The Leominster Planning Board convened on August 18, 2025, to address several agenda items, including scheduling discussions and zoning amendments. The meeting began with a focus on optimizing the schedule for upcoming hearings, particularly concerning Glenn Eaton from the Montachusett Regional Planning Commission. Board members discussed the possibility of moving Eaton's presentation to the beginning of the October 6 meeting to avoid him waiting for an extended period. After deliberation, it was decided to schedule his presentation for 6:31 PM on September 15, just before another agenda item.

The board then moved on to a city council petition regarding a clerical error in the zoning table. The request aimed to amend the zoning to include the Multi-Family Overlay District (MFOD) in the abbreviations table for overlay districts. This item was deemed straightforward and was scheduled for a public hearing at 6:32 PM on the same date.

In the latter part of the meeting, the director reported no additional items and mentioned an upcoming speaking engagement at the Rotary Club. The meeting concluded with a reminder for members to retain their packets for the next session, as new materials would not be distributed.

Overall, the meeting was characterized by efficient scheduling and a focus on resolving minor clerical issues, with no contentious topics raised. The board's next steps include the scheduled presentations and public hearings, ensuring that all parties are prepared for the upcoming discussions.
