Town Planner Taylor Herman told the News the public is invited to two meetings to discuss zoning changes in order to comply with the new state law regarding dense housing near MBTA stations.  The law would require Winchester to allow 15 units per acre in the downtown near the town’s commuter rail stations. At the moment, Winchester allows 13.4 units per acre downtown and eight single or duplex units per acre in residential districts.
