After considerable discussion, the Gloucester City Planning Board last week voted to recommend that Mayor and City Council commission the drafting of a full new master plan.

Last month, Board members had discussed the possibility of recommending a revision of the current master plan, which was adopted in the 1990s.

However, after considering input by City Council and more fully discussing the issue, Board members opted to endorse the creation of a brand new plan.

It would incorporate the City\’s new redevelopment areas, as well as the planned changes and anticipated goals of City leaders.

In other business, the Board approved proposed improvements to two homes in the City\’s historic district.

Those properties are located in the 200 block of Monmouth Street and the unit block of North King Street.

The Planning Board will hold its next meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 21, in City Hall, 313 Monmouth St.
