Description:
The purpose of the zoning amendments is to enable future phases of redevelopment of the Boston Water & Sewer Commission (BWSC) parking lots in Roxbury. This development will include affordable housing at a range of income levels and other community amenities as contemplated in the RFP released in spring 2024 as part of the City’s commitment to use public land for public good.
The draft amendments include: 1) rezoning a portion of the parking lots from Multifamily Residential to Newmarket Industrial Development Area (IDA) and 2) making the parking lots eligible for a Planned Development Area (PDA).
The draft zoning amendments are just one step in the process of redevelopment that started more than a year and a half ago in March 2023, with the disposition process and proposal selection, and will continue with Article 80 review of each potential project. Please see here for more information on the disposition process. Redevelopment of the parking lots will occur in phases. Please see here for more information on Article 80 review of Phase 1.
