The Boston Zoning Commission typically meets on the second or third Wednesday 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

Agenda

9:00 AM Text Amendment Application No. 527
Articles 2 (Definitions), 37 (Green Buildings) and 80 (Development Review and Approval)
Net Zero Carbon Zoning

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.
9:15 AM Map Amendment Application No. 784
First Amendment to the Development Plan for Planned Development
Area No. 136, Fenway Corners (West)

Said map amendment would amend “Map 1Q, Fenway Neighborhood District” by adding the designation “D,” indicating a Planned Development (“PDA”) overlay district to the property known as 96-98 Brookline Avenue. Said First Amendment would amend the boundaries of the Jersey Block within the existing PDA to include the property at 96-98 Brookline Avenue; reflect the resulting revisions to the site plan, the gross floor area and preliminary massing of the buildings to be constructed along Brookline Avenue on the Jersey Block (including on the 96-98 Brookline Avenue parcel); and to amend certain other provisions of the Development Plan.
