Article 25:  Zoning Bylaw Amendment – Update of the Town’s Zoning Map:  This Article would revise and update the Town of Ayer Zoning Map to properly enshrine the rezoning of 27 and 29 Harvard Road that was approved at a previous Town Meeting, from General Residence to General Business.  Since the Zoning Map was never updated to show the rezoning and was not part of the approval at Town Meeting, the rezoning was not properly completed.  The Zoning Map must be approved by Town Meeting when a rezoning occurs.  The proposed Zoning Map can be viewed here and is on file in the Town Clerk’s Office.  Brief presentation to be made at Town Meeting.
