For
my
colleagues
that
before
we
get
started,
we
have
at
minimum
one
two,
three
four
five
six
documents
to
kind
of
present
to
the
community,
and
so
what
I'd
hope
to
do
is
go
through
each
one
open
up
a
document
that
you've
received
and
it's
the
time
for
the
community
to
respond
to
kind
of
what's
before
them
and
really
let
them
have
that
moment
to
say
what
they
like.
What
they
don't
like,
ask
any
questions
that
they
have
and,
of
course
we
we
would
go
through
our
round,
but
really
it's
it's.
C

A

B
B
Everyone's
in
excellent
all
right
good
afternoon,
everyone,
I'm
city,
council,
lydia,
edwards,
chair
of
the
committee
on
government
operations,
it's
thursday
october,
8th
and
we're
here
today
for
a
virtual
working
session
on
docket
0232
order
for
hearing
regarding
a
text
amendment
for
the
boston
zoning
code
relative
to
affirmatively,
furthering
fair
housing.
I'm
the
sponsor
of
this
matter
and
was
referred
to
the
committee
on
january
29.
The
committee
held
working
sessions
on
this
matter
on
february
27th
april
22nd
june
19
and
july
14th.
B
These
were
all
publicly
available
and
noticed
for
all
to
participate
in
in
accordance
with
governor
baker's
march
12th
executive
order.
We
are
modifying
our
meetings
to
allow
to
acknowledge
the
public
health
crisis
that
we're
in,
but
also
to
allow
us
to
do
our
jobs.
The
public
may
watch
this
meeting
via
live
stream
at
www.boston.gov
city
council
dash
tv
will
also
be
rebroadcasted
at
a
later
date
on
comcast
8,
rcn82
verizon
1964.
B
written
comments
may
be
sent
to
the
committee
email
at
ccc.go
at
boston.gov
and
will
be
made
a
part
of
the
record
and
available
to
all
counselors
at
the
previous
working
sessions.
The
committee
discussed
the
intent
of
the
proposal,
which
is
essentially
to
ingrain
equity
and
equity
analysis
in
our
planning
process.
B
B
The
process
to
get
it
done
involves
the
city
council,
passing
it
out
of
the
city
council,
and
then
the
bpda
would
ultimately
file
the
hopefully
the
city
council's
version
of
this,
with
the
bpda
for
the
board
to
pass,
and
then
ultimately,
for
the
zoning
commission
to
make
part
of
the
zoning
code.
So
this
is
again
very
exciting.
There's
many
many
aspects
to
this
key
components
of
this
amendment
include
the
actual
amendment
draft
to
support
that
amendment.
B
B
Essentially,
the
process
would
be
for
someone
who
wants
to
develop
and
they're
using
under
article
80
or
pda
process.
They
would
come
in
and
they,
along
with
having
to
file
the
normal
documents,
would
also
have
to
give
an
assessment
tool,
explain
what
they
plan
to
do
to
affirmatively
further
for
housing.
B
The
committee
would
look
at
what
they
plan
to
do.
This
is
a
new
committee
we're
creating
and
they
would
assess
that
and
work
with
them
and
keep
going
back
and
forth,
but
also
present
to
them.
This
is
the
community
you're
buying
in
the
historical
exclusion
of
that
community,
as
well
as
the
displacement
moment
or
crisis
that
the
community
is
in,
and
this
is
where
you
chose
to
develop.
B
B
B
B
Am
I
correct?
Okay,
moving
into
other
folks
who
are
here
today
we
have
been
joined
by
tomorrow,
small
from
nia
we've
been
joined
by
nadine
cohen,
from
greater
boston,
legal
services.
We've
been
joined
by.
Let's
see,
I
think,
matthew
wishnov
is
also
with
margaret
turner
from
greater
boston
legal
services.
Correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
and
no
I'm
sorry
alvaro.
Lima
we've
also
been
joined
by
alberto
lima,
from
the
bpda
and
tim
davis
from
dnd.
A
B
Get
everyone
else
I
have
also
from
what
I
can
call
hajjar
logan
is
from
the
community
an
advocate
for
fair
housing
and
those
are
the
names
and
titles
that
I
know
of.
If
I
didn't
announce
you,
that's
not
for
my
lack
of
finding
you
important
either
I
couldn't
read
your
name
or
didn't
know
the
organization.
B
We
will
take
each
document
and
we
will
go
through
counsel,
can
ask
whatever
questions
or
thoughts,
and
then
we
will
go
right
down
the
list
of
folks
who
may
have
questions
or
thoughts
or
suggestions.
I
want
to
thank
you
thank
nyop
and
margaret
turner
both
actually
turned
in
written
kind
of
suggestions,
so
we
might
lead
off
with
you
guys
kind
of
breaking
down
your
thoughts
on
the
amendment
first,
okay,
so
for
my
colleagues,
if
you
have
any
brief
opening
remark,
I
will
go
in
order
of
arrival.
Counselor
flynn.
D
Thank
you,
council,
edwards
I'll,
be
very
brief.
Just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
your
leadership
on
this
important
proposal.
I
100
supported
it's
critical,
that
we
have
a
equity
analysis
as
we're
determining
development
projects
in
boston,
so
boston
will
always
be
a
city
of
immigrants,
of
of
of
people
that
are
struggling
to
afford
a
house
or
an
apartment
communities
of
color.
D
But
I
like
the
idea
that
we're
able
to
be
inclusive
in
making
sure
that
boston
will
always
be
a
welcoming
city,
not
just
for
the
wealthy
there's,
always
housing
for
them,
but
the
low-income
residents,
our
seniors
persons
with
disabilities
immigrants,
so
whatever
we
can
do
to
further
strengthen
that.
That's
where
I'm
at
so
again
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
council
edwards
for
your
leadership
on
this
issue.
C
C
Does
it
mean
for
it
to
be
real?
What
does
it
mean
for
it
to
be
implementable
and
and
just
consistent,
something
that
we
can
really
build
into
all
of
our
processes?
So
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
work
together
with
vpda
and
dnd
and
your
office
and
all
the
advocates
on
this,
and
I'm
excited
for
the
conversation
today.
So
thanks
so
much
thank.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
leadership
on
this
very
important
issue.
It
is
it
is,
it's
been
a
long
time
coming
and
I
hope
that
we
can.
We
can
advance
this
to
its
to
its
conclusion
and
make
it
a
way
that
we
evaluate
fair
housing
in
the
city
and
and
use
it
as
a
tool
to
help
us
be
a
more
equitable
and
inclusive
city
across
in
all
of
our
neighborhoods
across
the
city.
So
thank
you
so
much.
E
B
B
Twice
three
times:
okay,
so
now
we're
going
to
go
to
these
suggestions
or
the
walkthrough
or
questions
that
the
stakeholders
have,
since
we
really
appreciate
niop
being
here
today-
and
we
haven't
heard
from
them
in
previous
working
sessions
tomorrow.
