Overview: The Boston Zoning Board of Appeals’ recent meeting was dominated by discussions of the ongoing operation of a homeless shelter on South Huntington Avenue, run by Victory Programs, Inc. Despite significant opposition from local residents concerned about public safety and neighborhood disruptions, the Board approved the conditional use permit for the shelter, emphasizing the need for supportive housing and services for the city’s homeless population. Additionally, the meeting addressed various other development projects.

Overview: During the Boston Zoning Board of Appeals meeting, a proposal for a 70-unit residential development in South Boston became the focal point of discussions. The project, which notably omits dedicated parking spaces, sparked debate among board members and community representatives. The development, situated at 49 to 51 D Street, aligns with the city’s broader transit-oriented development goals and is designed to leverage existing public transportation infrastructure. However, the absence of on-site parking due to high water table challenges and cost considerations met with substantial opposition from community members and local civic organizations.

Overview: The Boston Zoning Board of Appeals convened remotely on April 8, 2025, to deliberate on several development proposals across the city. The meeting addressed a variety of issues, with a strong focus on modifications to existing projects, the incorporation of affordable housing, and managing community concerns about density and parking.

Overview: In a virtual meeting of the Boston Zoning Board of Appeals on March 20, 2025, members deliberated on several zoning cases, ultimately deciding to defer a proposal for off-street parking in South Boston until the full board could review it. The proposal garnered attention, due to its implications for local parking and community engagement.

Overview: The Boston Zoning Board of Appeals convened to discuss various zoning appeals, with community support leading to the approval of a new restaurant, Biva Mipa, on Center Street, Jamaica Plain. Other topics included approval for a porch extension at a residential property.
