Sterling Planning Board moves forward with minor zoning amendments and senior housing bylaw for public hearing March 12, but defers inclusionary zoning and compact overlay proposals.

Vice Chair Eric Newman and Michael Temple opposed the narrowed scope, but the board voted 3-2 to proceed with minor amendments and the senior housing bylaw while tabling the two remaining proposals.