If
you
want
to
go
ahead
and
kind
of
explain
who
niop
is
and
then
go
right
to
the
amendment.
I'd
appreciate
that.
J
J
J
The
comments
we
filed
today
again
focused
they
were
a
little
technical
in
nature.
But
overall,
you
know
we're
supportive
of
the
amendment
and
so
the
comments
we
submitted
kind
of
dug
into
the
exact
language
of
the
amendment
itself
and
suggested
a
couple
of
changes
just
to
provide
the
clarity
and
predictability
that
is
so
incredibly
important
for
real
estate
developers.
J
A
multi-party
agreement
would
be
much
more
challenging
and
time
consuming
to
negotiate,
and
it
really
could
significantly
delay
the
projects
without
any
added
benefits,
so
really
just
to
avoid
needless
delay
and
provide
that
predictability
and
to
conform
with
the
amendments
the
pda
referenced
later
on.
In
the
zoning
amendment,
we
suggested
that
the
ore
shall
require
the
applicant
portion
of
that
sentence.
Be
cut
so
now
would
simply
read.
J
The
cooperation
agreement
shall
also
include
provisions
requiring
the
proponent
to
comply
with
fair
housing
laws
and
commitments,
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing,
and
it
goes
on
so
that
really
was
our
our
key
focus
on
that
one.
Just
to
make
it
clear
that
it's
it's
one
agreement
versus
you
know
two
different
types
of
options
there
and
then
our
second
comment
was
on
the
affh
assessment.
So
throughout
the
zoning
amendment
it's
referred
to
as
a
few
different
things.
It's
talked
about
as
the
afh
assessment
component,
the
affh
assessment,
the
affh
displacement
assessment.
J
J
The
third
section
of
our
comments
that
we
submitted
this
morning
focus
on
the
review
and
approval
of
plan
development
area
development
plans
or
plan
development
area
master
plans.
We
obviously
support
the
inclusion
of
affh
assessments
in
the
pda
plan,
review
and
approval
process.
The
proposed
amendments
do
require
some
revisions
to
ensure
that
clarity
is
there
and
to
recognize
that
amendments
to
the
pda
plans,
many
of
which
are
often
technical
or
minor
in
nature,
may
merit
different
treatment
than
initial
pda
plans
or
more
material
amendments.
J
A
J
Okay,
so
the
proposed
amendment
provides
a
project
seeking
pda
master
planner
development
plan.
Approval
are
required
to
comply
with
the
assessment
problem
process,
regardless
of
whether
they
are
subject
to
article
adb,
large
project
review,
and
we
kind
of
talked
about
the
fact
that,
as
a
practical
matter,
nearly
all
pda
projects
are
subject
to
large
project
review
and
we'll
have
complied
with
the
affh
assessment
process
immediately
prior
to
our
conjunction
with
pda
plan,
submission
and
review.
J
So
we
then
decide
to
go
on
and
suggest
some
edits
that
would
provide
again
that
clarity.
In
addition,
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
projects
meet
afh
goals
by
other
reasonable
measures
described
in
the
assessment.
This
addition
is
particularly
necessary
for
commercial
projects
which
cannot
further
afh
goals
through
the
production
of
housing.
So
we
kind
of
did
a
markup
of
the
pda
master
plans
and
development
plans
section
that
talks
about.
J
If
it
hasn't
already
been
satisfied
as
part
of
article
80
large
project
review,
then
they
shall
submit
such
components
along
with
the
filing
of
the
plan,
pursuant
to
article
abc,
that
was
that
section.
Then
we
went
on
to
our
second
layer
sort
of
level
of
comments
on
pda
and
this
talks
about
governing
procedures
for
the
adoption
of
pda
plans.
It
states
has
currently
drafted
bpda
shall
approve
conditionally
approve
or
disapprove
a
plan.
J
Pda
plan
submitted
by
a
project
proponent
for
review
and,
in
the
case
of
approval,
petition
the
zoning
commission
to
approve
the
pda
plan
no
later
than
60
days
after
its
filing
the
docket.
However,
the
ordinance
amends
the
existing
language
to
read
no
sooner
than
60
days.
Unfortunately,
it
doesn't
provide
any
outside
time
limit
for
approval,
conditional
approval
or
disapproval.
So
this
change
to
the
timing
for
bpa
action
creates
a
significantly
indefinite
review
period,
and
this
is
not
just
for
new
pda
plans,
but
for
amendments
to
existing
pda
plans.
J
This
could
also
include
those
p
amendments
that
could
be
very
minor
in
nature,
and
this
really
would
create
enormous
uncertainty,
not
knowing
when
basically
time
is
up.
So
in
response
to
that,
we
proposed
a
change
that
would
state
now,
instead
of
no
sooner
than
60
days,
we
change
that
to
no
later
than
90
days
after
the
bpda
has
received
pda
development.
Planner
pda
master
plan
filed
pursuant
to
blah
blah
blah,
so
that
was
that
one
and
then
moving
on.
J
We
talk
about
amending
section,
80
c-7
amendment
of
planned
development
area
plans
and
the
proposed
change
there
to
the
process
review
and
approval
amendments
to
pda
plans
unnecessarily
departs
from
current
procedures.
It
mandates
an
affha
assessment
review
that
may
be
inappropriate
for
some
pda
plan
amendments,
especially
minor
ones.
Pda
plans
are
project
specific.
J
So
while
the
bpda
may
assess
whether
a
pda
plan
amendment
sufficiently
addresses
the
affh
component
of
article
adb
and
article
adc
review
and
may
conditionally
approve
such
an
amendment,
the
bpda
would
not
offer
further
amendment
to
opponent's
pda
plan
amendment,
as
noted
above
section
80c.
7
should
also
allow
amendments
to
pda
plans
that
are
minor
in
nature
and
thus
do
not
merit
extensive
bpda
or
community
deliberations
to
proceed
sooner
than
90
days.
J
In
order
to
allow
projects
in
various
stages
of
the
review
process,
to
continue
to
move
forward.
The
zoning
amendment
should
contain
transition
provisions
stating
that
the
new
requirements
will
apply
to
projects
flying
a
letter
of
intent
under
article
adb
after
the
zoning
amendment
and
the
other
key
documents
required
to
implement
the
assessment
process
are
finalized
and
approved
by
the
bpda
and
zoning
commission
as
applicable,
and
those
are
are
really
our
key
comments
there.
So
I
think
about
six
different
things
that
we
highlight
in
there.
J
B
B
For
those
who
are
again
just
joining,
we,
you
just
heard
from
nia
and
their
thoughts
on
document
number
two,
which
is
the
actual
zoning
amendment
language.
Our
goal
today
is
to
have
community
members
and
stakeholders
respond
to
and
and
and
tell
us
their
concerns
or
ask
questions
or
give
suggestions
for
documents
that
we've
been
working
on
for
the
better
part
of
this
entire
year.
B
So
so
with
that
being
said,
there
had
been
two
organizations
that
submitted
suggestions,
and
I
just
had
my
app
go
through
theirs
and
I'm
going
to
have
gbls
go
through
their
suggestions
again
just
for
the
amendment.
