Brookline by Design seeks and promotes zoning reform derived from a comprehensive and inclusive planning process. This process is modeled after the very successful Somerville by Design initiative that other municipalities are following. Our proposed planning process (Warrant Article 26) passed with a near-unanimous vote at Town Meeting on December 1, 2021.

 

The Select Board--appointed Planning Process Study Committee is on the verge of voting on a final Request for Proposal for the consultant partner to begin Brookline’s long-delayed comprehensive planning process. We remain committed to an authentic, robust, informed, and comprehensive planning process to chart the course for our collective future. ​
