From YouTube: Boston Planning & Development Agency Meeting 08-10-17
Description
The Boston Planning & Development Agency Meeting (BPDA) is the municipal planning and development agency for the City of Boston, working on both housing and commercial developments. The Board of Directors meet monthly with developers, businesses and residents to provide direction for development in the City of Boston.
A
B
D
You,
mr.
chairman,
alpha
graphics,
is
a
franchised
chain
of
independent,
owned
and
operated
full-service
print
shops
they've
been
looking
for
South
Boston
location
for
some
time.
We
showed
them
several
spaces
over
the
last
several
months
and
they're
interested
in
leasing,
suite
804
and
twelve
channel
Street.
As
you
said,
the
suite
is
about
seventy
four
hundred
square
feet
and
has
no
air
conditioning
or
office
improvements.
D
They
will
utilize
the
space
for
marketing
design
and
production
and
print
materials
very
similar
to
the
way
the
businesses
at
seaport,
graphics
and
coffee
cloth
operated
out
of
twelve
channel
C
when
they
were
our
tenants,
we're
proposing
an
eight-year
term.
The
rent
will
start
at
$17.50
per
square
foot
triple
net
and
will
increase
by
$1
per
square
foot
up
to
twenty
four.
Fifty
during
the
the
final
year,
the
lease
term,
that's
a
very
good,
as
is
rate
we're
offering.
D
We
are
offering
to
install
an
air
conditioning
system
at
the
at
cost
not
to
exceed
one
hundred
thousand
dollars.
In
the
event,
we
do
that
the
cost
of
the
air
conditioning
will
be
repaid
on
top
of
the
rent
with
interest
during
the
term
of
the
lease,
and
the
minimum
guaranteed
revenue
during
the
lease
term
will
be
will
exceed
1.2
million
dollars.
Okay,.
B
D
You
mr.
chairman
design,
communications
eliminated
as
a
leading
fabricator
of
custom.
Signage
they've
been
located
in
the
Raymond
Flynn
Marine
Park
for
over
20
years
occupying
50,000
square
feet
in
the
building
now
known
as
the
innovation
and
design
building
design.
Communications
can
no
longer
afford
to
keep
such
a
large
manufacturing
footprint
in
that
facility
and
they
have
subsequently
purchased
a
building
in
a
western
suburb.
However,
it's
imperative
to
the
business
model
that
they
maintain
a
Boston
presence,
specifically
South
Boston
presence
we've
been
helping
them
look
for
affordable
three
to
five
thousand
square
foot
space.
D
For
quite
some
time
once
we
decided
to
consider
subdividing
and
existing
20,000
square
foot
space.
On
the
eighth
floor,
12
channel
Street,
we
contacted
design
communications
to
gauge
their
interest
and
I'm
happy
to
report
that
they've
decided
to
rent
the
space
they've
agreed
to
rent
for
a
seven-year
term.
This
suite
is
completely
bare
with
no
improvements
whatsoever.
D
The
seven
year
lease
will
start
at
$13,
a
square
foot
and
increase
annually
up
to
$22
foot.
The
guaranteed
rent
will
exceed
$800,000,
which
is
a
we
think,
a
very
fair
rate
to
both
parties,
especially
considering
the
Edic.
Will
not
be
spending
any
funds
whatsoever,
bringing
the
space
up
to
condition
to
market
okay.
A
B
E
Afternoon,
mr.
chairman
members,
LaHood
Secretary
Polhemus.
This
item
requests
your
authorization
to
issue
an
RFQ,
the
aim
of
determining
the
cost
and
the
feasibility
of
installing
a
central
air-conditioning
system
within
a
22
dry,
gawky
Avenue,
the
building
is
I
think
you
know
dates
back
to
World
War,
two,
it's
built
of
cinder
block
and
brick.
The
building
gets
cold
in
the
winter.
Despite
the
improvements
that
we've
done
and
very
hot
in
the
summer,
the
many
window
window,
the
many
window
units
that
we
use
to
cool
the
building
are
inherently
inefficient
and
costly
to
operate.
E
They're
also
very
noisy.
It's
not
uncommon
to
be
conducting
a
staff
meeting
and
having
with
the
window
unit
on
and
having
to
strain,
to
hear
or
be
heard.
So
we
think
that
all
the
time
a
central
cooling
system
has
the
potential
to
pay
for
itself
and
accordingly,
we
ask
the
board's
approval
to
issue
an
RFQ
for
design
services
in
an
amount
not
to
exceed
$50,000,
and
that
amount
is
included
in
the
capital
budget
for
this
year.
Okay,.
F
A
F
B
All
those
in
favor
aye
opposed
to
a
shadow.
Thank
you
had
item
number
five
request:
authorization
to
advertise,
an
issue,
a
request;
I'm
sorry
request
authorization
to
advertise
an
issue
or
request
for
proposals
for
the
consultant
for
a
consultant
to
perform
a
feasibility

study
regarding
creating
career
pathways
and

the
creative
economy.
Lauren
good.
G
Afternoon,
chairman
Burke
Madam
Secretary
members
of
the
board.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
this
afternoon.
My
name
is
Lauren
Costello
I'm,
the
senior
research
analyst
with
the
mayor's
office
at
Workforce
Development,
the
office
of
workforce
development
is
requesting
to
be
authorized
to
advertise
a
request
for
proposals
for
consultant
to
perform
a
feasibility
study
regarding
creating
career
pathways
in
the
creative
economy.
G
A
little
bit
of
background
in
June
2016
mayor
Walsh,
announced
the
Boston
creates
cultural
plan,
a
ten-year
initiative
that
will
align
public
and
private
resources
to
strengthen
cultural
vitality
of
the
long
term
and
weave
arts
and
culture
into
the
fabric
of
everyday
life.
Cities
with
high
levels
of
creative
capital
and
courage,
reward
and
integrate
imaginative
imaginative
thinking
into
all
specs
of
community
life.
Boston
wants
to
better
understand
the
creative
capital
Boston
and
develop
a
plan
that
will
prioritize,
coordinate
and
align
public
and
private
resources
to
strengthen
this
creative
capital
over
the
long
term.
G
This
venture
would
also
utilize
the
area's
schools
to
identify
Bostonians
would
be
trained
for
jobs
in
the
city's
arts
and
culture
institutions
in
industry,
owd
staff
requests
an
RFP
be
issued
to
procure
the
services
of
a
research
and
or
consultant
team
to
conduct
a
feasibility
assessment
of
higher
education
training
programs
that
provide
career
pathways
in
the
creative
economy
sector.
This
assessment
will
investigate
programs
already
in
operation
as
well
as
programs
in
the
pipeline
for
future
development,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
Emerson,
College
and
mass
art,
both
highly
respected
leaders
and
providing
exceptional
educational
opportunities.
G
Our
two
creative
industries
in
order
to
further
develop
and
implement
Career
Pathways
and
workforce
development
opportunities
in
the
creative
economy.
It
is
recommended
that
the
owd
be
authorized
to
engage
outside
professional
services
to
assist
them
in
this
effort.
As
part
of
the
Boston
creates
cultural
plan,
the
estimated
contract
amount
will
be
75,000
with
funding
support.
Coming
from
the
neighborhood
jobs,
trust
in
the
amount
of
50,000
and
Emerson
College
providing
25,000.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
H
H
H
I
Is
it
I'm
sorry
miss
Roth?
The
startup
manages
a
position
that
has
been
within
the
agency
for
the
past
several
years
and
it
fundamentally
looks
at
entrepreneurs
in
the
innovative
sector
exactly
so
they
help
facilitate
their
their
arrival
and
the
beginning
of
their
operations
in
Boston,
working
with
the
moment,
everything
from
sighting
to
logistics,
around
the
sighting
and
in
financing
and
accessing
different
economic
development
support
programs
both
within
the
city
and
the
state.
So
it's
been
a
position
that
that
we've
utilized
longer
than
I've,
been
here
I'd,
say
it's
over
a
decade.
A
B
B
Second,
second,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
the
Izone
meeting