We're
only
talking
about
the
actual
zoning
amendment
right
now
for
my
colleagues
that
just
joined
council
o'malley,
council
mejia
and
councillor
janie,
knowing
the
goal
today
is
to
really
hear
from
the
stakeholders
and
and
their
suggestions,
I'm
still
wanting
to
hear
or
opening
the
floor
for
you
to
do
any
brief
opening
remarks.
K
K
Combating
issues
related
to
displacement
and
opening
up
opportunities
for
low-income
residents
to
live
in
neighborhoods
throughout
the
city
and
and
work
with
groups
on
fair
housing
issues,
and
many
of
the
groups
are
represented
here
today
and
we
so
much
appreciate
all
of
their
hard
work
and
also
councilor
edwards
and
the
city
council's
hard
work
on
this
set
of
issues
which
is
extremely
important
so
just
to
go
through
through
comments
that
we
submitted
and
we'll
submit.
The
comments.
K
So
we
would
we're
asking
that
the
in
that
definition,
the
language
after
the
word
opportunity
and
the
seventh
line
be
taken
out.
It's
that
has
to
do
more
with
how
the
city
is
going
to
be
implementing
affirmatively,
furthering
fair
housing
and,
and
so
it's
appropriate
elsewhere
in
the
in
the
draft,
but
the
the
definition
we
should
stick
with
the
but
I've.
You
know,
with
the
the
most
definitive
definition
of
of
affirmatively,
furthering
fair
housing,
then
in
the
definition
of
meaningful
actions.
K
In
that
definition,
we
also
suggest
to
delete
the
language,
after
the
words
affirmatively
furthers
fair
housing
in
the
fourth
line,
for
the
same
reason
that
we
suggest
leaving
the
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
definition
as
it
was
in
the
original
draft
that
the
additional
language
only
focuses
on
particular
components
of
affirmatively,
furthering
fair
housing
and
sort
of
narrows
it.
So
we
would
prefer
just
to
use
the
term
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing,
with
all
of
the
components
that
that
entails.
K
On
the
issue
of
the
the
the
definition
of
the
boston
interagency,
fair
housing
development
committee,
when
we
have
discussed
this
with
the
folks
from
the
community
and
our
clients,
there's
a
strong
feeling
that
it's
important
for
that
agency
to
be
subject
to
the
open
meeting
laws
and
that
also
that
there
be
some
public
hearing
requirements
in
in
the
process
that
the
agency
uses.
So
that
the
there
is
a
opportunity
for
public
comment
and
to
understand.
K
We
have
some
relatively
minor
comments
in
the
definition
of
protected
classes.
We
think
it's
important
before
the
words
civil
rights
and
fair
housing
laws
where
it
talks
about
protected
classes
pursuant
to
civil
rights
and
fair
housing,
laws
that
that
that
that
specifically
state
federal
state
and
local,
fair
housing
laws.
So
there's
no
misunderstanding
that
we
are
including
not
just
massachusetts,
chapter
151
b,
state
law,
but
also
boston,
local
law
and
federal
law.
There
and.
K
We
suggested
putting
in
some
some
language
at
the
beginning,
this,
like
the
goal
that
this
is
the
goal
of
the
city
of
boston,
to
create
and
preserve
in
the
development
process.
Affirmatively
integrated
communities.
So
you
know
in
the
development
process
you
wanted
both
as
you're
envisioning
new
communities.
K
This
may
not
be
the
exact
best
language,
but
something
that
says
something
like
unfettered
by
economic
segregation
or
unimpeded
by
economic
segregation,
with
the
idea
that
that
we
we
understand
that
there
are
economic
differences
between
the
general
population
and
members
of
protected
classes
and
in
order
to
include
and
have
communities,
be
affirmatively
integrated
and
to
have
be
able
to
have
a
diverse
set
of
people.
You
have
to
be
looking
at.
K
Then,
in
that,
in
the
paragraph
having
to
do
with
section
8880-8-5,
which
is
about
cooperation
agreements
in
that
language,
the
language
is
terrific.
The
the
one
thing
is
that
it
it
refers
to.
It
says
mitigation
options
within
the
affh
assessment
shall
address
affirmative
marketing,
the
participation
of
protected
classes
and
strategies
for
promoting,
racially
ethnically
and
economically
integrated
communities
and
including,
but
not
limited
to
strategies
to
address
affordability,
prevention
of
displacement
and
integration
of
communities
facing
language,
isolation
or
barriers.
K
We
think
the
word
strategies
is
too
indefinite
to
to
encompass
what
we
is
really
required
here,
that
that
word
should
be
commitments
so
just
indicating
that,
in
the
cooperation
agreement
there
will
be
commit
since
by
the
proponent,
to
address
these
these
issues,
then
sorry.
This
is
going
on
too
long,
but.
K
K
When
the
obama
administration
created
their
new
regulation,
they
created
the
requirement
for
a
new
document
called
an
assessment
of
fair
housing,
and
even
though
the
obama
administration's
regulation
is
unfortunately
suspended
and,
and
hopefully
temporarily,
the
city
has,
to
its
very
very
great
credit
and
the
bpda
as
well
has
been
working
with
community
members
to
develop
an
assessment
of
fair
housing.
So
we
think
the
word
assessment
of
fair
housing
should
be
included
there,
so
that
that
the
the
end
product
assessment
of
fair
housing.
A
K
So
there's
similar-
I
don't
know
if
you
want,
I
have
just
a
few
more
things,
but
I
but
they're
similar
concepts,
I'm
in
different
places.
We
have
suggested
adding
language
about
disproportionately
displacing
members
of
protected
classes
and
also
the
idea
of
ensuring
the
inclusion
of
members
of
protected
classes
in
areas
that
might
otherwise
be
segregated.
If
there's,
if
there's
not
some
assurance
of
some
economic
diversity
and
affordability,.
B
Yeah,
you
don't
need
to
go
into
those
specifics.
I
will
note,
though,
just
looking
at
the
the
the
one
comment
that
you
have,
that
it's
wonderful
you
made
the
60-day
time
period
of
waiting
is
actually
just
in
a
direct,
I
would
say
yeah
direct
counter
to
niops
kind
of
looking
or
you
know,
for
the
90
day.
Basically,
there
are
two
different
approaches.
The
language
is
proposed
is
a
60
day
shall
not
happen
sooner
than
60
days.
B
Gbls
thinks
it's
wonderful
and
thinks
it's
great
and
then
nyap
is
saying
that
it
doesn't
really
end
the
sentence,
and
so
it's
we're
thinking,
they're
thinking
more
of
shall
happen
no
later
than
90
days.
So
that's
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
for
folks,
that's
a
major
the
difference.
Nyapp's
comments
really
didn't
deal
with
a
lot
of
the
definitions.
K
Could
I
just
just
to
say
something
about
the
issue
of
timing?
