What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The city council approved a zoning amendment that allows purpose-built student housing to be built by right in the BA-3 portion of the Boston Avenue Neighborhood Corridor District. This change removes the requirement for a special permit from the Community Development Board. The mayor subsequently announced intentions to veto the amendment.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The amendment alters how large-scale development can proceed in the BA-3 subdistrict, which allows buildings up to five stories by right. The potential veto could create regulatory uncertainty for construction projects in the affected area.