The
open
meeting
law
requires
that
I

the
public
that
this
meeting
is

Therefore,
please
be

that
an
audio

Thank.
You
item
number
four
requests
authorization
to
adopt
the
imagine
Boston
2030
plan
as
a
long-term
citywide
plan
for
Boston,
which
will
guide
the
growth
development
and
investment
in
Boston
over
the
coming
decades.
B
J
Thank
You
chairman
members
of
the
board,
Madam
Secretary,
director
golden.
We
are
excited
to
be
before
you
today
to
talk
about
the
culmination
of
the
imagine,
Boston,
2030,
planning,
effort
and
present
the
framework
and
guidelines
for
your
adoption.
This
is
intended
to
be
a
living
document
that
will
continue
to
inform
work
throughout
the
city,
not
just
the
BPD
a
but
it
in
close
collaboration
with
all
of
the
other
city
departments.
Tad
will
walk
through
the
key
elements
of
the
plan.
J
K
Thank
You
Sara,
chairman
Berg
secretary
Rojas,
that's
how
Vice
Chairman
Rojas
Secretariat
bholenath
and
director
golden
two
years
ago
with
the
strong
support
of
Mayor
Walsh.
You,
the
board,
authorized
the
director
to
issue
an
RFP
for
the
city's
first
citywide
plan
in
50
years,
with
the
express
purpose
to
develop
a
shared
understanding
of
the
city's
collective
values
and
aspirations
for
the
future.
In
order
to
translate
these
into
a
coherent
and
flexible
framework
for
the
physical
growth
and
change
of
Boston.
So
today
we're
pleased
to
present
imagine
Boston
2030
for
your
approval.
K
K
By
showing
you
a
cheat
sheet-
and
this
cheat
sheet
is
on
pages
6
and
7
of
the
document,
if
you
are
ever
feeling
a
little
overwhelmed
or
lost
go
here,
because
this
simplifies
it
alright.
So
what
we
have
on
the
far
left
is
what
we're
calling
context
that
looks
at
all
the
data
and
all
the
input
we've
received.
That
forms
the
foundation
for
the
plan
that
continues
into
the
opportunity
for
growth.
Then
the
major
moves,
the
big
spatial
moves
of
the
plan
are
elaborated
in
the
taking
action
section,
so
that
is,
for
the
planning
purposes.
K
The
meat
of
this
document,
the
next
section
following
taking
action.
Our
series
of
initiatives
that
do
not
necessarily
focus
on
spatial
issues
but
apply
to
the
city
as
a
whole
and
involve
collaboration
between
any
number
of
city
departments
and
I
will
be
touching
on
those
as
well.
And
then
the
final
section
of
the
document
deals
with
how
we're
going
to
make
it
happen.
It
deals
with
next
steps
or
in
other
words,
implementation.
K
We
engaged
over
15,000
residents
and
workers
in
Boston
during
this
process.
As
you
can
imagine,
this
kind
of
citywide
engagement
does
not
happen
very
often,
and
so
it
really
required
some
creative
strategies
to
reach
out
to
all
Bostonians,
perhaps
in
ways
that
we
hadn't
tried
before
so
I,
just
like
to
highlight
a
couple
of
those
methods.
K
Before
going
on
to
describe
the
plan,
one
was
a
text
message
survey
instrument
using
telephones
and
in
an
application
called
Texas
and
where
we
were
able
to
reach
people
on
their
phones
when
they
were
able
to
respond,
they
didn't
have
to
come
to
a
meeting
and
we
collected
a
lot
of
really
useful
data.
This
way,
2,400
repeat
people
participated
in
the
text
message
surveys.
K
We
also
used
an
online
mobile
app
that
allowed
people
to
engage
from
their
computers
to
pull
up
specific
geographic
areas.
As
a
plan,
look
at
what
was
proposed
and
provide
comments,
there
were
Street
teams,
we
had
dozens
of
people
fan
out
to
different
parts
of
the
city
where
they
were
to
grocery
stores
to
tea
stops
and
engage
them
by
answering
surveys.
This
is
unprecedented
in
the
city
we
used
building
blocks
actually
Legos
to
help
community
members,
particularly
children,
begin
to
imagine
the
city's
physical
shape
into.
K
K
So
while
we
engage
directly
with
Bostonians
in
many
different
kinds
of
conversations,
a
critical
part
of
our
work
also
involved
looking
at
data,
and
this
is
very
important
as
well.
Much
of
the
data
echoed
and
reinforce
what
we
were
hearing
from
the
public.
So
much
of
this
is
no
surprise.
There
are
six
t,
sorry
key
data
points
that
I
think
crystallized
the
opportunities
and
challenges
facing
the
city.
You
may
have
heard
some
of
these
before,
but
I
think
they
bear
repeating.
K
This
slide,
for
example,
shows
compares
typical
productivity
of
Boston
worker
to
the
average
national
worker
in
dollars
and
shows
that
Boston
workers
are
roughly
33%
more
productive
than
than
the
average
annual
worker.
What
this
means
is
that
Boston
is
attractive
to
employers,
employers
want
to
be
here,
and
we
have
a
very
fast
growing
economy
and
employment
pace.
K
As
many
of
you
know,
our
population
bottled
out
in
about
1950,
it
grew
steadily
until
about
2010,
and
then
we
started
she
a
very
sharp
spike
in
our
growth,
and
we
expect
that
to
continue
to
the
year
2030
and
where
we're
projecting
a
population
of
seven
hundred
and
twenty
four
thousand
people.
We
need
we
need
to
make
decisions
about
where
those
people
will
live
and
work
in
equality.
K
There
are
many
different
measures
of
inequality,
and
one
of
them
is
is
something
that
the
Federal
Reserve,
Bank,
researched
and
and
came
up
with,
and
that
is
the
immediate.
The
difference
in
median
net
worth
between
the
average
white
household
in
Boston
and
households
of
color
is
dramatically
different
with
white
whole
households
averaging
about
250,000
dollars
in
net
worth,
and
you
can
see
where
the
numbers
are
with
other
minority
groups,
very
stark
difference
here
in
terms
of
median
household
income
on
the
upper
line.
K
You
see
Boston
on
the
left
at
about
56,000
the
USA
median
household
income
at
about
53
thousand,
not
a
very,
very
big
difference.
But
when
you
look
down
below
the
median
home
value
in
Boston,
four
hundred
and
sixty
four
thousand
dollars
compared
to
the
median
value
in
the
USA.
So
it's
difficult
for
people
to
afford
ownership
housing
here,
and
this
creates
a
problem
for
creating
personal
wealth.
K
Finally,
as
many
of
us
know,
we've
seen
this
with
the
sharing
economy,
with
on-demand
travel
and
services
such
as
uber
and
lyft.
We're
hearing
a
lot
about
it
with
the
automated
with
automated
vehicles.
We
know
that
technology
is
changing
quickly
and
that
we're
going
to
need
to
adapt
to
that
as
well.
K
So
the
message
that
I'd
like
to
convey
is
that
we're
not
retreating
from
our
challenges,
we're
facing
them
head-on
with
an
action
plan
that
will
allow
us
to
grow
our
population
and
jobs
sustainably
and
equitably,
preserving
what
we
cherish
most
about
Boston,
while
creating
promising
opportunities
for
vibrant
mixed-use,
equitable
transit,
oriented
and
climate
ready
development.
And
so
what
are
we
going
to
do
exactly
and
that's
where
we
come
to
the
taking
action
section
of
the
plan.
K
So,
let's
start
with
enhanced
neighborhoods,
and
here
we're
talking
about
existing
established
neighborhoods
from
Charlestown
and
East
Boston
to
tour
Chester,
Roxbury
and
Matapan.
There's
a
lot.
We
love
about
these
neighborhoods
that
we
don't
want
to
change
and
at
the
same
time
there
are
opportunities
for
growth
and
enhancement.
So,
for
example,
we
want
to
continue
to
maintain
and
expand
affordable
housing.
We
love
the
character
of
many
native
these
neighborhoods.
K
We
don't
want
that
to
change,
we
want
to
preserve
it
and
we
want
to
add
contextually
sensitive
development
that
fits
into
the
neighborhood
at
the
same
time.
Creating
closer
access
to
jobs
and
transfer
to
improve
transportation
connections
will
help
with
that.
As
we
add
jobs,
as
we
add
more
uses,
we
meet
want
more
amenities
for
everyday
life,
shopping,
grocery
shopping
opportunities
and
other
retail
opportunities.
We
also
want
community
gathering
spaces
in
public
spaces
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
preventing
displacement.
K
A
good
example
of
an
enhanced
neighborhood
initiative
that
has
already
taken
place
is
the
Jaypee
rocks
plan
where,
as
you
may
recall,
we
preserved
existing
residential
neighborhoods
near
Columbus,
Avenue
and
Washington
Street,
but
increase
the
amount
of
development
allowed
in
the
commercial
quarters
allowing
additional
housing
and
creative
in
creating
incentives.
Substantial
incentives
for
new,
affordable
housing,
another
upcoming
strategic
planning
area
that
will
begin
in
the
fall
consistent
with
enhanced
neighborhoods
is
the
will
be
a
planning
process
for
up
in
court.
K
So
think
of
this
as
an
extension
of
traditional
downtown
and
high
spine,
where
we
want
to
continue
job
growth
at
the
same
time
start
encouraging
more
housing
to
create
a
greater
balance
between
jobs
and
housing
and
create
that
vibrancy
in
these
neighborhoods,
24-hour
vibrancy
that
actually
creates
the
destination.
Now,
there's
plenty
of
historic
art
architecture
in
these
neighborhoods,
which
we
want
to
be
certain,
be
sure
to
preserve.
So
we
want
the
development
to
to
respond
to
the
existing
context.
K
We
want
to
create
resources
and
amenities
for
a
new
population
and,
of
course,
in
many
of
the
areas,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
prepared
for
climate
change
a
good
example
of
a
planning
initiative
that
is
outlined
in
imagine,
Boston
2030.
In
the
document
it's
called
Chalmette
peninsula
2100.
We
think
that
we
may
be
the
only
ones
who
understand
who
know
what
the
Shama
peninsula
is.
K
Let
me
start
by
listing
what
these
are,
then.
You
can
see
on
the
chart.
These
are
Beacon
yards
for
point,
channel,
New
Market,
like
that
Reed
bill,
Suffolk,
Downs
and
Sullivan
square,
and
you
can
see
these
in
the
purple
blobs
on
the
map
up
here,
so
expanded
neighborhoods
are
where
we
envision
the
lion
share
of
future
growth
in
the
city.
Many
of
these
areas
share
in
common
certain
characteristics,
for
example
their
significant
amount
of
vacant
and
underutilized
land.
K
In
most
of
these
areas,
there's
proximity
to
major
transportation
infrastructure,
including
transit
and
roadways,
creating
excellent
excellent
opportunities
for
transit,
oriented
development.
Many
of
these
are
located
at
the
edges
of
existing
neighborhoods,
representing
gaps
in
the
fabric
of
the
city
and
creating
an
opportunity
to
remit
the
fabric
of
the
city.
K
It's
important
to
note
also
that
these
areas
have
different
ownership
situations,
circumstances
so
that
some
of
these
areas,
like
beacon,
Yards
and
Suffolk
Downs,
have
a
single
landowner
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
those
single
landowners
on
in
master
planning
those
areas.
Other
land
other
areas
have
multiple
landowners
and,
of
course,
I
envision.
Something
more
like
the
strategic
planning
area
process
that
we
we've
carried
out
in
other
areas.
K
So
beacon
yards
just
going
in
alphabetical
order,
is
stands
to
benefit
from
its
close
proximity
to
other
major
employment
centers
such
as
Harvard
Kendall,
Boston
University
in
the
Longwood
Medical
area.
It's
also
located
right
on
top
of
the
I-90
Turnpike
and
the
recent
I
90
interchange
redesign
process
will
set
the
stage
for
a
walkable
street
grid
and
access
to
a
new
transit
hub
at
West
station
that
will
create
a
significant
transit
oriented
development
opportunity.
K
K
We
envision
that
investments
in
green
space
could
support
not
only
ecological
restoration,
but
also
reduce
vulnerability
or
flooding.
We
think
the
presence
of
Gillette
GE
and
the
4-points
arts
community
provide
opportunities
for
new
partnerships
in
arts
and
culture,
and
we
know
that
completing
a
walkable
Street
grid
will
be
an
important
part
of
setting
the
stage
for
a
vibrant,
neighborhood
here
new
market
and
why
debt
circle,
given
the
industrial
heritage
of
this
area,
existing
industrial
businesses
and,
of
course,
the
rail
lines
along
with
the
Fairmount.
K
K
We
see
the
opportunity
for
the
boasts
of
preservation
and
enhancement,
industrial
uses
and
a
mix
of
uses,
including
housing,
to
create
a
true
neighborhood.
This
will
all
require
improvements
to
the
fair
amount
line
which
I'll
talk
about
in
a
little
bit,
as
well
as
improvements
to
streets
and
walking
and
biking
infrastructure.
K
At
Suffolk
Downs,
this
Suffolk
Downs
is
immediately
adjacent
to
two
stops
on
the
blue
line
and
Route
one.
It's
also
sandwiched
between
Belle
Isle
marsh
and
the
Chelsea
river.
So
it's
a
beautiful
location.
We
see
it
as
a
great
opportunity
for
transit,
oriented
development
with
a
mix
of
uses
the
opportunity
to
strengthen
industrial
uses.
K
At
the
same
time,
given
the
sensitivity
of
the
natural
environment
in
this
area,
there
are
opportunities
for
creating
open
space
that
also
functions
as
flood
protection
and
there's
there's
really
an
important
need
for
an
overall
resiliency
strategy
in
Suffolk,
Downs
Sullivan
square,
also
I
think
would
would
stand
to
benefit
from
the
momentum
that
we're
seeing
in
assembly
Square,
Union,
Square,
Kendall,
Square
Everett
in
downtown
Boston.
It's
of
course
sitting
right
on
top
of
the
Sullivan
square,
T
stop
on
the
orange
line.
As
you
know,
we
did
some
planning
that
was
formed.
K
Part
of
the
land
disposition
study
three
or
four
years
ago,
and
we
plan
to
build
on
that
to
establish
a
new
walkable
street
grid,
take
advantage
of
publicly
owned
land
in
the
area
for
development
sites
and
look
at
other
development
possibilities
in
the
area.
Along
Rutherford
Avenue
on
publicly
owned
land
oops,
what
happened?
K
K
K
K
One
of
the
things
I
mentioned
before
was
the
stark
inequalities
that
we
see
in
the
city
and
there's
there's
no
area
of
the
city.
That
brings
us
into
relief
better
than
neighborhoods
flanking,
the
Fairmount
Line,
and
so
one
of
the
big
moves
called
for
an
imagined,
Boston
2030.
Is
that
the
creation
of
networks
of
opportunity
along
the
Fairmount
line-
and
here
we
see
many
different
opportunities
which
I'll
point
out?
K
K
Sorry
about
that
Oh,
a
big
part
of
this,
which
I'll
talk
about
in
just
a
moment,
is
investments
in
in
Uggams
corner.
So
that
summarizes
the
big
spatial
initiatives
in
the
planet.
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
minute
to
talk
about
some
of
the
major
initiatives
that
again
aren't
the
responsibility
of
the
BP
da,
but
will
but
will
in
many
cases,
involve
us
and
their
10
key
initiatives.
K
So
continued
growth
in
our
strongest
sectors,
such
as
health
care
and
education,
diversifying
sectoral
strengths,
supporting
business
development
for
industrial
sectors,
creating
an
environment
in
which
small
businesses
can
start
grow
and
scale
and
encouraging
job
training
and,
finally,
a
variety
of
open
space
investments
throughout
the
city.
We
heard
from
folks
that
they
wanted
to
improve
access
to
and
the
quality
of
our
parks
and
there
a
variety
of
initiatives
that
you
can
peruse
in
the
plan.
K
So
in
terms
of
implementation
and
next
steps
just
to
wrap
up,
the
city
has
a
set
of
metrics
to
to
guide.
That
is
to
measure
how
we
are
doing.
You
think
this
is
not
a
plan
that
will
sit
on
a
shelf
it'll,
be
a
living
breathing
plan
that
we
will
continue
to
utilize
over
time
and
there's
also
a
section
of
the
plan
that
that
you
can
find
towards
the
end.
K
That
says
exactly
what
departments
in
the
city
will
be
responsible
for
implanting
which
sections
of
the
plan,
so
just
in
closing
we're
facing
unprecedented
population
and
housing
growth.
We
have
a
robust
economy,
glaring
equality,
preserving
and
increasing,
affordable
housing,
our
challenges
and
imperatives,
as
is
the
need
to
prevent
displacement
and
we're
vulnerable
to
climate
change
and
sea
level
rise.
So
imagine,
Boston
2030
addresses
these
challenges
by
reinvesting
in
transit,
schools
parks,
housing,
Arts
and
Culture,
and
other
important
assets,
particularly
serving
underserved
neighborhoods
such
as
those
in
the
drama
corridor.
K
Promoting
strategic
and
contextually
sensitive
development
investment
in
existing
neighborhoods
and
districts,
while
directing
the
lion's
share
of
new
development
to
vacant,
underutilized,
land
near
transit
and
roadway
infrastructure,
improving
access
to
and
stewardship
of
the
waterfront
and
setting
in
place
policies
and
programs
that
promote
our
values
of
equity,
fairness,
inclusion
and
great
placemaking.
That
concludes
the
presentation.
Thank.
B
You
very
much
very
good
good
job.
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
say
from
the
onset
I
want
to
congratulate
you
and
Sarah
and
all
the
staff
to
participated
in
this.
The
fact
that
you
were
able
to
get
so
many
residents
of
the
city
to
be
involved
almost
15,000
people
and
it's
it's
a
pretty
amazing
document-
and
it
really
is
going
to
you
know,
enhance
the
quality
of
life
for
all
the
residents
of
the
city,
but
future
generations
too,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
work
and
for
this
document.
So
thank
you.
F
B
A
A
So
if
they're,
someone
overall,
that
is
going
to
be
responsible
for
kind
of
tracking
and
measuring
and
kind
of
bang.
Okay
holistically.
How
are
we
doing
you
know
when
you
bring
all
the
parts
together
of
you,
know,
D
and
B
and
V
PDA,
or
all
these
agencies
who's
responsible
for
cooking
we're
doing
yes,.
J
What
would
be
a
fiscal
year
17
fiscal
year,
18,
and
then
you
know
in
chunks
of
five
years
beyond
that,
since
this
is
a
plan
to
2030
and
beyond
what
they'd
be
focused
on,
and
then
your
weekly
or
your
quarterly
cabinet
report
will
talk
about
that
and
talk
about
the
steps
that
you've
taken
to
move
the
needle
on
those
initiatives.
And
then
what
are
your
next
steps?
There's
also
the
focus
as
it
relates
to
the
metrics
here
of
including
an
element
of
that
in
a
future
version
of
city
score.
J
So
the
city's
data
team
is
looking
to
see
how
we
can
include
that
the
metrics
you'll
see
in
the
plan
are
directional,
so
we're
looking
for
not
an
increase
in
this
or
a
decrease
in
that
isn't
working
towards
a
hard
number.
But
the
idea
here
is
to
be
able
to
have
something:
that's
a
measurable
metric
that
could
be
incorporated
into
a
version
of
city
score,
2.0
or
3.0.
A
One
last
question,
or
just
maybe
just
to
get
your
thoughts
on
it.
How
much
of
this
are
we
really
able
to
kind
of
control
within
the
city
and
really
get
executed
with
our
kind
of
city
departments
and
agencies
versus
what
we're
going
to
need
cooperation
or
our
partnership
with
the
state
or
or
the
federal
level
kind
of?
How
much
are
we
and.
J
I
think
that
that
truly
speaks
to
with
the
design
of
the
metrics
you're
being
directional,
as
opposed
to
setting
hard
numbers
acknowledging
that
many
of
these
aspirations
and
goals
are
also
heavily
reliant
on
policies
that
are
outside
of
our
control,
both
the
state
and
federal
level.
So
I
think
what
we're
looking
here
is.
J
Where
can
we
make
the
minor
moves
that
we
need
to
make
at
the
city
level,
but
or
major
in
some
cases,
but
it
will
be
enhanced
by
other
moves
at
the
at
other
levels
as
well,
and
then,
where
can
we
be
advocates
for
what
we
need
at
the
state
level
and
at
the
federal
level
and
I
think
that
this
document
provides
an
an
excellent
framework
for
that
advocacy
as
well?
That
we
know
will
be
crucially
important
to
advancing
the
overall
goals,
as
it
relates
to
more
equitable
growth
in
the
city.
N
Well,
I
just
want
to
comment
that
I
think
this
is
really
a
quite
extraordinary
piece
of
work.
I've
seen
a
lot
of
long-range
plans
for
cities
and
urban
areas,
and
invariably
they
focus
on
a
set
of
quantitative
metrics,
usually
around
transit
or
infrastructure
development,
or
hopes
for
a
certain
type
of
financial
development
or
job
generation,
and
this
one
starts
I
think
quite
appropriately
with
a
statement
of
values
and
aspirations.
N
So
it
starts
from
an
assumption
that
there
are
certain
quality
of
life
factors,
not
all
of
which
fit
easily
into
traditional
quantitative,
metrics
and
and
it's
a
framework
that
we'll
be
filled
out
by
a
number
of
people
moving
forward.
It's
it's
comprehensive
and
it's
inclusive
in
a
way
that
I've
never
seen
in
other
plans.
It
clearly
has
made
an
effort
to
engage
all
of
the
city
departments
that
are
going
to
have
to
deliver
on
this.
N
So
while
it's
a
planning
staff
here
and
folks
in
the
mayor's
office
and
and
other
folks
who
have
taken
the
lead
on
this,
it's
quite
clear
that
other
city
departments
understand
that
they
have
to
be
engaged
with
the
implementation
of
a
number
of
the
initiatives.
Here
over
a
period
of
time-
and
it's
also
a
plan
that
I
think
quite
interestingly
deals
with
culture
and
demographics
and
the
role
of
the
Arts
in
the
city
and
preservation
initiatives
to
protect
the
fabric
of
many
of
our
neighborhoods
and
I.
N
Think
that
you
should
be
most
proud
of
the
fact
that
this
is
a
courageous
document
and
a
courageous
effort
in
that
it
doesn't
gloss
over
the
challenges
of
gentrification
or
displacement
or
inequalities
in
the
city.
A
lot
of
plans,
just
kind
of
look
at
what
you
can
build
and
not
look
at
who
you're
building
it
for
and
what
the
outcomes
or
a
secondary
or
tertiary
benefits
or
detriments
are
that
might
occur
when
you
build
in
a
particular
way.
N
Deals
with
health
and
education
and
there's
obviously
been
a
lot
of
input
from
young
people
in
the
city.
Who
are
the
folks
who
are
going
to
be
here
in
2030
site.
I.
Just
I
commend
the
staff
here
for
creating
a
document
in
the
process
that
is
widely
engaging
and
accessible,
and
maybe
chairman
Berk
will
ho
of
what
the
book
looks
like,
because
very
few
people
have
have
seen
the
book.
N
B
K

