Zoning Board of Appeals // September 15, 2026

The Marshfield Zoning Board of Appeals held a hybrid meeting on September 15, 2026, to review multiple site plan approvals and special permits related to property redevelopment and construction projects. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of site plans for an addition and parking reconfiguration at 1952 and 1948 Ocean Street for a yoga studio business, demolition and reconstruction of a veterinary hospital at 1537 Ocean Street with increased parking and improved site safety, and raise and rebuild projects for single-family homes at 55 Gilbert Street and 78 Putnham Street. The board approved motions granting site plan approvals and special permits subject to conditions such as building permits, demolition permits, as-built certifications, certificates of occupancy, and required easement agreements for shared access and drainage. The meeting also addressed compliance with zoning bylaws, floodplain regulations, and site safety standards. Additionally, the board discussed potential future zoning bylaw amendments related to political signage and the Brandt Rock overlay district, noting concerns about the overlay district's stringency and impact on development feasibility.
