Description:
At this workshop, community members were introduced to zoning as a tool that guides development and discussed zoning through a community development mindset. The workshop started with a walkthrough of how zoning works in Boston and focused on existing zoning regulations in Roslindale Square and proposed zoning in Squares + Streets zoning districts as context.
The second half of the workshop was an interactive, facilitated activity to think about how proposals for community development projects would have to interact with existing zoning regulations in Roslindale Square. By the end of the workshop, community members engaged in initial conversations about community development goals that will support future engagement conversations on how the mapping of Squares + Streets zoning districts can support those goals.