E
E
Sailing
Center
has
been
operation,
has
been
in
operation
for
30
years
and
is
a

a
registered

C

public
charity.
Financial
support
comes
from
major
donors
such
as
the
such
as
the
Cummings
foundation
and
John
Hancock.
The
center
serves
annually
more
than
1500
Boston
youth
each
year
all
free
of
charge,
and
even
though
it
was
many
long
years
ago,
as
a
father,
I'm
happy
to
say
all
my
kids
went
through
well
the
program
and
they
all
had
a
ball.
E
The
extension
of
the
existing
license
is
sought
to
give
the
center
additional
time
to
realize
its
goal
of
attracting
sufficient
support
from
the
business
community
to
make
major
capital
improvements
to
the
facilities
over
the
course
of

future
long

agreement
that
the
proposed
license
agreement
will
extend
the

for
one

has
a

fee
of
$1

provides
that
the
Senate
will
indemnify

its

we
are
seeking
to
enter
into
a
license
agreement
that
will
formalize
the
use
of
two
VRA
parcels
for
use
by
Bunker
Hill
Community
College
for
surface
parking
for
the
students
for
the
school
students,
faculty
and
staff.
Just
as
importantly,
this
agreement
will
indemnify
the
agency
from
any
claims
and
will
provide
a
revenue
stream
from
parking
passes
that
have
been
issued
by
the
school,
and
here
you
can
see.
The
two
parcels
that
would
be
included
in
this
represents
an
area
of
just
over
six
acres
agency
staff.
E
Initially
approached
the
college
and
representatives
of
dkm
in
early
2016
to
discuss
current
and
long-term
potential
uses
on
the
site.
For
those
of
you
who
know,
the
site
is
often
easy
access
to
downtown.
More
importantly,
the
MBTA
Hartman's
Line
station
directly
abuts
the
school
and
I'm
trying
to
point
out
where
it
is
with
this
thing,
I'm
not
sure,
but
the
orange
line
is
immediately
adjacent
to
the
college.
E
Now
college
is
a
value,
a
partner
with
the
city
of
Boston,
but
I
think
all
of
us
would
agree
that
surface
parking,
especially
in
an
area
that's
so
well
served
by
public
transportation,
doesn't
really
represent
the
potential
highest
and
best
use
of
the
land
over
the
longer
term.
It's
reasonable
to
expect
that
a
dialogue
will
occur
up
between
all
concerns
and
parties
as
to
what
the
highest
and
best
uses
might
be
and
the
means
to
attain
those
ends.
E
A
B
O
You,
mr.
chairman,
members
of
the
board
secretary
Paul
Hymas
and
director
golden
here
before
you
to
request
the
extension
to
the
tentative
designation
for
p3
partners.
The
development
team
has
been
working
pretty
assiduously
and
diligently
on
various
aspects
of
their
tentative
designation,
most
specifically
the
security
of
financing
associated
with
the
project,
which
is
still
an
ongoing
process.
Securing
tenants
for
the
proposed
project
most
significantly
in
the
recent
months.
O
A
O
Duly
noted-
and
it
is,
it
is
moving
in
the
right
direction.
I
think
that
the
significant
work
that
the
development
team
needs
to
do
around
financing
and
site
coordination,
which
they
have
been
working
on
with
Boston
Public
Schools,
but
so
eye
coordination,
the
component
around
getting
their
front,
their
schematics
and
working
drawings
underway,
as
well
as
the
work
around
financing
and
the
affordability
components
as
well
is
an
important
piece
of
work
to
be
done
before
we
come
profile
designation.
So.
N
N
It's
it's
really
dumbfounding
to
me
that
the
private
financing
for
this
particular
parcel,
given
its
location
and
its
viability,
and
it
hasn't
been
resolved
and
I-
think
it's
time
to
really
Fisher
cut
bait
in
terms
of
the
private
financing
for
the
development,
and
the
other
thing
is
that
after
all
this
time,
I'm
still
a
little
confined
'add
that
we
haven't
seen
a
plan
B
around
what
the
public
financing
would
be
in
the
event,
something
happens
that
puts
the
public
financing
at
risk.
In
any
way,
we've
got
a
great
sight:
it's
not
remote.

