Neighborhood-Fit Test for Lincoln Variances Has Narrowed, Board Told

The board's legal counsel told members that, under a state change, the neighborhood-character test for dimensional variances now looks only at the specific relief requested, not the whole project. Members questioned whether that leaves room to consider design, and one speaker said it could affect the board's practice of asking for renderings. The issue is expected to come up again when a previously denied application returns.

Especially when it comes to pro-choice legislation, Rhode Island is extremely liberal. In 2019, the state codified the protections of Roe v. Wade into state law, and in 2024, we established legal protections for clinicians and prohibited legal action targeting legally provided health care.
