Stoughton Planning Board deferred major zoning decisions and opened a senior housing debate. Chair Daniel Kelly and members voted unanimously to postpone sidewalk construction at Turnpike Street until April 2026, allowing first-house occupancy without winter construction. The board continued a zoning amendment hearing to February 12 at a property owner's request, expressing reservations about expanding General Business zone designations.
A new senior housing bylaw hearing opened, with Roberta Harback, Chair of the Redevelopment Authority, proposing cottage-style units on town property adjacent to the Senior Center; Kelly questioned whether the RC zone restriction would prevent development. A sign special permit for 614 Park Street moved to March 12, pending detailed landscaping and digital display specifications from the applicant.