P
Afternoon,
chairman
Burke
members
of
the
board
secretary
Polhemus,
the
proponent
102
one
10-7
Hill
Avenue
LLC,
filed
erotic,
lady
application,
with
the
BPD
DA
on
June
21st,
proposing
a
to
building
mixed-use
development
in
Dorchester
totaling,
approximately
twenty
two
thousand
four
hundred
and
seventy
five
square
feet.
A
BPD,
a
public
meeting
was
held
on
June
29th
at
the
Cristo
Rey
high
school,
located
next
door
at
107,
Hill
Avenue
in
the
Connor
kid
concluded
on
July
21st.
The
public
meeting
had
a
large
turnout
in
the
proposal
is
enthusiastically
supported
and
received.
P
The
proposed
project
has
unanimous
support
from
the
community.
It
also
has
a
support
of
the
Columbia
Seven
Hills
Civic
Association,
the
mayor's
office,
the
city
councilor
George's
office,
as
well
as
state
representative
Hunt.
The
proposed
project
is
seeking
zoning
relief
to
several
variances.
However,
the
BPD,
a
staff
believes
the
proposed
project
is
consistent
within
the
arc
within
the
context
and
ongoing
development
in
the
Dorchester
neighborhood
district.
After
considerable
review
of
the
design,
the
requested
variances
are
appropriate
for
the
proposal.
The
proposed
project
is
not
subject
to
the
inclusionary
development
policy.
P
The
proponent
is
making
a
$10,000
donation
to
the
st..
Nearly
Center
for
women
and
children,
this
funding
will
be
used
to
family-centric
programs
that
support
600
women
and
children
annually
with
shelter
clinical
and
educational
services,
job
training,
employment,
placement
in
search
for
permanent,
affordable
housing.
P
Q
Good
afternoon
directed
golden
secretary
Polhemus,
mr.
chairman,
my
name
is
John,
please
Union
the
attorney
for
the
102
110
Sabbath,
Hill,
Ave,
LLC
I'm,
going
to
be
very
brief,
because
there
are
several
members
of
the
team
that
would
like
to
speak
to
you
all
I,
just
like
to
take
up
to
me
at
this
point
to
thank
John,
Campbell,
Cynthia,
daughter,
Ashley
Kerr
and
my
Christopher
for
their
leadership
throughout
this
process.
Q
This
project,
before
you
was
John,
stated
it's
a
nine
unit
residential
structure
and
then
with
a
three
level:
commercial
building,
that's
located
on
Savin
Hill
Ave
for
the
people
in
the
neighborhood
who
know
this
neighborhood.
This
building
has
been
left
vacant
for
nearly
a
decade
and
throughout
the
community
process
may
be
very
beginning
it
wasn't.
The
question
was:
never
should
something
go
here.
The
question
was:
what
exactly
do
the
residents
want
to
go
there?
In
addition
to
that,
this,
the
project
site
itself
is
located.
Basically
60
yards
from
the
JFK.
Q
R
You
John
Thank
You,
chairman
Burke
and
other
members
of
the
board.
I
just
want
to
quickly
talk
about
the
community
engagement.
We
obviously
reached
out
to
all
the
different
constituents
whether
it
was
the
political
elected
officials,
the
traditional
civic
groups
and
then
mainly
through
the
community.
We
built
a
social
media
platform
through
co-organized
and
engaged
all
the
members
of
the
community
to
hear
in
four
different
languages
through
text
through
internet.
We
had
a
survey
online
and
got
330
surveys.
Completed
was
35.
Questions
took
a
person
10
to
20
20
minutes
to
complete.
R
R
S
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
James
chairman
Burke
members
of
the
board.
Thank
you
for
your
time
this
evening,
I'm
just
going
to
try
to
go
through
this
as
quickly
as
possible
to
leave
some
time
for
questions
at
the
end.
What
you're
going
to
see
in
this
presentation
is
a
proposal
for
two
buildings.
One
is
a
fully
commercial
building
three
stories
and
then
eight
an
additional
story
below
grade
that
we're
looking
at
as
well
and
then
a
residential
building
that
it
contains
parking
ground-floor
entrance
behind
it
on
the
residential
street.
We.
T
S
This
slide
here
that
really
just
lists
out
that
engagement
process,
that
James
mentioned
and
as
he
and
I,
are
both
residents
of
this
neighborhood.
Seeing
this
store
vacant
it
was.
It
was
very
kind
of
exciting
to
see
the
excitement
in
our
neighbors
and
the
community
kind
of
embraced
this.
Nobody
was
short
on
opinions
about
what
should
go
there
and
we're
still
sort
of
sifting
through
all
this
data
that
we
received
and
this
process
did
involve.
You
know
it's
kind
of
going
back
to
the
drawing
board.
S
We
have
so
three
pictures
here:
I'll
just
give
you
the
existing
context.
This
is
the
vacant.
They
can
store
corner
store
and
then
the
two
buildings
behind
that
you're
kind
of
standing
on
the
corner,
almost
walking
off
of
the
savin
Lt
station
here
and
looking
towards
the
or
this
is
the
savin
bar
and
kitchen
apartments
that
are
apartments
above
that
restaurant
taking
place.
You
start
to
see.
A
new
scale
is
developing
in
the
Savin
village
and
we
have
already
applied
for
our
article
85
demolition
received
the
letter
that
these
are
not
significant
structures.
S
So
all
the
buildings
that
we're
proposing
to
demolish
have
their
article
85
certificate
from
the
residential
street
sydney.
Looking
back,
you're,
seeing
the
single
family,
the
three
family
and
then
the
single
storey
commercial.
Building
that
we're
proposing
to
demolish
the
site
plan
shows
the
existing
three
Lots
that
we're
on
our
primary
a
butter
is
cristo
rey
school
and
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
process.
S
We've
been
able
to
work
with
the
school
and
proposed
certain
improvements
to
their
site.
That
kind
of
essentially
address
problems
that
they've
had
with
accessibility
getting
into
their
main
level
teachers
not
being
reserved
having
to
kind
of
drive
and
park
and
come
all
the
way
around
the
school
to
get
to
the
front
entrance
for
an
accessible
path,
but
also
just
really
take
care
of
you
know
other
other
maintenance
issues
that
they've
had
on
their
property.
S
We
also
have
you
know,
looked
at
the
village
here
and
there's
because
of
the
popularity
and
the
density
of
the
neighborhood.
There
is
parking
still
and
requirements,
so
we've
been
able
to
work
out
some
arrangements
and
we're
continuing
to
work
on
those
with
the
school
to
make
use
of
their
teacher
parking
lot
throughout
other
times
of
the
day,
as
we
kind
of
continued
through
through
the
site
plan,
you
see
the
footprints
of
two
buildings.
This
is
the
corner
store.
S
S
So
the
other
improvements
that
we
have
in
the
sort
of
arrangements
with
Cristo
Rey
are
through
pathways
for
some
of
the
paths
up
to
that
ramp,
but
also
helping
them
service
parts
of
their
building
below
manage
their
trash
and
manage
our
own
loading
in
this
spot.
I'm
not
going
to
dive
in
really
all
to
the
plans,
because
the
renderings
kind
of
show
more
about
what
we're
doing
here.
S
The
front
building
this
is
the
commercial
building.
Three
stories
of
commercial
is
is
one
where,
instead
of
the
way,
we
showed
you
that
that
Savan
bar
project
with
the
apartments
it
steps
back
off
of
the
corner,
retaining
this
sort
of
single-story
commercial
structure,
and
that
more
of
that
feeling
it's
also
about
transparency
and
allowing
as
much
of
the
inside
activity
to
make
the
streets
feel
safer
and
then
same
thing.
This
is
the
Cristo
Rey
lot
now
with
that
was
a
pressure
treated
stair
kind
of
removed
in
this
slide.
S
Finally
is
kind
of
looking
back
again
from
the
tee.
This
stairwell
would
be
open.
You
would
enter
into
what
we're
looking
at
is
a
grocery
store,
sorely
needed
in
this
community,
but
that
doorway
would
become
the
new
sort
of
meeting
place
in
the
village
up
to
other
tenants
within
that
building
and
I
can
address
any
other
questions.
S
A
Another
question
or
more
of
a
compliment,
I
just
wanna,
say
to
thank
the
developer
and
answer
that.
I
do
really
do
appreciate
the
additional
efforts
that
you
made
in
the
community
engagement
process
and
being
innovative
with
your
method.
All
it
wasn't
incredibly,
their
text
messages
right,
but
just
recognizing
that
you
know
there
are
multiple
ways
to
you
know:
to
get
feedback
right
to
get
input
from
the
community
and
and
recognizing
the
language,
diversity
and
diversity
of
thought
of
your
stakeholders
and
I.
A
Think
that
speaks
to
the
acceptance
of
this
project
and
probably
the
iterations
that
that
it
went
through.
You
know
this
agency
does
a
lot
with
a
little
limited
amount
of
resources,
and
so
I
just
hope
that
this
type
of
initiative
and
and
onus
and
ownership
a
continues
to
be
a
trend
and
be
what
the
developers
see
is
their
responsibility
and
they're.
A
R
N
But
I
would
echo
that
and
I
also
commend
you
on
the
number
of
design
solutions
that
you've
come
up
with
in
response
to
community
concerns
and
also
as
a
forward-looking
way
of
bringing
a
transformative
structure
to
this
particular
community.
That
I
think
will
be
a
significant
enhancement
to
the
quality
of
life
in
that
neighborhood.
So
we
we
don't
often
get
to
talk
about
design
as
such
from
our
perspective,
but
I
think
you've
done
a
really
great
job
in
using
an
innovative
design
as
a
way
of
responding
to
and
innovating
on
behalf
of
the
community.
S
We're
actually,
you
know,
might
not
sound
so
good,
we're
a
little
surprised
that
it
has
been
accepted
so
so
well,
we
have
seen
in
other
places
where
and
even
in
this,
this
neighborhood
were
something
that
doesn't
look
predictable.
You
know,
gets
a
lot
of
pushback
and
I
think
that
the
spirit
of
this
project
is
really
just
to
leave
it
as
open
as
possible
and
everyone's
kind
of
ready
for
something
new,
which
I
think
is
a
great
sign
for
this
neighborhood
in
the
city.

