ZONING AMENDMENTS
We recommend a YES vote on all three.
You can read them here.
Our take:
1 - It is always good to lower building heights. Bedford doesn't want or need skyscrapers in the PZ.
2 - We agree that we need to repeal the "overlay district".
3 - Take the power of giving 'waivers' away from the PB. Waivers violate laws YOU voted for.
Please let your friends and family know and bring them with you to vote on Tuesday March 9, 2021.
