions were taken, but the meeting involved decisions and conditions that could influence future business operations and local vendor opportunities.
