The Boston Planning and Development Agency (“BPDA”) has approved an amendment to the Boston Zoning Code that would require developers of large residential projects to create inclusive housing opportunities. Developed in consultation with the City Council and endorsed unanimously by the Council prior to the BPDA’s vote, the zoning amendment will be considered by the Boston Zoning Commission in January, and is expected to be signed by Mayor Walsh.
Once enacted, the zoning amendment will require proponents of residential projects and mixed-use projects with residential components that are subject to Large Project Review under Article 80B of the Boston Zoning Code, as well as those seeking Planned Development Area (“PDA”) approval under Article 80C of the Code, to include a new Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Component (“AFFH Component”) in the BPDA’s development impact review process.
