# Zoning Board of Appeals September 10, 2026

The Greenfield Zoning Board of Appeals held a meeting on September 10, 2026, addressing several key development and signage applications. The board reviewed a special permit application for a hotel and restaurant project at 125 Mohawk Trail, focusing heavily on site design, parking requirements, pedestrian access, and landscaping. Concerns were raised about the volume and placement of parking spaces, particularly those facing Route 2A, with discussions on potential reductions and green space enhancements. The board also considered a six-month extension request for a special permit related to a cannabis cultivation and retail facility at 180 Laurel Street, citing delays due to soil testing and permitting processes. Additionally, a special permit for oversized signage at 107 Main Street for a Dollar Tree store was deliberated, with the board ultimately approving a reduced sign size and conditions on illumination to ensure compatibility with the downtown aesthetic. Motions were passed to approve the hotel project with conditions, extend the cannabis permit for 12 months, and approve the signage permit with modifications. The meeting included public comments, planning department input, and detailed discussions on balancing development needs with community and safety concerns.