Is,
I
would
just
note
60
days
or
even
90
days
is
a
very
short
amount
of
time
to
accomplish
what
needs
to
be
accomplished
to
to
to
incorporate
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing,
and
it
has
been,
for
example,
very
difficult
for
the
city
and
bpda
to
incorporate
members
of
the
community.
Who
are
not
english
speakers,
and
you
know
it
is.
It
is
important
to
extend
the
period
of
time.
Even
if
you
pick
a
you
say
that
there
has
to
be
some
specific
time
limit.
B
So.
I
appreciate
that
in
terms
of
other
folks
who-
and
I
know
bpda,
I'm
sure
you
have
a
lot
of
responses
to
this,
but
in
order
to
allow,
I
think
for
folks
to
give
all
their
opinions,
I'm
really
going
to
kind
of
close
myself
down
counselor
bach
2
and
the
bpda,
and
really
ask
to
the
folks
who
are
not
in
those
categories
of
of
aforementioned
folks.
Do
they
have
any
other
thoughts
or
suggestions
or
questions
about
the
zoning
amendment,
those
in
the
community.
B
L
Please
I
don't
have
specific
comments,
but
I
just
really
wanted
to
say
that
the
city
of
boston
has
this
very
unique
opportunity
to
really
be
in
the
forefront
of
a
city's
obligations
to
affirmatively
further
fair
housing,
and
I
thank
you,
councillor
edwards,
for
your
leadership
on
this
and
the
other
city
councillors,
and
I
really
hope
that
we
take
this
opportunity
and
do
not
have
to
face
another
community
like
the
seaport
as
we
move
forward,
and
this
is
something
that
could
have
lasting
impact
decades
from
now.
So
I
just
wanted
to
support
the
general
concept.
I
B
B
F
I
have
it's
a
question.
I
I
I'm
okay,
be
really
mindful
of
the
space
that
I'm
in
I'm
just
curious.
Are
we
gonna?
Is
this
the
part
where
we're
gonna
be
able
to
ask
questions
around
accountability
like
a
dashboard
for
bpta?
Is
this?
Is
this
the
section
that
we're
going
to
start
talking
about
now,
or
or
or
not?
I'm
just
curious.
B
B
I
appreciate
that
I
will
put
that
down
to
discuss
the
dashboard
very
well
okay,
so
going
in
for
the
advocates
that
are
here
again
dealing
with
this
particular
document.
You're
free
to
raise
your
blue
hands
and
I
saw
hajar
raised
her
physical
hand
and
I
know
tamara.
You
said
you
had
some
thoughts
in
in
a
previous
email
about
the
assessment
tool
or
nyopted.
B
B
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
So
hajjar
I'll
start
with
you
and
everybody
else
who
has
a
written
or
has
a
thought
right
now
again
about
this
tool
before
you
go,
let
me
break
it
very
quickly
down.
This
is
a
tool
that
we
use
by
developers
to
explain
who
they
are,
how
they're
approaching
the
community
and
how
they
ex
they
are
going
to
affirmatively
further
for
housing.
This
tool
is
necessary
to
have
it
all.
In
writing.
B
I
also
think
it's
a
guide
guiding
tool
for
a
lot
of
developers
who
may
not
know
honestly
how
to
do
this
and
have
not
asked
themselves
these
questions
about
where
their
tenants
there
before.
How
are
they?
How
were
they
asked
to
leave?
Did
they
leave
forcibly
through
eviction?
How
has
their
process
helped
or
not?
Helped
people
stay
in
the
community?
It
looks
at
commercial
displacement.
B
It
looks
at
all
sorts
of
ways
in
which
they're
they're
basically
asked
to
help
heal
along
with
this
document.
When
this
is
returned,
they
will
be
getting
an
assessment
and
we'll
look
at
this:
the
historic
exclusion
and
also
displacement,
but
right
now
this
is
kind
of
the
survey
given
to
the
developers
that
they
will
respond
to
okay,
so
hijar
you
had
some
some
thought.
H
A
E
H
A
B
H
B
B
A
B
M
Yeah,
I
just
I
just
want
to
say
say
something
general,
I
think
which
I'm
not
supposed
to
say,
but
I'm
going
to
this
is
just
a
really
important
tool
and
I
am
just
really
thrilled
about
this
tool
and
this
whole
process
and
just
feels
so
hopeful
and
we're.
You
know
the
fermented
furthering
fair
housing
community
advisory
committee.
Are,
you
know,
working
closely
and
really
going
through
these
documents,
and
you
know
appreciate
margaret's
like
point
by
point,
and
we
are
you
know
we
are.
M
Definitely
you
know
giving
comments
more
specific,
but
this
tool
is
really
important
and
this
is
just
gonna,
so
change
the
the
tool
and
the
whole
amendment
is
just
gonna,
so
change
how
business
is
done
in
the
city
and
especially
again
like
with
what's
going
on
in
the
in
the
federal
space,
but
also
what's
going
on
here.
You
know
in
terms
of
who's
getting
displaced,
and
this
this
this
is
really
exciting.
I
just
hope
that
we
can
get
there
soon,
because
we
desperately
need.
F
K
K
It
is
a
super
important
strategy
and
and
policy
and
program
to
be
developed,
but
at
the
same
time,
especially
when
you're
talking
about
a
very
large
piece
of
land
being
developed,
that
it
would
be
really
wonderful
to
encourage
partnerships
between
for,
say,
for-profit,
residential
developers
and
land
trusts
or
non-profit,
affordable
housing
developers
or
to
have
you
know,
for-profit
residential
developers
get
into
the
business
of
developing
affordable
housing.
So
that
you
know
not
only
are
we
using
inclusionary
development
but
we're
also
using
others.
K
Other
resources
like
tax
credits,
tax,
exempt
bond
financing,
you
know
section
eight
or
other
mrvp,
other
subsidies,
and-
and
so
I
think
that
should
be
included
there,
and
I
I
know
in
some
situations
the
project
is
not
large
enough
to
do
that,
but
it
should
be
something
that's
always
thought
of.
How
can
we
increase
the
amount
of
affordability
even
beyond?
B
Agreed,
I
think-
and
this
is
where
I
will
turn
to
sonal-
to
make
sure
I'm
clear
on
this,
but
a
lot
of
those
suggestions
we
have
with
the
committee
that
are
beyond
idp
and
will
be
encouraged
by
the
committee,
but
maybe
it
makes
sense
to
make
a
reference
to
those
lists.
The
committee
has
the
marketing
the
supplemental,
the
article
80,
because
it's
a
comprehensive
list
and
another
document
that
we
might
want
to
refer
to
that
they
could
look
to
and.
L
G
We
have
some
redundancy,
we
have
some
redundancy,
but
as
long
as
not
consistent,
I
think
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense
absolutely
because
if
you
see
one
document
without
the
other,
it
feels
disjointed,
but
together,
even
if
it's
repetitive,
I
think
it's
helpful
to
have
to
have
it
there.