Thank.
U
You
good
evening,
chairman
Burke
director
golden
Madam
Secretary
members
of
the
board
On
January
14
2016,
the
VRA
board
approved
first
two
phases
of
the
government
center
garage
for
redevelopment
projects.
Phase
1
known
as
the
WP
be
one
component
of
the
project
includes
a
total
of
approximately
540
7940
square
feet
of
gross
floor
area,
comprised
of
approximately
five
hundred
forty
six
thousand
640
square
feet
of
residential
uses,
including
486
rental
apartment
units
plus
amenity
space
and
approximately
1,300
square
feet
of
ground
floor
retail
space
on
June
30th
2017.
U
One
component
allows
to
the
construction
of
approximately
812
residential
units
with
a
mix
of
rental
apartment
units
and
condominium
units,
so
no
amendment
to
the
PDA
is
required
in
connection
with
the
MPC.
The
MPC
was
presented
to
at
an
impact
Advisory
Group
meeting
held
on
July
27th
in
the
common
period
concluded
on
August
4th.
One
concern
we
heard
in
the
community
was
in
regret,
regard
to
the
1,300
square
feet
of
retail
space,
that
is
to
be
converted
into
the
lobby
and
entrance
space.
U
V
Thank
you
Mike
good
afternoon,
chairman
Burke
members
of
the
board
director
golden
executive
director
Polhemus.
Thank
you
so
much
for
giving
me
the
opportunity.
My
name
again
is
Tom
O'brien
and
with
the
hym
Investment
Group
I'm,
going
to
try
and
run
through
this
fairly
quickly.
Here's
our
site,
you
folks,
recognize
it
as
one
of
the
ugliest
buildings
in
Boston.
Is
it
that's
the
existing
government
Center
garage?
We
are
working
on
five
acre
parcel
of
land.
That
is
right
in
the
midst
of
downtown
Boston.
V
So
we
look
at
this
as
a
wonderful
opportunity
to
remake
this
garage
into
something
special.
This
first
phase.
We're
really
excited
to
be
here
in
front
of
you
as
we
move
forward
with
the
first
phase
of
redoing.
This
garage
I
know
that
there
are
many
other
garages
in
town
that
people
are
talking
about.
Redeveloping
I
can
assure
you
that
these
are
very
complicated,
difficult
to
do
projects,
and
this
is
foremost
among
them,
but
we're
really
excited
to
be
in
the
slot
and
ready
to
move
forward.
V
There's
approximately
five
acres
of
total
developable
space
on
the
entire
site
and
you'll
note
that
it's
kind
of
divisible
from
the
west
side,
which
is
about
one
hundred
and
twenty-nine
thousand
square
feet
or
so
of
area
and
about
80,000
square
feet,
or
so
on
the
east
side,
we're
going
to
be
focusing
on
the
Westside
as
our
first
project.
Just
a
quick
recap
of
the
summary
of
what
has
been
approved
so
far
in
the
upper
left-hand
corner.
You
can
see
that
you
see
if
this
pointer
works.
This
is
for
KF
great.
V
This
shows
that
the
this
is
the
garages
that
exists
today.
We
we're
in
the
midst
of
redoing
significant
portions
of
the
garage,
what
we
call
the
so-called
enhancement
of
the
garage
as
we
move
forward,
we
have
to
restructure
ramps.
We
have
to
create
a
police
parking
Ness
there's
a
variety
of
things
that
we're
doing
inside
a
significant
amount
of
capital
is
being
spent
on
the
garage
right
now
we're
here
in
front
of
you
talking
about
this
building.
This
is
WP
b1.
V
This
is
the
first
building,
but
you'll
move
forward
as
part
of
the
project
will
be.
We
are
beginning
the
project
basically
now
and
will
complete
this
project
in
the
summer
of
2020.
Then
after
that
building
is
completed,
then
the
half
of
the
garage.
That
is
the
piece
that
is
maybe
most
obtrusive
a
piece
that
comes
out
over
the
east
side
and
out
over
the
existing
bus
station
that
will
be
demolished,
and
then
we
can
move
in
a
variety
different
manners.
But
the
first
is
probably
an
office
tower
on
this
side,
which
is
again
approved.
V
Then
there's
a
three
building
smaller
complex
on
the
east
side,
which
will
be
a
great
retail,
complex
hotel,
small
office
building,
then
a
final
residential
building
which
will
completely
enclose
the
garage
so
that
we
don't
build
new
parking
will
demolish
a
portion
of
the
existing
parking
and
then
enclose
the
remaining
parking
with
no
subsequent
phases.
So
the
existing
parking
goes
away.
V
This
gives
you
a
good
sense
from
a
site
plan
perspective
of
how
each
of
these
buildings
kind
of
line
up
this
again
is
the
building
that
we're
talking
about
today,
WP
b1,
not
a
very
exciting
name.
Obviously
it
stands
for
West
parcel
building.
One
I
can
assure
you
by
the
time
we
open
this
building.
It
will
have
another
more
interesting
name,
perhaps
something
to
do
with
its
address.
V
Here's
a
summary
of
what
has
been
approved.
So
these
are
the
pieces
that
are
memorialized
in
the
PDA
I
know.
This
is
a
slide.
That's
difficult
to
read
so
I'll
just
quickly
run
through
it.
Wp
b1
is
here
at
the
top.
That's
a
480
foot
tall
building
that
is
a
residential
building,
approximately
550,000
square
feet
or
so
of
total
area,
and
then
there's
a
office
building
here,
which
is
WP
b2.
It's
a
beautifully
design
building
designed
by
cesar
pelli
associates.
V
That's
about
a
million
square
feet
about
528
feet
tall
these
two
buildings,
just
as
an
aside
both
that
first
residential
building
and
the
second
office
building,
have
completely
completed
all
of
the
article
80
requirements,
including
design
review
and
all
the
rest
of
it.
So
we're
in
the
market
right
now
with
this
office
building
seeking
tenants
in
addition
to
that,
there's
one
other
building
on
the
west
side,
which
is
this
one
here,
WP
B,
3,
another
residential
building
and
then,
as
I
said,
we
stepped
down
as
we
head
towards
the
Greenway.
V
V
Just
give
you
a
sense
again.
These
pictures
are
a
little
bit
hard
to
see
but
gives
you
a
sense
of
the
bracing
that
we've
had
to
add
to
the
garage.
This
is
a
significant
engineering
undertaking.
Yes,
it's
a
design
undertaking,
but
we've
added
a
significant
amount
of
bracing
into
the
the
guts
of
the
garage
to
make
sure
that
the
garage
continues
to
obviously
stand
up.
But
in
addition
to
that,
we've
created
a
new
parking
nest.
V
Many
of
you
will
remember
that
all
along
the
Sudbury
street
for
decades
and
decades,
the
police
cars
that
serve
area
a1
have
parked
along
that
street,
and
we've
now
been
working
with
the
police
have
been
terrific
with
us
and
very
flexible.
We
tried
to
work
this
through.
We
have
them
in
a
temporary
nest
in
the
garage
and
they're
about
to
move
in
on
Monday
into
this
nest
as
well,
which
is
completed
and
ready
to
go
forward
which
we're
excited
about.
V
In
addition
to
that,
as
I
pointed
out,
we've
begun
the
demolition
of
this
corner
of
the
garage,
and
so
each
evening
a
different
section.
A
different
Bay
of
this
garages
is
demolished
as
we
go
forward.
So,
if
you're
out
there
today,
there
are
two
more
Bay's
that
are
in
this
photo
that
have
actually
been
demolished
at
this
point,
we're
excited
and
then
those
pieces
are
carted
off
each
day.
We've
also
completed
a
number
of
on
great
improvements.
These
are
the
new.
V
This
is
the
new
intersection
that
intersection
at
Merrimack,
new
Chardon
and
Congress
Street
has
been
a
problem
forever,
and
so
we've
begun
the
implementation
of
the
new
intersection.
The
new
lights
restructuring
the
intersection
to
make
it
more
pedestrian
friendly.
These
are
all
pieces
that
have
been
in
place
now
for
about
a
week
or
so
here's
the
quick
recap
of
the
design
of
the
residential
tower
designed
by
C
BT,
we're
really
excited
about
this.
V
We
we
believe
that
this
will
be
one
of
the
best
buildings
in
Boston,
we're
very
excited
about
the
lobby,
which
will
start
to
change
what
people's
perception
is
of
that
of
that
garage.
So
this
is
a
multi-story
Lobby
on
new
subarray
Street
here,
and
you
can
see
how
the
lobby
sort
of
presents
itself
as
we
start
to
enclose
this
portion
of
the
garage.
These
are
units
that
are
on
the
exterior
the
garage
built
into
the
building.
Then
the
garage
continues
until
we've
demolished
that
you
can
see
in
that
lower
photo.
V
The
building
itself
presents
itself
really
well
against.
The
skyline
will
have
an
amenity
floor
on
the
32nd
floor
as
well
as
another
one
here
on
the
ninth
floor
of
the
building,
we're
really
pleased
about
how
it's
coming
out.
Just
a
quick
note
on
the
notice
of
project
change.
All
we're
doing
really
is
converting
the
upper
11
stories
into
condominiums
from
more
rental
apartments,
which
essentially
means
that,
because
the
condominium
units
are
larger
in
size,
we're
reducing
the
total
number
of
units,
we
are
not,
as
this
slide
tells
you,
we
are
not
changing
the
building
height.
V
We
are
not
changing
the
building
area,
not
changing
the
building
design
and
designed
the
facade
or
anything
like
that.
We're
not
changing
the
street
level,
pedestrian
improvements
that
we
have
undertail
be
undertaking
and
we've
also
not
changed
the
number
of
affordable
on-site
units,
which
is
something
that
the
community
expected
of
us
in
a
pledge
that
wanted
to
keep.
What
is
changing
is
a
conversion
of
the
top
11
floors
from
for
rent
to
for
sale.
V
So,
essentially,
what
happens
is,
as
you
can
see
from
this
slide,
would
go
to
55
condominium
units
which
reduces
the
overall
number
of
units
down
to
423,
which
will
be
again
consisting
of
55
for
sale
units
and
then,
as
Mike
pointed
out,
there's
a
portion
of
the
building.
That's
about
1,300
square
feet
here
that
will
become
the
entrance
spot
for
the
for
the
condominiums.
V
This
has
not
really
been
a
great
retail
spot
anyway,
it's
mid
block
doesn't
really
work
very
well,
so
we
we've
agreed
to
remove
that
1,300
square
feet
and
put
it
elsewhere
in
the
project
which
is
which
we're
happy
to
do
and
I
think
the
community
has
been
pleased
with
that.
So
just
a
quick
summary
again,
the
recap
550,000
square
feet
we're
in
the
slot
to
begin,
and
we
simply
need
a
project
change
hi
in
response
to
the
market.
Thanks,
okay,.
V
V
Anxious
about
the
whole
thing,
but
we
have
a
great
team.
We
have
you
know:
McNamara
salary
I,
give
him
a
little
shout
out
there,
the
engineering
team
on
this
they're,
terrific
they
have
on
site
folks
over
there.
Even
the
demolition
team
has
an
on-site
engineer
there
every
night
with
us,
so
we're
we're
well
staffed
project.
V
A

Request:
authorization
to
issue
certificates
of
completion
for
the
landscape,
open
space
on
parcel
P

