New Zoning and Building Requirements on the Way?

Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch has named a citizen's task force to look at Quincy,s zoning and building regulations. In the past, there have been a large number of new Townhouse developments being built and changing the makeup of the neighborhoods. About a year ago, the City Council imposed a one year moratorium on any projects over two units within the Residential B zoning. This put a halt to the construction of such properties and now the City is looking at ways to put some permanent measures in place to protect the neighborhoods. The task force will be comprised of both professionals in the field and neighborhood residents and will take a hard look at the current zoning and building laws and reccomend changes they feel will benefit Quincy both now, and in the future.
