Councilors Vote Down Proposed Zoning Amendment Affecting East End Church Site
WATERTOWN – The Watertown City Council voted down a developer’s proposed zoning amendment to apply the Religious & School Overlay District (RSOD) at 126-134 Templeton Parkway in Watertown. The site is home of the former Belmont Baptist Church.
The RSOD allows developers to purchase and apply new uses to historic properties. However, most councilors believe that the developer, Eaglebrook Capital LLC, did not present a plan that addressed what they would do with the church building.
