Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The Hanover Planning Board will hold a public hearing on Monday, October
20, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. to discuss the MBTA Housing Act and proposed zoning
amendments related to multi-family housing in Hanover.

• Date/time: Monday, October 20, 2025, 7:00 p.m.
• Location: Hanover Town Hall, 550 Hanover Street or via Zoom
• Agenda and Zoom access details may be found here:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=68KdOXjfC7WE/EnArQVus8X9Y8BuM6/Pp+HEqqMhWpZoqLt7nDOIRqoN783ZLADJ
. Please note that as of this writing, the public hearing is confirmed for
7:00 p.m., but that the Planning Board meeting looks like it will start
earlier than that to review other business. Keep an eye on the agenda for
any updates.

The purpose of the public hearing is to receive public comments and
testimony regarding proposed amendments to Hanover’s Zoning Bylaw, which
will be considered at a Special Town Meeting in December (details about
that meeting to follow – right here on Around Town on the Web!).

The following amendments have been submitted to the Select Board for
inclusion as articles on the warrant for consideration and action at the
Special Town Meeting. Following the hearing, the Planning Board will vote
on its recommendations for the Special Town Meeting Warrant articles.
• Establish an MBTA Overlay District allowing multi-family housing by
right within designated areas.
• Amend the Zoning Bylaw (Section 10) to align development standards for
the new district. See the current Zoning Bylaws here:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=j2F8sUcJht+Mg9Bk0fMEZMX9Y8BuM9/Pp+HEqqMhWpZoqLt7nDOYRqoN783ZLADJ
.
• Update the Official Zoning Map to include the new MBTA Zoning District
in compliance with the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities
(EOHLC) model.

For more information, please e-mail joseph.stack@hanover-ma.gov .
