The CPDC on June 8 voted to continue review of the 281 Main Street application (281 Reading LLC) to the board’s next monthly meeting on Monday, July 13.
Community Development Director Andrew McNichol told the board the applicant remains “working through the consom process” and awaiting third‑party peer review findings for stormwater, and asked for the continuance so those items can be resolved before the CPDC takes further action. A member moved to continue the item and another member seconded.
The board conducted a roll‑call vote; Chair Heather Clish voted yes, as did members Hillary Mativ and Tom Armstrong. The motion passed.
Why it matters: board members said they want the CPDC to see the revised materials before deliberating further. The outstanding peer review concerns relate to stormwater controls the applicant must address before the board resumes its substantive review.
Next steps: the application will return to the CPDC on Monday, July 13 unless the applicant withdraws or requests a different date.