So
we
were
being
very
disciplined
and
kind
of
keeping
things,
and
this
is
the
question,
but
now
now
that
we
have
kind
of
a
big
collection.
B
B
Right-
and
I
think
I
think
you'll
be
very
excited-
many
of
the
advocates
will,
from
the
the
robust
list
of
things
we're
coming
up
with
and
and
and
to
know
beyond,
and
just
this
just
for
everyone's
education
beyond
the
housing
of
the
amendment
text.
These
documents
are
intended
to
be
living
documents
right,
so
they
we
expect
them
to
change
and
grow
and
for
thought
processes
to
be
put
into
these
documents
that
we're
discussing
now.
B
These
are
aids
and
assessment
tools
that
we
expect,
like
any
other
tool,
will
use
modern
day,
science,
assessment
and
understanding
of
equity,
and
it
will
change.
The
amendment
is
what's
going
into
the
law,
but
these
tools
we
expect
community
and
people
that
they
are
going
to
be
living
documents.
Am
I
correct
and
all
my
summary?
L
I
just
had
one
question
in
section:
2
addressing
displacement:
we
ask
are
occupants
or
tenants
currently
inhabiting
any
building
on
the
project
site,
and
I
wonder
if
we
shouldn't
be
asking
there
whether
any
of
those
are
affordable,
housing
units
and
what
the
racial
composition
of
those
units
are.
Because
if
we're
talking
about
addressing
displacement,
I
think
we
would
want
to
know
that
I
know
later
on.
B
B
My
apologies,
I
I
was
just
checking
if
there's
any
other
thoughts
on
the
assessment
tool.
Right
now,
we
are
going
to
now
move
to
the
committee
document
describing
the
the
committee
that
will
be
assessing
these
tools
and
working
with
the
developer
and
all
of
the
options,
intervention
options
that
will
be
presented.
A
B
B
B
B
As
soon
as
that
office
is
formally
ratified
and
becomes
a
formal
part
of
the
city
government,
which
requires
the
the
mayor
to
send
that
office
over
to
the
city
council,
so
that
we
can
go
ahead
and
make
that
office
real.
But
we
look
forward
to
it
being
included
in
here
as
well.
So
that's
the
committee.
B
And
then
you
have
certain
recommendations
and
thoughts.
The
committee
will
look
at,
but
essentially
this
is
not
a
vote
and
I
want
that
to
be
clear,
because
a
lot
of
advocates
thought
this
was
a
committee.
That's
going
to
take
a
separate
vote
and
say
path,
not
pass.
This
is
a
process
and
a
conversation.
B
B
B
B
The
determination
that
the
benefit
to
members
of
protected
classes
and
advancement
of
the
goal
has
been
met,
a
determination
that
the
proposed
project
or
pda
will
not
result
in
the
direct,
involuntary
displacement
of
existing
residents,
who
are
members
of
protected
classes
and
the
proposed
project,
a
determination
that,
if
the
proposed
project
or
pda
does
not
meet
the
affh
standards,
additionally,
measured
shall
be
required,
does
not
meet
them.
Additional
measures
shall
be
required,
so
these
are
a
lot
of
the
discussions
that
you
wanted
to
have
with
the
assessment
tool.
B
This
is
where
this
is
going
to
happen
on
these
standards,
so
you
can
look
at
the
composition
of
the
committee,
the
standards
that
they
have
and
all
this
long.
I
think
great
list
of
intervention
options
that
they're
supposed
to
look
at
and
we're
going
to
add
what
you
said
margaret.
I
think
it
was
land,
trust
and
cooperative
tax
lie,
tech,
section
8,
I
think
section
8.
In
there
we
have
article
80
process
and
we
divided.
B
These
buckets
are
just
based
off
of
how
we
thought
they
seem
to
be
best
in
terms
of
grouping,
but
you
have
article
80
options,
which
include
increasing
the
idp
units:
deepening
the
affordability.
Our
number
of
accessible
units
are
required,
but
such
a
going
under
13
volunteers
provide
a
higher
proportional
family
size
units.
B
Then
we
had
the
supplemental
process
options
also
dubbed
by
counselor
bach,
and
I
the
radically
awesome
thoughts
that
should
be
options
establish
a
local
housing,
stabilization
fund,
voluntarily
deed
units,
the
right
of
right
of
first
refusal
voluntarily
subsequent
owner
transfer
fee
agreement,
so
that
if
they
sell
the
buildings
on
that,
they
would
agree
to
a
transfer
fee,
establish
or
contribute
a
neighborhood
housing
acquisition
program
restrict
percentage
of
non
to
of
non-owner
occupant
occupied
units.
The
biggest
concern,
of
course,
is
if
you
build
a
bunch
of
new
condos
or
new
things
that
people
can
buy.
B
We
can't
compete
as
fast
as
some
folks
who
are
coming
outside
of
the
city.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
their
owner
occupied
units
mixed
use
in
local,
small
business,
long-term,
flexible
lease
options,
a
flipping
fee
and
then
other
intervention
enhancements
areas
of
high
displacement,
risk
diversity,
preservation,
preference,
additional
article,
80
process
options.
B
I
think
counselor
bach
is
pushing
for
one
day,
ultimately
having
a
full-on
amendment
to
require
a
minimum
of
20
of
the
units
on
site,
and
so
these
are
all
of
the
things
that
we
are
presenting
or
that
the
committee
will
be
presenting
and
developers
to
see
in
advance
as
ways
to
affirmatively
further
for
housing
it
a
draft.
I
want
to
be
clear
about
that
at
the
top
we're
pushing
the
proponents
to
choose
a
minimum
of
one
option
of
the
article
80
process
options
and
one
option
from
the
marketing
options.
B
I
can
get
ahead
of
some
thoughts
from
the
advocates
wondering
why
it's
just
one.
If
am
I
correct,
if
I'm
yeah,
I
can
see
kathy,
and
I
so
and
margaret
asking
why
it's
just
one
but
that's
kind
of
the
walkthrough
of
the
committee.
I
know
lincoln.
You
wanted
to
have
some
thoughts
on
this
jar,
wanted
to
have
some
thoughts
on
this
and
I'm
sure
other
folks
as
well
tamara.
If
you
have
any
thoughts
at
all
this
just
again,
not
binding
you
to
anything.
I
Yes,
yes,
so
so
my
comment
is
specifically
about
the
bifdc
committee
and
and
so
the
question
our
comment
is:
could
there
be
a
space
to
have
some
kind
of
conversation
about
the
the
composition
of
the
community
to
include
some
community
representation,
and
I
realized
it
probably
would
be
challenging
to
to
ascertain
or
decide
how
you
actually
choose
the
community
representation
this
on
this
body.
But
I
think
what
I
think-
and
this
is
a
really
critical
role-
that
this
this
this
body
is
playing.
I
I
think
it's
it's
a
fantastic
idea
and
that's
a
fantastic
tool
to
have
in
this
in
this
process,
as
we
kind
of
move
to
having
this
kind
of
comprehensive,
fair
housing
policy
across
the
city
of
boston.