P

located
at

Dale

This
is
just
a
certificate
of
completion.
Any
questions
emotions
in
order.
Second,
all
the
very
most
eyes
have
it
we're
going
to
move
past
item
number
14
and
15
until
5:30
I'm
going
to
go
to
item
number
16
and
it's
an
informational
update
regarding
the
inclusionary
development
policy
by
Tim
Davis.
C
Thank
You
chairman
Burke's
vice-chair
Rojas
member
landmark
director
golden
and
secretary
Polhemus.
We
are
pleased
here
at
the
VPD
a
to
be
releasing.
The
first
report
on
the
inclusionary
development
policy
is
released.
Tuesday
we've
had
very
positive
press
coverage
to
date,
the
I'm
going
to
go
through
this
fairly
quickly.
You
have
the
report
and
has
been
sent
to
you.
The
including
development
policy
or
IDP
was
first
created
in
2000
and
was
revised
most
recently
by
mayor
Marty
Walsh
in
December
2015.
C
As
you
know,
working
with
us
daily
that
developers
have
three
options
that
they
can
do.
They
can
do
on-site
units
off-site
units
or
provide
funding
to
the
IDP
fund
for
completed
projects
over
the
life
of
the
program.
89%
have
done
on-site
units
26%
have
made
a
contribution
to
the
IDP
fund
and
3%
have
done
off-site
units
that
can
add
up
to
over
100%,
because
some
developers
do
a
combination
of
approaches
for
projects
that
are
permanent
construction
or
BPD
approved
93%
are
doing
on-site.
C
Units
12%
are
doing
a
contribution
and
8%
are
doing
some
off-site
units
over
the
life
of
the
program.
1737
on-site
and
off-site
units
have
been
completed.
Of
those
229
were
completed
just
in
2020,
1666
percent
of
the
units
or
rental
units
and
34%
or
condo
units.
The
units
are
located
across
the
city
but
of
course
concentrated
where
development
is
occurring,
the
most
with
a
the
largest
percentage
actually
occurring
in
the
South
Boston.
The
South
Boston
waterfront,
with
a
large
number
of
percentage,
also
in
downtown
neighborhoods.
C
The
Fenway
and
increasingly
in
terms
of
these
are
completing
units,
but
we're
also
seeing
that,
for
you,
properties
that
have
been
approved
more
recently,
a
substantial
number
in
neighborhoods,
including
the
Dorchester
area,
Alston
Brighton
and
some
other
areas.
This
is
just
to
give
you
a
quick
outline
of
when
we
talk
about
area
median
income.
What
this
means
for
most
of
our
rental
units
we
use
70%
of
ami
as
I
maximum
income.
That's
our
current
policy
and
for
rental
units.
We
use
80%
of
AMI
and
100%
of
ami
is
our
maximum.
C
This
is
intended
to
meet
that
next
range
of
people
who
were
being
priced
out
of
our
neighborhoods,
for
example,
for
two-bedroom
condo
sales
in
Boston
for
2016.
Only
4%
of
those
condo
sales
were
less
expensive
than
the
condos
we
have
in
our
80%
bracket.
So
we
are
meeting
a
need
that
is
not
there
in
terms
of
the
market.
C
C
Many
of
these
can
do
so
through
the
assistance
of
other
supports,
such
as
section
8,
Housing
Choice
vouchers,
through
both
existence
of
the
inclusionary
development
policy
and
efforts
of
other
city
agencies.
Income
restricted
units
are
getting
built
in
central
Boston
neighborhoods
before
IDP,
only
21
percent
of
affordable
units
were
built
in
downtown
neighborhoods,
while
35%
of
all
housing
units
were
built
in
these
neighborhoods
forth.
C
Over
the
last
three
years
we've
increased
to
where
43
percent
of
all
units
were
completed
in
those
neighborhoods,
but
also
43
percent
of
affordable
units
were
increased
from
those
neighborhoods,
so
we're
building
at
the
same
pace
in
downtown
neighborhoods
as
overall
units.
This
is
important
for
keeping
neighborhoods
that
are
economically
diverse
and
making
sure
that
there
is
a
choice
for
people
who
live
in
downtown
neighborhoods.
C
C
Most
of
these
units
are
more
deeply
affordable
in
IDP
units
as
the
department
neighbor
development
marry
these
funds
with
other
funds
to
make
more
affordable
projects
happen.
73
percent
of
units
are
targeted
for
households
making
less
than
50,000
and
of
these
and
18
percent
for
making
less
than
25
thousand
just
to
highlight
a
couple
of
projects
that
have
been
funded
this
year
with
IDP
funds
complete
with
Patriot
homes.
It's
completed
in
2016,
it
transformed
the
former
d6
police
station
in
South
Boston
into
24
apartments
for
veterans
and
their
families.
C
We
have
the
Oxford
ping
Hong
in
Chinatown
is
also
completely
in
2016
by
the
nonprofit
Chinese
Economic
Development
Corporation.
What
was
once
a
parking
lot
is
now
a
67
Yuna
building
with
affordable
units
serving
seven
very
low-income
households
and
59
low-income
households.
This
is
a
substantial
infusion
of
IDP
funds
from
a
neighboring
120
Kingston
Street
project
known
as
the
Radian,
and
given
that
the
significant
level
of
development
in
and
around
Chinatown,
this
is
an
important
project
for
maintaining
that
community.
C
A
third
one
is
also
one
that
has
a
veteran
focus,
which
is
the
residents
at
Brighton
Marine.
It
honors
the
history
and
use
of
the
vacant
underlies
Brighton
marine
Health
Centre.
By
restoring
some
of
the
historical
structures
and
providing
mixed
income
housing
for
veterans,
80-100
TS
will
be
income
restricted.
This
is
this
is
a
proof
project
that
we
hope
will
actually
is
approved
in
2016.
We
hope
it
will
go
into
the
ground
in
2017.
C
Another
important
thing
to
mark
out
is
the
fact
that
the
federal
government
has
decreased
its
support
for
affordable
housing
over
the
years.
At
one
point,
there
has
been
very
little
drop
in
federal
support,
but,
given
inflation,
those
funds
go,
don't
go
as
far
and
also
we
have
really
had
to
pick
up
the
tab
here
in
the
City
of
Austin
before
the
existence
of
the
inclusionary
development
policy.
78%
of
the
funding
we
used
was
from
federal
home
or
federal
CDBG
dollars
over
the
last
five
years.
C
This
has
meant
we
have
done
an
increase
in
funding
from
before
IDP
from
four
million
a
year
to
an
average
of
21
million
a
year
in
terms
of
recent
initiative
policy
related
we've
included
density
bonuses
in
this
plan,
south
a
very
and
in
lead,
JP
rocks
area
in
terms
of
operations
and
m11
tation.
We
have
the
housing
compliance
department
which
Peter
Sasso
is
in
the
back
is
our
director.
We
have
new
staff
who
are
helping
to
keep
the
trains
running.
C
As
you
might
say,
we
have
a
new
webpage
design
and
includes
buckets
for
individual
users
or
its
developers
or
consumers,
so
they
can
guide
themselves
better.
We
have
a
new
dedicated
phone
number
so
that
people
making
inquiries
can
get
direct
direct
answers
from
staff
and
also
strong,
stronger
cross-agency
relationships
with
fair
housing.
The
disability,
Commission
and
Neighborhood
Development.
In
fact,
we
have
members
of
all
three
of
those
here
in
the
room
with
us
tonight
for
any
questions
on
this
or
the
next
item.
C
We
have
Sarah
Lyon
from
the
disability,
Commission
Alexis
Buckley
from
Fair
Housing
and
in
Regan
ajar
from
the
Department
of
Development.
So
with
that,
if
there
are
any
questions,
also
next
efforts
we
want
to
implement
the
density
bonuses,
seek
passage
of
an
inclusionary
zoning
law
so
that
the
inclusionary
development
policy
is
in
the
zoning
code
and
also
in
operations
adding
Administrative
Hearings
for
issues
related
to
our
occupancy
or
certification,
online
lottery
applications
and
working
towards
a
citywide
one-stop
application.
Ok,.
A
A
C
N
Well,
I
would
just
add
that
there's
a
tremendous
amount
of
very
useful
data
and
dense
data
in
this
report,
and
not
everyone,
is
in
a
position
to
analyze
what
the
key
takeaways
are
and
I
think.
It
would
be
helpful
if,
at
the
very
top
of
the
report,
some
of
those
could
be
highlighted
in
a
way
that
would
emphasize.
For
example,
what
in
your
report
that
came
up
towards
the
end,
for
example
the
decline
in
the
federal
and
other
outside
funding,
the
challenges
that
that
creates
for
any
city.
N
Oh
yeah,
I
know
that
building
and
I
didn't
know
that
that
building
had
been
developed
as
a
result
of
a
conscious
policy
on
the
part
of
the
city
to
in
effect,
spread
the
wealth
in
a
way
that
benefits
those
who
are
less
in
a
position
to
afford
very
high
rents
and
alike.
But
I
think
that
this
is
really
great
and
I
also
think
that,
in
the
context
of
our
having
approved
the
2030
plan,
it
would
be
helpful
among
the
takeaways
to
reference
the
key
steps
that
are
anticipated
coming
out
of
that
plan.
C
B
Thank
you.
We're
going
to
go
on
to
item
number
17,
request
authorization
to
amend
the
inclusionary
development
policy
to
ensure
that
the
IDP
units
include
units
that
are
accessible
to
those
with
certain
disabilities
and
to
create
a
pilot,
neighborhood
diversity,
preservation,
preference
policy
with
respect
to
the
marketing
of
the
IDP
units.
Tim.
Thank
you
so.
C
Previous
to
today,
the
inclusionary
development
policy
did
not
require
that
any
of
the
units
supplied
by
a
developer
as
part
of
their
IDP
allocation
be
these
accessible
units.
However,
developers
are
required
to
provide
such
units
in
the
building
overall,
as
part
of
the
state
building
code
for
a
building
with
20
units
or
more,
they
are
usually
required
to
have
5%
of
their
units,
be
handicapped,
accessible
or
rather
accessible.
C
Some
of
the
disability
impairment
with
that
kind
of
impairment
and
2%
for
someone
with
a
sensory
impairment
over
the
last
year,
so
I've
worked
with
the
disability
Commission.
We
have
requested
those
units
as
part
of
the
allocation
of
developers
on
an
ongoing
basis.
However,
now
in
conjunction
with
the
disability,
housing
task
force,
work
which
has
been
ongoing
for
about
a
year
or
so
and
with
the
Department
Neighborhood
Development.
C
Who
is
spearheading
that,
with
the
disability
Commission,
we
agreed
that
it
would
be
a
worthwhile
effort
to
ask
this
board
to
require
that
a
certain
percentage
of
IDP
units
in
buildings
that
require
these
units
are
also
part
of
the
allocation.
So
we
are
requesting
that
it
be
15%
of
the
IDP
notes
in
these
buildings.
It
does
not
require
an
additional
ad,
a
requirement
on
the
developer.
C
It's
just
increasing
and
making
a
requirement
that
there's
a
part
of
our
allocation,
so,
for
example,
in
a
typical
building
with
20
or
30
units
will
automatically
get
one
unit
while
they
may
be
creating
two
or
three
such
units.
So
it's
it's
not
a
huge
in
our
meetings
with
developers
or
we've
asked
them
for
those
units.
It
is
not,
then,
there's
not
going
to
push
back
on
that,
but
it
does
take
a
considered
effort
on
our
part
to
make
sure
that
we're
actually
getting
those
units-
and
this
just
puts
it
down
in
the
policy.
C
The
second
piece
oh
and
Sarah,
Lee
Young-
is
here.
If
you
have
any
questions,
we'll
do
those
I
think
after
we
talk
about
the
second
part.
The
second
part
is
to
address
potential
displacement
through
a
neighborhood
diversity,
preservation,
preference.
This
is
a
new
preference
that
would
be,
we
would
be
piloting,
it
would
be
allowed
on
certain
properties.
We
would
not
be
doing
it
automatically.
C
We
would
be
bringing
it
to
the
board
as
part
of
the
board
memo
when
we
chose
to
do
it
in
this
program,
which
has
this
pod
there's
already
been
one
pilot
done
at
52,
Montebello
Road,
the
Department
neighborhood
development
used
as
preference
for
it
has
been
a
million
dejar
who's
here
from
the
department
of
development
who
is
one
of
their
mapping
and
research.
Experts
did
a
lot
of
work
on
this.
We
are
addressing
a
long
term
desire
many
neighborhoods
to
provide
a
neighborhood
preference,
but
one
that
does
not
recreate
segregation.
C
That
has
been
the
question
about
using
neighbor
preference
is
that
you
know
if
it's
a
neighborhood
that
is
all
one
ethnicity,
you're,
just
keeping
a
neighborhood
of
all
one
ethnicity
and
rather
than
giving
choice
to
people
from
all
over
the
city,
so
it
is,
cannot
be
used
in
every
neighbor
of
the
city.
It
can
only
be
used
in
areas
where
not
more
than
60%
of
the
population
is
one
racial
or
ethnic
group.
So,
looking
at
this
map,
you
can
see
that
there's
areas
in
the
darker
color
our
areas
where
neighborhoods
are
more
than
60%
white.
C
Under
this
pilot
it
would
go
for
half
of
the
IDP
units
in
a
particular
project
and
it's
a
preference.
So
if
there's
not
sufficient
people
in
the
pool
for
that
preference,
then
it
would
go
to
someone
else.
It
goes
for
a
set
area
around
a
development.
So,
for
example,
if
it's
a
smaller
project,
it
might
be
a
1/4
mile
buffer,
a
medium-size
project.
It
might
be
a
half
mile
buffer
and
etc
that
they
also.
There
are
a
few
qualifications
for
being
eligible
for
help
for
that
they
need
to
be
either
1a.
C
Rent
burns
household
not
already
living
in
a
subsidized
housing
unit,
so
someone
paying
significant
amount
of
their
income
towards
rent
elderly
household
incomes
who
are
low
to
moderate
income
renters
with
a
disability
or
renter
household,
with
a
household
income
under
80
percent
of
IMI
with
school
age,
children
and
a
Boston
School.
So
these
are
things
meant
to
keep
families
and
individuals
who
already
live
in
the
neighborhood
to
be
able
to
stay
in
the
neighborhood.
A
Not
really
a
question,
it's
just
a
comment.
I
just
think
it's
a
little
complicated
oops,
but
but
I
really
do
appreciate
trying
to
find
you
know
procedural
and
policy
and
trying
to
use
policy
and
come
up
with
solutions
well,
complicated
but
kind
of
you
know
the
complicated
questions
or
complicated
issues
and
I
just
really
commend
the
staff
and
the
mayor
for
kind
of
being
courageous
enough
to
let
slip
these
down
on
paper
and
and
try
and
try
and
see
if
these
work
and
and
make
that
effort.
So
again,
just
great
job.
N
There
are
very
few
easy
solutions,
and
while
this
is
clearly
somewhat
complex,
it's
worth
the
effort
and
let's
enforce
it
as
rigorously
as
we
can
to
see
how
well
it
works
on
the
first
initiative.
I
think
very
few
cities
really
address
issues
of
handicapped
accessibility
in
the
development
of
new
housing
in
the
way
you're
proposing
and
I
have
to
say
that
I've
always
been
an
advocate
for.
N
Accessibility
across
the
board,
I
was
once
on
the
board
of
the
adaptive
environment
Center.
Now
the
Institute
of
human
centered
design
here
in
Boston,
a
really
great
group
that
advocates
for
Universal
Design
and
in
that
capacity.
I
realized
that
designing
in
a
universal
way
is
not
the
way
most
developers
think
but
the
actual
costs
of
putting
in
a
wider
door
or
having
elevators
that
work
for
people
with
limited
sight.
Or
what
have
you
doesn't
have
to
cost
more
and,
in
fact,
makes
those
housing
units
much
more
acceptable
housing
units
for
a
wider
range
of
people.
N
Who
find
it
difficult
to
navigate
many
of
our
neighborhoods
and
buildings.
The
way
they've
been
designed
for
so
long
and
if
I
was
ever
an
advocate
before
I'm.
A
rabid
advocate
at
this
moment
for
the
city,
taking
the
strongest
possible
position
that
it
can
take
to
make
every
one
of
our
neighborhoods
and
every
one
of
our
facilities
and
our
private
housing
accessible
to
everyone.
It's
the
kind
of
city
we
want
to
be,
and
it's
the
kind
of
city
we
can
be,
but
only
through
concerted
effort.
N
W
A
C
B
W
Evening,
chairman
Burke

