Zoning Commission Hearing

Said map amendment would amend "Map 7B/7D, Allston Brighton Neighborhood District", by adding the designation "D", indicating a Planned Development Area overlay to approximately 1.2 acres(+/- 50,227 square feet) of land generally bounded by Western Avenue to the north, Bertram Street to the south, North Harvard Street to the west, and Travis Street to the east. Said Development Plan would allow for the demolition of the existing buildings on the Project Site, and to construct a pedestrian oriented, mixed-use building including residential uses, ground-floor retail, restaurant, and service uses, parking and loading uses and other uses. The Proposed Project comprises an approximately seven-story building, containing approximately 200,000 square feet of Gross Floor Area, including residential space (approximately 274 units), ground-floor retail, restaurant, service uses, and accessory spaces, shared indoor and outdoor amenity spaces for residents, served by parking located within the building.

Said text amendment would amend Articles 2 (Definitions), 37 (Green Buildings) and 80 (Development Review and Approval) with respect to the adoption of Net Zero Carbon zoning.