So
I
think
it's
an
excellent
body.
I
just
think
to
have
this.
You
know
it's
entirely
a
comprise
of
city
people
and
I
think,
to
kind
of
give
the
committee
some
some
opportunity
to
have
some
some
voice
in
the
decision-making
process.
I
think
would
be
quite
useful.
A
I
J
Okay,
so
just
a
quick
question
actually
more
of
a
comment
on
the
article
80
options
that
are
listed
so
right
now
most
of
those
really
would
apply
to
residential
projects,
so
one
recommendation
might
be
to
add
some
options
for
commercial,
recognizing
that
there
is
that
other
option
bullet
there.
But
you
know
if
there's
anything
there,
that
that
might
make
sense.
That
could
be
one
idea
and
I
just
wanted
to
get
a
better
sense
of
the
supplemental
process
options
and
the
intervention
enhancements.
B
B
This
is
looking
at
you
know,
especially
when
you
you're
marked
in
a
high
displacement
risk
area,
if
you're
in
a
high
historical
exclusion
area
to
really
kind
of
hone.
In
your
responses
I
had
actually
for
folks
education.
We
had
spoken
with
some
stakeholders
in
the
development
community
before
and
part
of
that
conversation
was
saying
this
is
part
of
their
their
process,
of
bringing
them
to
the
table
to
also
help
our
communities
heal
as
well,
and
so
this
was
bringing
them
in
an
organized
way.
We
felt
to
help
prevent
displacement.
B
J
B
H
H
We
need
to
set
a
benchmark
for
when
fair
housing
affirmatively
further
and
fair
housing
goals
are
achieved,
and
while
the
developers
are
choosing
from
these
options,
there
isn't
anything
here
that
specifically
gives
them
a
a
a
place
to
strive
toward,
and
I
would
like
us
to
see.
I
would
like
to
see
us
define
where
they
have
met
a
standard.
B
B
B
So
I
I
I
acknowledge,
I
don't
think
anyone
would
deny
that
we
have
some
work
to
do
so.
I
appreciate
you
for
uplifting
that
and
also
acknowledging
too
there's
been
decades
of
people
trying
to
do
the
work
and
have
have
felt
that
their
efforts,
their
thoughts,
have
either
been
ignored
or
passed
on
paper
and
then
subsequently
forgotten.
H
So
we
have
to
make
sure
that
they
they
understand
their
boundaries
and
parameters
and
that
they're
clear
so
that
they're
budgeting
clearly
and
everything
we're
not
asking
more
of
them
than
we
are
asking
of
ourselves
to
honor
like
we
need
to
both
know
what
the
boundaries
are
in
a
negotiation
right
where
the
state.
What
are
we
trying
to
meet?
What
standards
are
we
trying
to
make?
B
We're
using
factors
as
we'll
see
that
we
think
you
know,
for
the
most
part,
are
indicators
of
highly
vulnerable
communities
that
will
lead
to
displacement,
and
this
is
based
off
of
a
lot
of
different
theories
and
thoughts,
but
we're
doing
our
best
with
the
in
exact
science
of
healing
racial
oppression,
there's
a
there's,
a
more
exact
science
and
how
to
implement
racial
oppression.
I
can
assure
you,
this
country,
our
banking
system,
a
lot
of
our
governance.
B
Our
governments
have
certainly
honed
in
on
that
and
have
phds
in
that,
but
the
the
way
to
undo
that
we
are
still
learning
and
feeling
our
way
through
the
dark.
So
I
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that,
because
I
do
believe
that
there
is
a
lot
of
good
hearts
here,
trying
to
to
do
that.
But
it
is
inexact
at
this
moment.
H
C
Yes
and
count,
madam
chair
I'll,
keep
these
very
brief.
It
was
just
in
response
to
a
few
of
the
things
that
jar
commented
on.
I
just
wanted
to
say.
I
think
I
mean
I
think
what
we're
coming
to
next
is
some
of
the
the
con
the
report
and
context
that
the
bpda
plans
to
give
to
filers,
but
I
think
she's
absolutely
right
that
we
have
to
be
matching
the
kinds
of
interventions
we're
asking
people
to
do
with
the
type
of
context
they're
stepping
into.
A
C
I
think
that's
part
of
the
committee's
role.
I
also
think
it
is
part
of
the
committee's
role
to
ask
folks
to
scale
up
what
they're
doing,
depending
on
the
scale
of
the
project
and
as
you
alluded
to
I'm
strongly
of
the
mind
that
we
should
just
be
putting
making
20
of
idp
the
minimum
for
planned
development
areas
where
we're
typically
creating
a
lot
of
value
through
the
up
sony
of
a
large
area.
C
And
I
also
just
wanted
to
say
to
hajjar
that
one
of
the
things
that
some
of
us
had
discussed
is
the
idea
of
like
it
as
the
committee
and
as
this
process
moves
forward.
Sort
of
developing
some
kind
of
a
guideline
document.
Akin
to
what
dnd's.
Recently
done.
D
d
is
asking
its
affordable
housing
developers
to
do
to
be
a
little
more
aggressive
on
their
the
implementation
of
green
standards,
and
so
they
actually
put
together
like
a
guideline
booklet,
to
kind
of
help.
C
Everybody
understand
what
that
looked
like,
because
people
thought
it
was
prohibitively
expensive
and
impossible
and
then
actually,
once
you
understand
it,
it's
it's
much
more
doable
than
sometimes,
especially
your
smaller
developers
might
realize,
and
so
I
think
I
think
that
just
there's
a
similar
opportunity,
perhaps
here
as
the
process
evolves.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thanks
for
letting
me
insert
myself
there.
F
B
F
B
So
there
could
be
within
our
displacement
which
we're
going
to
go
to
shortly.
Our
displacement,
mapping
and
displacement
analysis
toolkit
looking
at
either
of
those
home
ownership,
an
increase
in
property
taxes
and
value
on
existing
homeowners.
We
can
certainly
look
at
that.
We
definitely
are
looking
at
increases
in
rent,
for
example,
on
tenants
as
a
means
of
pushing
out
certain
economic
economic
classes
of
individuals.
So
we
certainly
could
put
that
in
to
see
how
that
impacts.
Particular
vulnerable
groups.
B
B
H
B
If
you
don't
mind
matthew,
I'm
going
to
break
it
down
for
folks
and
then,
if
you
wanted,
you
might
be
on
deck
to
answer
some
of
the
questions,
but
I
want
folks
to
understand
that
there
are
there's
one
example
of
a
displacement
risk
mask
a
map
map
that
is
really
from
dnd,
but
it's
not
the
exact
document
that
folks
should
be
focused
on.
There
is
the
project
report,
displacement
project
report
working
draft.
B
The
goal
with
these
tools
is
when
a
developer
presents,
I'm
I'm
building
at
123
london
street
that
they
will
receive
a
report
that
looks
within
a
certain
area
around
them
that
zeroes
in
on
the
demographic
and
certain
displacement
factors,
data
around
them
and
historical
exclusion.
