Wicked Local
The Belmont Zoning Board decided not to invoke safe harbor wiith the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) at their Jan. 21 meeting which means an application for a comprehensive permit for a 40B project in Belmont will move forward.
Build Wise Belmont, which represents the abutters of the project, submitted a General Land Area Minimum (GLAM) calculation to the ZBA on Jan. 15 showing Belmont has 1.524% of land devoted to subsidized housing which would allow the town to invoke safe harbor and deny the comprehensive permit application sought by Florida-based Comprehensive Land Holdings, LLC to build 12 four-bedroom rental units on a 23,500 square foot lot located at 91 Beatrice Circle.