the

I
mentioned

My
long
happy
to

Okay,.
B
X
A
A
I
I
This
has
been
a
big
few
weeks
for
us
in
regard
to
some
important
policies
and
I
appreciate,
on
behalf
of
the
agency,
the
acknowledgment
of
some
of
the
really
innovative
and
imaginative
approaches
that
we've
taken
to
some
of
the
problems
we
face
in
the
city
with
regard
to
affordable
housing
and
accessible
housing
in
Tim
Davis
has
done
just
a
tremendous
job.
I
can't
say
enough
about
it.
I
The
work
of
Tim
his
is
superior
Peter
Sasso,
who
heads
up
the
compliance
division
of
which
Tim
as
a
member
in
that
whole
team,
the
the
IDP
report
that
they
just
that
the
Tim
just
walked
you
through.
It's
a
response
to
our
need
as
an
organization
to
tell
our
story
better,
I,
think
historically,
throughout
the
agency
60
year,
history,
sometimes
it
gets
to
see
just,
doesn't
feel
that
it's
worthwhile
to
aggressively
tell
the
positive
side.
I
That
story
was
told
succinctly
and
clearly
in
this
bridging
the
gap,
our
story
of
the
creation
of
middle
income
housing
through
the
inclusionary
development
program.
We
conducted
a
roundtable
a
couple
days
ago
with
the
mayor
and
the
press
and
Tim
Logan
of
the
globe.
I
think
did
really
a
magnificent
job,
telling
in
a
very
straightforward
manner.
What
exactly
is
happening.
The
numbers
of
units
being
created
for
people
who
would
otherwise
not
be
well
served
by
market
forces
in
1700
units
created
in
another
1,300
units,
either
underway
or.
V
I
To
get
underway
for
a
total
of
3,000
units,
that's
3,000
individuals
and
families
found
more
than
3,000.
People
are
being
served
by
these
units
and
and
once
again
I'm
grateful
to
Tim
Davis
and
that
entire
team
for
helping
tell
the
story
so
effectively
and
frankly,
I'm
very
grateful
to
the
globe
for
helping
us
tell
that
story.
I
One
thing
I,
don't
know
if
I
don't
think
to
mentioned.
July
25th
was
the
Boston
planning
and
development
agency
and
disability
housing
task
force,
accessibility,
Day
in
Boston
we
had
an
event
out
on
City
Hall,
plaza
mayor
Boston,
signed
a
proclamation
to
that
effect
again
once
again,
validating
and
saluting
our
efforts
to
do
to
take
important
steps
to
make
the
units
that
are
being
created,
more
accessible
and
as
Tim
walked.
I
You
through
some
of
the
efforts
working
closely
with
Kristin
mcComish
and
her
staff
at
the
Commission
for
persons
with
disabilities,
we're
helping
create
more
IDP
units
that
are
accessible.
We
made
two
important
policy
changes
to
that
effect,
so
another
job
well
done
and
again,
as
Tim
just
mentioned,
we
have
really
leaned
forward
to
identify
a
mechanism
which
we
think
passes
legal
muster
to
offer
neighborhood
preferences
in
neighborhoods
of
certain
diverse
character.
I
We
hear
a
lot
about
this,
whether
or
not
we
can
prefer
or
offer
a
preference
for
people
who
live
in
a
neighborhood
when
when
affordable
housing
comes
online,
it's
difficult,
it's
legally
tricky,
but
there
are
some
avenues
of
approach
to
that
problem
and
in
Tim,
Davis
and
Peter.
Sauces
team
have
helped
us
once
again
in
that
regard
by
adopting
an
innovative
policy
loss.
I'm.
Sorry,
two
nights
ago
the
mayor
and
I
went
over
to
the
Brazilian
consulate
on
Purchase
Street
over
by
the
Rose
Kennedy
Greenway,
to
celebrate
the
work
of
our
own
director
of
research.
I
Alvaro
Lima
al
grows
the
author
of
a
brand
new
book
in
the
Brazilian
consulate
to
the
United
States
in
Boston
hosted
a
reception
to
salute
Alvaro
in
the
work.
The
book
is
called
Brazilians
in
the
United
States
half
a
century,
remaking
America
and
it's
a
they
concise
history
of
the
Brazilian
experience.
In
the
United
States
over
the
past
50
years,
so
we
thank
Alvaro
for
contributing
to
the
dialogue.
That
is,
that
is
pervasive
in
American
society
right
now
with
regard
to
the
contributions
of
immigrant
populations
into
this
nation
of
immigrants.
I
So
we're
really
grateful
and
proud
that
Alvaro
has
added
his
voice
to
that
conversation.
In
finally
imagine
2030.
This
is
an
epic
moment,
the
first
citywide,
hence
of
general
plan
in
over
50
years,
52
years
to
be
exact
and
a
lot
of
BPD,
a
staff
work
and
the
Planning
Division
other
divisions
as
well.
I
Frankly,
a
lot
of
other
city
agencies,
stakeholder
organizations
throughout
the
city
and
individuals,
often
weighing
in
from
from
home
through
operand
digital
technology
through
this
software
program
that
we
acquired
over
two
years
ago,
called
textas
and
which
which
allows
you
to
weigh
in
and
weigh
in
in
small
ways.
And
if
you
want
to
weigh
in
in
big
ways,
we
had
a
variety
of
mechanisms
to
do
that,
just
that.
So
we're
grateful
to
the
15,000
Bostonians,
who
added
their
voice
to
the
the
collective
determination
of
a
vision
board.
I
It's
about
Boston
today,
tomorrow
and,
as
the
chairman
pointed
out
generations,
this
product
will
pay
dividends
in
assuring
a
better
quality
of
life
for
all
Bostonians
and
every
end
of
the
economic
spectrum,
probably
for
generations
to
come.
So
thanks
to
Sarah
Meyerson
and
her
team
at
in
the
planning
division,
all
the
other
folks
at
the
BPD,
a
who
helped
the
imagined
2030
team,
Rebecca
Emanuel,
who
had
who
had
been
serving
as
executive
director
till
a
few
days
ago.
Rebecca
has
gone
on
to
new
opportunities.

Y
Right,
thank
you
good
afternoon.
Mr.
chairman
members
of
the
board,
before
you
this
evening
is
the
first
amendment
to
the
Massachusetts
College
of
Pharmacy
and
health
sciences,
institutional
master
plan.
The
amendment
seeks
to
add
one
property
located
at
704
Huntington
Avenue
in
Mission
Hill
neighborhood
to
the
math
College
of
Pharmacy
InP
area.
The
property
is
an
approximately
3,000
square-foot
brick
row
house,
which
will
be
used
to
expand
the
existing
president's
residence.
The
space
will
also
be
used
for
alumni
receptions,
university
events
and
meetings.
Y
There
will
be
some
interior
renovations,
AB,
no
exterior
changes
to
the
building
are
proposed.
The
amendment
has
received
positive
feedback
during
a
30-day
comment
period
and
was
supported
at
public
meetings
of
the
university
task
force
and
Longwood
Medical
area
forum
to
explain
the
project
in
more
detail
and
answer
any
questions.
You
may
have
introduce
Jim
green
from
Reuben
and
Rudman
to
further
the
project
presentation.
Thank.
Z
Thank
You
Katelyn
Jim,
Burke,
I'm,
the
Royal
hostile
and
mark,
and
director
Goldman.
My
name
is
James
green
I'm
gonna
turn
you
with
the
firm
of
Reuben
and
Ludman
I'm
pleased
to
be
here
this
evening
on
behalf
of
the
University.
As
Caitlin
indicated,
the
university
has
filed
an
amendment
to
which
institutional
master
plan
of
2014
to
add
a
building
at
7:04
Huntington
Ave,
which
is
shown
to
the
right
of
these
three
buildings.
The
university
owns
presently
700
to
702
Huntington
F,
which
is
called
the
Brant
house.
Z
It
is
a
house
of
the
University
used
for
functions
used
for
Alumni
Relations
used
for
events
to
promote
the
university
by
its
alumni,
its
Dean's
professors
and
the
president.
The
ability
to
add
704,
Huntington
Ave
was
an
opportunity.
The
university
had
last
year
when
the
prior
owner,
John
Adams,
passed
away
and
her
estate
sold
his
property
by
acquiring
at
the
university
would
be
able
to
preserve
it
and
incorporate
it
into
the
campus.
Z
We
feel
that
it
is
an
appropriate
addition
to
the
existing
branch
house
on
Huntington
Ave
and
has
received
a
wide
range
of
support
from
the
neighborhood,
which
is
the
triangle
neighborhood.
In
Mission
Hill,
it's
a
historic
neighborhood
and
by
preserving
this
building,
will
contribute
to
that
historic
fabric.
The
I
can
go
to
some
of
these
slides
with
respect
to
the
location.
Give
you
a
aerial
view.
Z
This
shows
the
location
within
the
Triangle
neighborhood.
So
these
a
series
of
row
buildings
next
to
the
parking
lot
way
to
the
left.
This
used
to
be
a
ticket
wisdom,
Arby's
roast
beef
that
had
a
fire
back
in
the
60s
and
has
never
been
developed.
It's
always
been
used
as
a
parking
lot
and
to
the
right
as
you
go
up.
Huntington
Aveo
come
to
Brigham
circle,
so
this
small
block
is
an
important
block.
We,
the
university,
has
the
main
building
and
center
in
the
building
at
704,
which
we
acquired.
Z
This
is
a
better
view.
I
believe
of
the
building
you
can
see.
704
is
a
small
building.
The
Lodi
area
is
about
3,500
square
feet
in
the
building
typical
for
this
area
of
Mission
Hill
and
the
triangle
prob
about
17
feet
wide
and
about
70
feet
deep.
So,
although
it's
a
row
house,
it's
a
tight
tight
building,
the
s
Kaitlyn
indicated
this
was
filed
for
an
amendment
to
the
2014
I
MP.
It
has
gone
through
the
process
of
community
review
and
LMA
review.
Z
We
did
receive
back
in
2004
a
support
of
the
neighborhood
for
a
master
plan
which
entail
the
development
of
an
academic
building
on
this
side
of
Huntington
average
was
probably
the
first
and
main
many
years
in
that
academic
building
was
a
mid-rise,
I'd,
say
seven
stories
in
lieu
of
a
ill-conceived
plan
early
in
the
1990s.
To
put
a
dormitory
here,
so
we
listen
to
the
community.
Put
an
academic
building
in
data.
Z
Kept
academic
building
actually
serves
as
a
community
space
for
a
number
of
meetings
that
the
authority
has
for
various
projects
in
the
neighborhood,
and
so
this
is
a
small
project.
It
does
have
the
support
we
believe
of
a
number
of
individuals
and
community
groups,
which
is
in
the
record,
and
by
incorporating
this
into
the
master
plan.
It
will
be
subject
to
all
of
the
controls
of
the
master
plan
by
the
University
and
the
authority
with
me.
This
evening
is
Deborah
O'malley
who's,
general
counsel
of
the
university
and
Rick
lizard
who's.
Z
B
M
B
N
N
N
N
Won't
sell,
obviously
its
carrying
its
its
weight.
The
university
has
grown
dramatically
and
it
has
always
served
a
very
global
population.
I
mean
it's
hard
to
go
into
a
single
pharmacy
anywhere
in
the
Greater
Boston
area
and
not
find
students
from
the
University
who
are
working
there
doing
their
internships,
and
we.
F
N
You're
in
an
area
where
every
additional
student
has
a
major
impact
on
residential
uses
in
the
neighborhood
and
it's
an
area
where
there's
not
a
lot
of
housing
and
recent
press
reports
have
indicated
that
the
university
is
now
in
the
process
of
working
with
other
universities
on
on
housing
as
kureta
matters.
But
it's
a
big
concern
in
Mission
Hill
and
in
that
area,
and
so
I
mean
I.
Think
it's
fine
to
move
forward
with
this.
N
You
know
you
need
to
do
fundraising
and
and
other
kinds
of
public
activities,
but
what's
the
status
of
the
university's
plan
for
housing
these
students,
because
in
some
respects
it
appears
that
your
growth
curve
could
be
virtually
infinite.
I
mean
the
school's
got
a
global
reputation
for
turning
out
outstanding
students.
I
agree.
Z
With
you,
what
I
can-
and
you
mentioned
this
partnership
with
you
know
with
other
universities
about
a
week
and
a
half
ago,
I
was
over
to
manual
with
the
topping
off
of
the
new
Julie
hall
and
half
of
that.
Hall
is
going
to
be
occupied
by
the
university
together
with
a
manual
and
that's
a
great
project
that
I
could
approve
by
the
board
here
and
we'll
alleviate
that
issue
with
respect
to
housing
and
I
manually
accounts
people
shouldn't.
Z
At
this
hearing,
but
they
are,
will
be
housing,
a
great
number
of
their
students
and
by
offering
half
of
those
units
to
the
University
they're,
assisting
the
university
and
providing
housing
for
their
students
too.
So,
as
other
opportunities
come
forward
and
I'm
sure,
the
board
has
seen
more
than
I
have
it's
a
way
for
other
universities
to
partner
and
house
their
students,
instead
of
putting
them
up
on
Park,
Hill,
Avenue,
okay,.
N
Z
Something
that
we
have
to
look
at
is
something
that
we
have
issues
with
respect
to
ensuring
that
the
financing
is
in
place
that
the
location
is
in
place.
We
are
in
a
tight
location
than
the
LMA,
as
you
well
know,
and
we
have
used
every
inch
of
our
space
to
the
extent
we
can,
and
so
you
can't,
we
can
find
other
locations
for
our
students
that
won't
impact
the
neighborhood
that
they're
going
in
that
would
be
a
plus
for
us
and
for
the
neighborhoods,
as
well
as
the
city.
Okay,.
N

