The Boston Zoning Commission typically meets on the first Wednesday (and third, when applicable) of each month to rule on proposed amendments to the Boston Zoning Code. The Commission also votes on Institutional Master Plans and Planned Development Areas in accordance with Article 80. Anyone may petition the Zoning Commission to adopt a zoning change. Following community engagement, Planning Department staff bring zoning change recommendations to the BPDA Board of Directors for approval and then petition the Zoning Commission. Once the Zoning Commission adopts a zoning amendment, it is sent to the Mayor for approval and then is codified in the Zoning Code.

Zoning Commission hearings are conducted virtually through Zoom. The public can participate in hearings by registering for and attending Zoom meetings and verbally offering public comment. The public can also send written comments by email to [email protected] or by post to 1 City Hall Square, 9th Floor, Boston, MA 02201

 

9:00 AM Text Amendment Application No.528
Map Amendment Application No.790
Article 50 and Map 6A/6B/6C
Roxbury Neighborhood District

Said map amendment would amend “Map 6A/6B/6C, Roxbury Neighborhood District,” by changing the existing zoning of several parcels of land from “MFR”, indicating a Multifamily Residential subdistrict to “Newmarket IDA”, indicating the Newmarket Industrial Development Area in the northwest portion of the Boston Water and Sewer Commission (“BWSC”) Lots (parcel IDs: 0801878010, 0801854010, 0801843000, 0801844000, 0801845000, 0801846000, 0801847000, 0801848000, 0801849000, 0801850000, 0801851000, 0801852000, and 0801853000) and make all the BWSC Lots eligible for Planned Development Areas.  Said text amendment would amend Article 50 (Roxbury Neighborhood District), specifically Sections 50-12 (Establishment of Area Within Which Planned Development Areas May be Permitted) and 50-14 (Planned Development Areas:  Use and Dimensional Regulations) to allow these parcels to be Planned Development Area eligible.
