Description
Said amendment would make changes to Article 26 and Article 8, which set the regulations for the Squares + Streets zoning districts, and Article 3, which establishes all zoning districts in the Code. Changes to the Squares + Streets zoning districts include adding two additional zoning districts to the Squares + Streets districts and proposed changes to the use regulations for all the Squares + Streets districts. These changes would impact all property zoned to an Squares + Streets zoning district in Mattapan, and any future property rezoned to a Squares + Streets district across the city.
