Rules & Ordinance Committee to review inclusionary zoning update
The Rules & Ordinance Committee meets at 6:15 p.m. tonight in Room 105 at City Hall, 215 Pleasant Street, to consider a rewrite of the city's inclusionary-zoning ordinance. The measure, sponsored by Councillor Stephen Winslow, would strike Malden City Code 12.12.300 in its entirety and replace it with new language; a section-by-section attachment and a cover letter from the Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development are filed with the agenda. Residents can watch remotely via Teams, and a quorum of the City Council may be present, though no formal Council votes are anticipated.