Data
around
them
there's
also
a
larger
report
out
of
a
mapping
tool
that
kind
of
pulls
us
up
as
well
that
we
would.
B
Developer
of
123
london
street
would
be
getting
a
report
that
says
this
is
what
we
looked
at
the
amount
of
family
homes,
the
amount
of
folk,
the
displacement
that's
going
on
here,
the
rent
burden.
All
of
these
different
factors
we
looked
at
this
is
what
you
chose
to
buy
into
good,
but
not
going
so
well
all
of
these
different
things-
and
this
is
going
to
be
done
by
the
city-
not
the
developer,
so
it's
just
the
city
is
basically
breaking
it
down
here
you
go
around
in
and
around
your
project.
B
Graph,
it's
a
working
draft,
so
there
are
certain
aspects
of
this.
This
is
not
set
in
stone.
A
quarter
mile
buffer
is
just
an
example
of
you
know
we
needed
to
if
we're
zoning
or
honing
in
we
need
a
certain
area
at
which
to
look
at
we.
We
can't
just
go
neighborhood
specific
because
there,
as
you
know,
there's
even
segregation
within
neighborhoods,
so
what's
happening
and
one
side
of
east
boston
could
be
completely
different
from
another
side
of
east
boston.
B
B
B
It
looks
at
all
of
these
different
kinds
of
things
that
explain,
or
at
least
kind
of
present
the
neighborhood
as
it
is,
and
there
are
factors
again
that
lead
into
that
those
factors
are
on.
The
second
document
called
factors
for
displacement,
mapping
working
draft,
and
I
apologize
if
I'm
breaking
it,
breaking
it
down
too
far.
Mejia
you
let
me
know,
but
these
are
all
different
factors
that
folks
are
looking
at.
B
B
B
Okay,
so
then
there's
the
historic
exclusion-
and
I
want
people
to
understand.
Why
is
it
important
to
look
at
historic
exclusion?
We
understand
displacement
is
more
of
a
right
now.
Current
concern
and
people
are
building
right
now,
but
it's
really
important
to
understand
the
neighborhoods
that
they
inherited
and
why
there
are
policies
put
in
that
purposely
excluded.
Some
groups
are
moving
into
certain
parts
of
boston
and
there
are
factors
that
we
look
at
to
see
how
certain
groups
were
excluded,
and
why
is
that
important?
B
It's
because
this
is
about
the
healing.
This
is
about
the
promotion
of
affirmatively
furthering
for
housing,
so
you
may
be
in
a
diverse
neighborhood,
that's
dealing
with
displacement
and
your
response
to
that
as
a
developer,
and
our
response
is
a
city
to
affirmatively.
Fair
housing
has
a
different
set
of
tool
kits
than
say
a
community
that
may
not
have
a
displacement
crisis
and
is
not
very
diverse,
but
still
is
not
meeting
its
affh
standards.
So
we
need
to
reach
back
in
the
toolbox
and
think
of
other
ways
to
make
sure
that
it
does.
B
Does
that
make
sense,
I'm
taking
your
silence
as
saying
yes
and
so
incredibly
clear,
counsel,
edwards
and
keep
going
I'm
I'm
hearing
all
positive
feedback,
whether
you
guys
say
it
or
not.
So
in
the
historical
exclusion
there
are
certain
things
we're
looking
at
specifically
the
zoning.
What
kind
of
zoning
has
been
there?
One
two
or
three
family
parcel
data,
assessing
how
much
is
the
the
taxes
and
how
much
is
the
property
actually
worth
the
land
work?
B
The
percentages
of
high
income
concentration
percent
of
resident
population
that
it's
non
is
that
is
actually
caucasian
a
percent
of
resident
population
with
a
ba
educational,
attendant
attainment
share
of
units
that
are
owner
homeowner
units
that
are
owned
versus
rented
percent
of
resident.
I
think
that's
actually
twice
and
so
looking
at
all
of
these
different
things
and
and
the
percentage
of
and
the
amount
of
affordable
housing
units
in
the
area,
these
are
all
different
factors
or
different
sources
of
factors.
B
B
F
B
So
we're
looking-
and
this
is
specifically
in
the
historic
exclusion
area,
and
so
some
of
some
factors
that
you
can
find
when
determining
whether
a
neighborhood
or
community
has
been
historically
exclusive,
is
the
concentration
of
wealth,
the
concentration
of
folks
with
higher
degrees.
And
so
that's
what
we
were
looking
at
for
the
determination
of
whether
this
is
a
historically
exclusive
area
versus
a
lot
of
folks.
With
geds
or
folks
who
haven't
attained
high
school
degrees.
They
might
be
highly
concentrated
in
an
area
that
we
would
consider
displacement
from.
B
F
B
E
I
on
yes,
I
I
view
all
of
this
through
the
lens
and
brighton,
and
I
really
one
metric
we
look
at
out
here
is
the
declining
numbers
of
owner
occupied
homes
and
even
though
the
value
of
housing
has
increased
here,
it
doesn't.
It
is
actually
it's
actually
a
factor
in
economic
exclusion,
because
folks,
who
were
able
to
purchase
a
home
25
years
ago,
there's
no
way
in
hell.
They
can
afford
to
buy
a
home
here
anymore.
E
I
also
feel
that
economic
exclusion,
because
we
have
a
neighborhood
that
has
a
lot
of
absentee
landlords
who
buy
up
family
homes
and
rent
them
out
to
students
who
can
afford
to
rent
as
a
group
can
afford
to
pay
much
more
than
a
family.
Can
we
are
finding
a
massively
declining
number
of
families
in
our
neighborhood
and
those
lower
income.
Families
who
are
here
are
having
to
double
up
or
triple
up
to
be
able
to
afford
to
live
in
the
neighborhood.
E
B
It's
that
those
are
great
options
and
metrics.
I'm
sure
that
we
can
consider
adding
the
percentage
of
owner
occupied
versus
you
know
on.
You
know
owned,
but
not
occupied
units,
that's
hard
to
track.
I
know,
but
it's
usually
tracked
through
the
the
taxes
for
the
tax
homeowner
tax
relief,
then
there's
also
the
the
decreasing
number
of
families
as
well
like
looking
at
how
many
percentages
of
families
not
just
household
size,
but
how
many
households
have
families
in
them
and
then
small
businesses.
B
C
J
B
B
B
B
K
Margaret,
yes,
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
expressed
that
this
is
very
wonderful.
It's
it's
just
so
such
tremendous
work
and
thought
the
one
thing.
What
I
I
feel
is
maybe
missing
in
these.
In
these
two
great
sets
of
documents,
there
needs
to
maybe
be
a
third,
which
is
the
question
of
prospective
exclusion
where
you're
looking
at.
If
there's
a
a
piece
of
undeveloped
land
and
there's
a
development
proposal,
you
know,
is
there
a
do?
K
And
maybe
that
gets
looked
at
somewhere
else
in
this
process?
