• Smokers buying standard 20-cigarette packs will see their price jump $2 per pack, for a total tax of $3.33.
WINCHESTER â The cityâs Planning Commission has recommended approval of a new bed and breakfast on Amherst Street, but only after dialing back the prospective ownerâs goal of hosting up to 125 outdoor events on the property every year.
Following a public hearing on Tuesday that highlighted concerns from neighbors about the proposed business, the commission voted 6-0-1 to recommend that City Council approve a conditional-use permit (CUP) allowing the bed and breakfast to operate in a Residential Office (RO-1) zoning district with a Historic Winchester District overlay.
The abstention came from Commissioner Leesa Mayfield, who lives adjacent to the 148-year-old Selma Mansion at 514 Amherst St. An ownership group headed by developer Bill McIntosh wants to convert the home into a seven-room bed and breakfast.
