# Planning Board 09/16/2026

The City of Worcester Planning Board held a meeting on September 16, 2026, focusing on multiple site plan and subdivision applications. Key procurement-related discussions included the authorization of a peer review for a large-scale 300-unit project at 1-3 Suburban Road, with the board approving a motion to engage external consultants to review stormwater management, soil conditions, and zoning compliance due to the project's complexity. The board also approved several definitive site plans, including a six-unit multifamily building at 114 Lincoln Street, a Taco Bell with drive-thru at 379 Pullman Street with conditions on landscaping and stormwater testing, a three-family dwelling at 104 Eastern Avenue, and a frontage subdivision plan at 69 Orient Street. Additionally, the board reapproved a previously approved mixed-use development at 216 and 221 Chandler Street with 28 residential units and commercial space, including conditions related to parking, loading zones, and pedestrian safety. Motions to approve these projects were passed unanimously or by majority vote, with conditions addressing zoning compliance, landscaping, stormwater management, and construction management plans. The meeting also included discussions on scheduling and procedural matters related to peer review contracting and public hearing continuations.
