From the meeting
At its August 6, 2026 meeting, the Planning Board recommended denial of rezoning request RZ-26-05 for North Smithfield Office & Industrial Park. 2 acres from R-20A to LI (Light Industrial) along Wilson Mills Road and Lee-Youngblood Road. Staff said the site was previously proposed as the Bellamy residential project and denied by Town Council on October 7, 2025 and February 17, 2026.
The board voted 3-1 to recommend denial because the request was inconsistent with the town plan; no specific development plan was presented.
