Weston Planning Board Advances High School Field Lights, Continues Regis Rezoning

WESTON — June 17, 2026 — Weston Planning Board continues Regis College senior housing hearing, unanimously advances high school field lighting. The board voted five to zero at its June 17 meeting to continue both the 300 Wellesley Street age-restricted rezoning — where HYM Investment Group and new architect CBT Architects presented a substantially revised design replacing a single four-story building with two connected three-story structures totaling 215 units plus 30 townhomes — and a limited site plan approval hearing for four 60-foot LED light poles at Weston High School's Field 1. Planning Board Chair Leslie Glynn pressed HYM on the project's 18 proposed on-site affordable units, saying "I would assume we're looking at at least another 5% somewhere else." Housing Trust Chair Tom Tinko of 66 Woodchester Drive called the on-site approach the wrong strategy, arguing an off-site commitment "would have a much bigger impact" on the town's Subsidized Housing Inventory. The field lighting continuation was procedural — a mailing to abutting planning boards went out one day late — and the board expects to close and approve that hearing July 1. The board also voted four to zero, with Adrienne Giske abstaining on prior-proceedings grounds, to approve a grading and tree removal amendment at 50 Willard Road and a decision memo for the Woods Restaurant at 358 Boston Post Road.