This
is

Mr.
Rooney
we'll
begin

presentation.
Thank.
U
You
good
evening,
chairman
Burke
Madam
Secretary
members
of
the
board.
The
proposed
project
is
located
at
50
Stanford
Street
in
the
West
End
neighborhood
of
Boston,
which
is
within
plan
development
area
number
seven,
and
it's
governed
by
the
1957
West
End
urban
renewal
plan.
The
site
is
currently
and
will
remain
a
medical
office
building
with
below-grade
parking.
U
The
proponent
is
proposing
an
amendment
to
the
amended
and
restated
development
plan
for
PDA
number,
seven
in
order
to
add
approximately
19,500
square
feet
a
floor
area
to
the
existing
ten
story,
building
mostly
by
filling
in
the
ground
level
of
the
existing
structure.
The
proponent
also
plans
to
improve
an
underutilized
courtyard
in
the
back
of
the
site
to
allow
for
more
accessible
vehicular
and
pedestrian
access,
as
well
as
to
create
more
parking
in
a
building
entry
to
facilitate
this
proposed
project.
U
Minor
modifications
are
required
to
the
West
End
land
assembly
and
redevelopment
plan,
which
is
laid
out
in
detail
on
the
board
memo.
These
changes
include,
but
are
not
limited
to
updating
language,
to
allow
for
an
increase
of
allowed
floor
area
ratio
from
four
hundred
and
fifty
five
percent
to
four
hundred.
Sixty
percent
of
the
area
of
the
parcel,
the
proposed
modifications
are
found
to
be
minor
and
do
not
substantially
or
materially
alter
or
change
the
West
End
plan.
U
As
for
the
article
eighty
process
on
April
10th,
the
proponent
filed
the
first
amendment
to
amend
it
in
restated
development
plan
for
planned
development
area
number,
seven
to
BPD
a
sponsored
public
public
meetings
were
held
at
the
West
End
Museum
on
May
17th
and
August
8th
in
the
BPD.
A
comment
period
concluded
on
May
31st.
U
The
concerns
we
heard
in
the
community
were
related
to
traffic
and
pedestrian
flow
on
William
O
Connell
way,
primarily
with
an
originally
proposed
loading
dock.
The
proponent
has
removed
that
loading
dock
and
will
use
their
current
loading
dock,
which
is
underground
in
the
parking
garage
near
the
site,
which
is
why
we
then
held
a
second
public
meeting
to
discuss
those
changes
to
the
community
for
mitigation
in
public
benefits.
The
proponent
shall
make
various
sidewalk
terrorist
accessibility
and
streetscape
improvements
on
public
property
in
coordination
with
city
agencies
in
around
50
Sanford
Street.
U
Additionally,
the
proponent
will
make
a
$19,000
contribution
to
the
area
transportation
planning
exercise
for
the
neighborhood,
as
designed
in
defined
by
the
BPD,
a
BPD,
a
staff
fails.
This
project
brings
much
needed
improvement
to
the
location
and
is
recommending
approving
the
proposal,
an
alternative,
Jojo
Hanley
to
present
on
the
project.
We
happy
to
answer
any
questions:
okay,.
T
Thank
you
Michael
good
evening,
chairman
Burke
members
of
the
board,
Madame
secretary
attorney
Jo
Hanley,
mcdermott,
quilty
and
Miller
I
have
with
me
the
principles
of
the
development
team,
as
well
as
our
marketing
and
community
consultants
who
have
worked
on
the
project
before
you.
Also
the
architects
for
the
development
team,
margulies
Peruzzi,
Jason
Costello,
who
all
have
take
you
through
the
bulk
of
the
presentation,
but
just
to
lead
you
off
with
a
few
slides.
T
The
first
slide
you'll
see
just
shows
you.
Some
of
the
benefits
is
Michael
indicated.
This
is
relatively
small
and
scale,
but
it's
a
very
important
health
care-related
existing
asset
that
my
client
has
recently
acquired
and
is
looking
to
upgrade.
A
lot
of
the
upgrades
you'll
see
relate
to
infrastructure
improvements
for
accessibility,
which
is
very
important
to
a
lot
of
the
patients
and
visitors
to
the
medical
office,
building
the
creation
of
additional
jobs
and
enhancing
on-site
parking.
The
next
slide
showed
sorry.
T
Erricka
plan
development
area
PDA
number
seven,
the
entire
area
is
about
9.2
acres
along
Stanford,
Street
and
ylim
as
new
way
in
Cardinal
O'connor
way.
We
are
just
a
small
part
of
that.
We
are
the
ten
story,
medical
office
building,
which
is
in
area
F
if
you
will,
and
that
PDA
was
made
effective
in
1972
and
was
amended
in
2016
by
equity,
who
has
sort
of
the
lion's
share
of
assets
in
there.
T
So
the
proposal
is
limited
to
the
renovation
of
the
existing
ten
story,
office
building
and
the
structured
parking
facility
located
at
50,
Standiford
Street,
as
Michael
indicated.
The
addition
is
ninth
is
nineteen
thousand
five
hundred
square
feet
and
it's
all
at
the
ground
level.
That's
meant
to
better
engage
the
street,
enhance
the
pedestrian,
patient
and
visitor
experience,
and
that
includes
facade
site
and
parking
pedestrian
vehicle
access
improvements.
T
We
have
a
defined
drop-off
area
as
well
as
an
existing
courtyard
that
we
think
we've
better
utilized
in
order
to
provide
better
accessibility
and
bring
this
this
building
and
facility
into
the
into
the
future.
Also,
adding
you
go
into
this
building
and
my
dermatologist
is
here
their
dermatology
eye
surgeons
and
the
like
the
ground
floor
is
dated
and
doesn't
have
a
lot
of
amenities
and
we'd
like
to
update
that
Lobby
experience,
so
just
some
very
quick
notations
on
the
minor
modification.
T
There
are
some
new
paving
areas,
but
most
of
the
changes
are
to
enhance
the
pedestrian
and
ground
plane
and
public
realm.
Finally,
again,
the
the
modular
modification
of
the
urban
renewal
plan
we
would
submit
this
is
compliant
with
your
standards
for
approval
of
minor
modifications.
We're
talking
about
an
F
AR
increase
from
four
point:
five,
four
to
four
point:
six,
so
it's
it's
minimal
in
nature
and
it's
consistent
with
the
spirit
and
intent
of
the
original
urban
renewal
plan
and
will
also
enhance
the
pedestrian
experience
and
I'll
hand
this
off
to
Jason.
T
AA
Good
evening,
chairman
Burke
Madam
Secretary
members
of
the
board
our
site,
as
alluded
to
by
Joe.
Let
me
see,
let's
make
sure
I
get
the
that's
the
laser.
A
fifty
Stanford
is
fronted
on
the
west
by
Stanford
Street,
the
south,
by
O'connell
way
the
west
by
O'connell
way,
and
then
the
Longfellow
towers
to
our
north.
AA
AA
The
first
floor
entries
are
recessed
under
the
top
of
the
underneath
the
ten
storey
tower
and
are
difficult
to
identify
for
both
pedestrians
and
automobiles
arriving
at
the
site.
The
final
component
like
to
discuss
is
also
the
courtyard
there's,
an
existing
courtyard,
with
drive
lane
access
that
is
extensively
underutilized.
It's
limited
by
this
drive
here.
AA
That
is
a
single
lane
accessing
up
to
the
court
here
in
elevated
courtyard,
and
then
this
presence
of
these
planters
on
the
courtyard
really
impact
the
ability
to
allow
any
public
vehicular
traffic
up
to
that
to
be
able
to
navigate
in
navigate
safely
and
then
exit
again.
So
that's
been
up
until
this
point
restricted
the
project's
design.
AA
It's
been
really
informed
by
the
presence
of
two
things:
the
building
above
we're
building
out
and
beyond
the
existing
tower
above
and
then
the
area
highlighted
in
blue
is
the
parking
garage
below
so
we're
actually
utilizing,
particularly
along
the
south
edge
of
O'connor
of
the
site
that
existing
foundation
wall
to
build
up
with
the
new
addition
to
help
minimize
the
impact
on
the
adjacent
sidewalk
and
then
the
electrical
vault
here
is
another
important
component.
That's
below
grade
on
the
site.
AA
Here's
the
existing
view
from
the
corner
of
Santa
fir'd
Street,
again
very
difficult
to
identify
where
the
entries
of
the
building
do
the
overhang
and
we're
looking
to
correct
that
by
introducing
reclad
een,
60,
Stanford,
Street
and
Santa
Fe
sheet
in
general,
along
introducing
some
terraced
seating
along
the
very
steep
McConnell
or
Stanford.
Street
elevation
new
act
grade
entry
point
at
the
corner,
bringing
that
right
up
to
the
front
and
then
the
O'connell
Way
entrance
on
the
south
looking
to
improve
that
with
new
direct
ramp
right
at
the
entry
door.
AA
So
we'll
have
an
accessible
ramp
at
the
entry
new
stairs
and
do
entry
highlighted
by
a
mix
of
stone
and
metal
panel
and
canopy.
We
have
a
covered
walkway.
The
courtyard
we're
reconfiguring
the
courtyard
to
provide
an
entry
point
with
new
canopy,
removing
those
and
creating
a
more
Hospital
friendly
or
health
care.
Oriented
entry
points
so
that
there
is
coverage
for
2
to
3
cars
as
well
as
an
accessible
route
for
the
neighbors
down
in
the
West
End
to
come
up
and
access
the
building
at
that
location.
AA
And
then
sean
has
been
working
deeply
with
us
and
Joe
alluded
to
this.
A
extensive
ten
month
period
was
the
culmination
of
ten
months
of
working
with
local
civic
associations
neighbors
and
incorporating
their
comments,
balancing
that
with
our
friends
at
BT,
D
and
B
PDA,
to
bring
that
forward.
Dock
okay.
B
B
A
Have
a
question
and
you
I
think
you
started
to
address
it-
a
saying
that
that
the
one
of
the
biggest
concerns
of
the
neighborhood,
where
was
traffic
and
kind
of
the
safety
of
pedestrians?
Do
you
think
that
I
guess
the
design
of
the
existing
design
really
address
addresses
some
of
those
issues
or
all
those
issues
or
is
there
anything,
that's
still
going
to
be
kind
of
tough,
but
you
just
can't
I
do.
U
U
Ongoing
study
I
do
think
that
this
project
does
improve
the
quality
of
the
pedestrian
access
points
throughout
the
site,
with
the
drop
location
on
the
back
of
the
site,
and
then
it
was
also
a
recommendation
from
BPD
a
staff
and
BTD
to
put
a
drop-off
location
on
the
other
side
of
William
O
Connell
way.
Currently,
cars
and
trucks
pull
up
onto
the
sidewalk
they're
blocking
traffic
there
was
a
community
can
turn
that
car's
may
stay
there
for
long
periods
of
time.
U
A
F
A
AA
There
is
an
addition
of
interior
space
and
it's
a
mix
of
enlarging
the
main
lobby
for
the
building
currently
due
to
the
volume
of
visitors
arriving,
it's
very
congested,
so
we're
expanding
the
lobby
and
introducing
approximately
four
thirteen
thousand
square
feet
of
new
tenant
space
on
the
first
floor
and
then
in
the
basement.
It
is
all
tenant
space
and.
T
N
N
Circling
and
I
very
much
appreciate
that
you
thinking
about
adding
a
second
access
point
at
the
rear
of
the
building-
and
you
know
better
than
I
people
being
dropped
off
in
a
wheelchair,
take
longer
to
be
dropped
off
than
people
getting
out
of
you
know
an
uber
or
lyft
or
taxi,
and
just
the
logistics
of
moving
people
around
this
site
and
into
it
for
the
medical
related
uses,
it
seems
to
me,
can
benefit
from
some
further
enhancement
here.
I
mean
I.
N
Think
the
overall
project
is
very
good
one
and
and
should
meet
the
concerns
that
have
been
raised
by
the
neighborhood,
but
it's
also
enabled
it's
full
of
other
medical
uses
and
finding
this
particular
building
and
the
entrance
to
it.
Even
given
the
the
new
facade
may
still
be
a
little
bit
difficult
and
so
I
would
encourage
you
to
do
what
you
need
to
do.
You
know
it
could
be
signage,
it
could
be
sculpture,
it
could
be
lighted.
