19:41:01	 From  Neil Cronin : What do you want to better understand about Zoning Redesign?
19:43:55	 From  Karine Alexander : Why are those pushing the zoning overhaul agenda determined to eliminate single-family zoning in Newton?  Isn’t there a process already for increasing density on a case-by-case basis?
19:47:20	 From  Robert Fizek : And don’t forget about Embodied carbon analysis which is virtually excluded from Climate Action discourse.
19:53:38	 From  Robert Fizek : This proposed all new zoning format and proposal is quite new and largely untested. Where is it in use now, and where is the data -ideally in the form of real life case studies in comparable locations and market conditions- supporting the claims attached to the current ZAP policies & proposed rezoning?
19:53:40	 From  Neil Cronin : Which of the Zoning Redesign goals feel most important to you? And why? (Remember, we’re planning for the next 50 years and beyond!)  
19:54:13	 From  Simon French : Which goals?
19:54:14	 From  annemariestein : can you repost the goals please?
19:54:50	 From  Debra Bradley Ruder   to   Neil Cronin(Privately) : I second Karine’s question about the impact on single-family housing zoning.
20:00:49	 From  Debra Bradley Ruder   to   Neil Cronin(Privately) : The three goals are Housing (serving range of incomes), Sustainability, and Context — meaning encouraging new development that fits in the context of our neighborhoods and villages.
20:04:19	 From  Neil Cronin   to   Debra Bradley Ruder(Privately) : What do you hope that Zoning Redesign accomplishes?
20:06:50	 From  Robert Fizek : Respectfully… But the truth is that the ZAP Committee over the last year has not been forthcoming, nor even recording criticism and dissenting opinions submitted in written form and presented in their meetings.
20:10:10	 From  Simon French   to   Neil Cronin(Privately) : Vicki is taking over the show. This is for residents talk
20:10:19	 From  Peter Bruce   to   Neil Cronin(Privately) : I agree with Richard R.  The Comprehensive Plan said Newton should aim for up to. a 15 percent increase in housing.  developments since then and especially those added and approved in the last few years will have reached about three quarters of that goals once al projects approved and in the pipeline are built.  so we are closing in on these goals .  But the mayor seems to have signed on for about 6000 additional units with other area mayors.  I s this driving the push for much more density and form-based zoning?
20:10:23	 From  Simon French   to   Neil Cronin(Privately) : Would you like me to remind her?
20:10:56	 From  Neil Cronin : What concerns you about Zoning Redesign?
20:11:26	 From  Robert Fizek : Yes, we already have accessory apartments allowed in the current zoning.
20:15:08	 From  Robert Fizek : It’s not semantics,
20:15:14	 From  Sumukh Tendulkar   to   Neil Cronin(Privately) : Hi - How can I cannot post on chat to everyone?
20:15:28	 From  Sumukh Tendulkar   to   Neil Cronin(Privately) : Am I doing something wrong?
20:15:51	 From  Neil Cronin   to   Sumukh Tendulkar(Privately) : chance the To: field from me to "Everyone"
20:15:56	 From  Neil Cronin   to   Sumukh Tendulkar(Privately) : *change
20:16:21	 From  Sumukh Tendulkar   to   Neil Cronin(Privately) : :( I have only two choice - u and Vicki Danberg
20:16:38	 From  Robert Fizek : It’s not semantics, If you allow multi-units by-right, the developers will do them.
20:18:30	 From  annemariestein : I agree that keeping some FAR requirement helps to keep green space and limits some bad kinds of development
20:20:32	 From  Neil Cronin : How do you want to participate with Zoning Redesign in 2021? 
20:21:07	 From  Robert Fizek : Perhaps it would be best to put the Form Based part of this into a separate Guidelines document instead of a legal prescription as Ordinance.
20:25:35	 From  Karine Alexander : I would like to continue to be involved in the discussions.  And would be interested in seeing all the other comments from the other breakout groups.
20:26:04	 From  Robert Fizek : I would like for the process to pause -allow for Planning Dept to really consider what has already been done and hasn’t yet been done to qualify the proposed changes.  and we can reboot a fully accessible engagement when things have normalized.
20:30:09	 From  Robert Fizek : Ten times seems impossible.Can you identify your source for that data?