But
it
does
feel
to
me,
like
you
know
those
don't
come
up
as
often
as
other
kinds
of
development
proposals,
but
are
are
extremely
important
when
they
do
and
it
feels
like
there
should
be
some
metrics
around
that
or
maybe
you
would
say,
they're
included
someplace
else,
but
it
it
feels
to
me,
like
that's
a
that's
a
very
important
analysis
to
do.
B
So
margaret
I
could
you
be
talking
about
a
161
acre
ocean
woman
potential
project
by
any
chance
in
your
announcements
and
thoughts,
and
I
I
don't
say
that
to
to
make
fun
of
this.
I
think
that
that's
the
question
is
what
tools
or
toolkits
could
we
have
had
in
advance
of
a
suffolk
downs
or,
if
there's
another
suffolk
downs
to
come
down
the
pike.
Am
I
correct
margaret?
That's
the
question
absolutely.
K
B
So
so,
right,
right
now,
it
would
seem
that
the
straining
mechanism
would
be
through
this
amendment.
You
know:
they're
gonna,
he's
gonna
propose
what
he's
gonna
build,
which
they
would
and
then
the
the
assessment
tool
would
kind
of
break
down
all
of
the
things
now,
a
lot
of
the
assessment
tools
about
what
exists
or
doesn't,
but
a
lot
of
that's
why
it's
so
important
that
the
how
you're
going
to
further
and
create
inclusive
and
affirmatively
integrated
communities,
question
section
of
the
assessment
tool
is
vital.
B
So
when
you
end
up
with
a
open
area,
place
or
low,
incredibly
low
densely
populated
place,
let's
say
it's
a
whole
section
or
let's
say
for
some
reason
I
make
up
another
section
of
whatever
of
land
that
becomes
part
purchased
and
needs
to
be
looked
at.
I
think
the
bayside
center
expo
center
might
be
an
example
right.
B
And
I
I
thought
we
were
doing
that
through
this
process
and
through
the
amendment
design
and
through
these
tools.
But
the
question
I
think
you're.
Having
is
but
these
tools
only
apply
if
there's
people
living
there
now
right
or
they
have
a
historic
exclusion
right
right,
would
it
make
sense-
and
this
is
my
question
the
bpda
to
when
you
have
those
kinds
of
commercial
developments
or
flips
to
residential
or
new
communities,
to
just
expand
the
circle
of
of
your
report
to
expand
this.
You
know
the
report
right
now
is
a
quarter
mile.
B
So
if
you
were
to
expand
the
circle
and
look
at
the
entire,
I
don't
know
the
area
and
doing
historically
exclusion
and
exclusive,
and
you
know
displacement
risk
for
the
entire
for
a
larger
area
around
it.
That's
one
question:
does
it
make
sense
to
kind
of
just
be
as
creative
as
possible
right
now
and
come
up
with
minimum
zoning
that
affirmatively
further
first
housing
on
those
kind
of
empty
large
opportunities.
B
You
just
get
ahead
of
it
and
go
ahead
and
write
it
down
if,
in
the
rare
event
or
in
the
time
where
we
have
x
over
a
certain
amount
of
size
and
there's
nobody
living
there
or
it's
commercial
and
there's
no
one,
you
know
it's
just
buildings
but
they're,
not
residential,
wouldn't
it
be
great,
or
would
it
make
sense
for
the
bpa
to
just
go
ahead
and
get
ahead
of
it
and
say
like
as
council
brock
is
proposing
it's
20
from
jump.
It's
all
these
different
things,
because
there's
nobody
here.
G
So
we
can
certainly
look
at
that.
This
is
a
you
know.
This
is
all
really
really
great
feedback
and
great
input.
That's
you
know,
learning
lessons
from
you
know
from
what
we've
been
doing.
The
recent
recent
history
is
really
really
important,
so
we
can
certainly
take
a
look
at
that
and
thank
you
for
your
comment.
Margaret
that's
very
helpful.
C
Obviously
the
logic
of
this
should
be
that
it
pushes
out
some
perimeter
past
a
pda,
that's
large
enough
to
not
be
a
dot
that
it's
really
its
own
like
zone,
but
so
that
I
think,
when
you're
talking
about
those
comparisons
that
we
saw
in
report
metrics
like
about
about
family
sizes
and
whatever
that,
like
you
know
in
suffolk
towns,
you
would
have
been
talking
about
east
boston,
contexts
right,
even
regardless
of
the
exact
that
you
ought
to
design
the
tool
that
way.
So
that's
how
you
end
up
talking.
C
I
just
wanted
to
raise
counselor
edwards,
I
didn't
know.
If
I
before
we
run,
we
hit
our
witching
hour.
I
just
wanted
to
register
the
fact
that
the
bpda
research
team
is
like
very
behind
the
scenes.
I
mean
all
of
our
city.
Workers
are
in
some
ways
behind
the
scenes,
and
then
I
think
all
of
us
interact
with
the
public
facing
sides
of
the
bpda,
but
the
research
team
is
really
one
of
the
best
regarded
ones
in
the
country
and
they've
done
a
ton
of
work
to
get
here.
B
So
really
appreciate
you
providing
that
space,
so
we
have
about
five
minutes.
So
if
the
the
research
team
wanted
to
kind
of
echo,
add
anything
in
that
time
and
yeah,
my
thanks
is
also
to
you
and
your
hard
work.
So
if
anyone
wanted
to
say
anything
council
braden
just
raised
her
hand,
did
you
have
something
to
say
very
briefly.
E
B
G
It
home,
oh,
I
mean
I
want
to
give
the
research
any
if
you
have
anything
to
say,
but
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
to
everyone
here
to
counselor
edwards
councillor,
bach,
all
the
counselors
on
on
the
on
the
call.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
advocates,
a
big
thank
you
to
to
the
stakeholders,
a
big
thank
you
to
all
the
bpda
and
city
staff.
A
lot
of
work
has
been
put
into
this
and
we're
all
so
committed
to
this.
G
G
This
is
this
is
something
that
we're
all
we
all
can
be
very
proud
of,
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
to
everyone
involved
in
this
for
pushing
us
for
being
thoughtful
in
your
comments
being
thoughtful
in
your
feedback,
and
I-
and
I
just
want
to
stress
the
point
that
there's
been
a
huge,
huge
effort
from
a
lot
of
different
stakeholders,
and
personally
I
want
to
thank
the
the
city
staff.
I
know
you
know
this.
N
I
constantly
I
was
just
I
would
like
to
thank
my
teammate
and
and
and
all
the
other
folks
that
work
very
hard
on
that.
It's
it's.
It
has
been
very,
very
grateful
gratifying
for
us
to
to
be
part
of
such
a
important
work
for
our
city,
and
I
would
like
to
thank
councillor
bark
for
being
part
of
this
group
and
push
us
to
think
hard
and
see
how
we
can
advance
these
these
tools.
It
has
been
really
really
really
a
great
partnership.
Thank
you.
