Gloucester Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting | September 24, 2026

The Gloucester Zoning Board of Appeals meeting on September 24, 2026, addressed zoning applications and administrative matters; no procurement, contracting, or budget activity was identified. The board approved the chair’s authorization to sign decisions for 1000 Washington Street and 15 Traverse Street, continued the 21 Walnut Street application to October 8, and denied the special permit for decks at 8 Angle Street by a 1–3 vote after discussion of privacy and fire-safety concerns. It approved a six-month variance extension for MS9 Rosey LLC at 18–18B Rogers Street and a special permit for Suzanne Rose’s porch at 22 Calder Street. The 103 Essex Street application was continued to October 8 so the applicant could provide a plot plan and dimensions.

The board unanimously approved three variances for a home at 29 Flume Road, covering lot area and front- and side-yard setbacks. The hearing then began on a special permit request for a 900-square-foot detached accessory dwelling unit on Rust Island, but the transcript does not capture a decision. No purchasing decisions, vendor selections, funding allocations, or other procurement-related action items were identified.
