The Zoning Board reviewed and voted on two variance requests from Graphic Packaging International. The first request involved additional parking spaces to accommodate contractor parking and reduce neighborhood spillover. The second request concerned building setback variances for a new warehouse along Pitcher and Proudie Streets. The board discussed impacts on the neighborhood, including truck traffic and the potential shade effects on nearby businesses. Public comments were considered, and both variance requests were approved with one abstention. The meeting also included a community discussion on the city's development and challenges.
