Amherst ZBA moves to deliberative session after hours of public comment; no final vote announced
Following more than an hour of public comment, the Amherst Zoning Board of Appeals moved to deliberative session. The motion to go into deliberation was made and seconded; roll call indicated the members present voted to deliberate. The board later returned to regular session, approved minutes from the 06/24/2026 meeting, announced the next meeting (08/05/2026 at 6:30 p.m.), and adjourned.

No final variance vote or formal approval conditions were recorded in the public portion of the meeting. The law director and public commenters noted subsequent steps remain: planning commission review, industrial board review and city council approval if the variance proceeds. The applicant and members acknowledged additional technical and procedural reviews would follow any variance approval.
