Revere Planning Board Approves Remand for ZPPA Development’s Project to ZBA
- Meeting Overview:
In a recent Revere Planning Board meeting, the board voted to remand a development proposal by ZPPA Development LLC for a 25-unit project on Salem Street back to the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) due to specific and material changes made to the original plans. These changes were made in response to earlier concerns raised by the ZBA, which had denied the project. The city solicitor confirmed that the legal standards for the changes were not only met but exceeded, particularly highlighting the addition of two affordable veterans housing units as a notable change. The board’s vote included a condition that the developer coordinates with the Superintendent of Public Works for the cleaning of the adjacent culvert on Salem Street.
The meeting began with Attorney Nancy O’Neal representing ZPPA Development LLC, detailing the changes made to the development plan following the ZBA’s denial. These changes included the addition of screening around the parking area, the installation of soundproofing materials, and the inclusion of two affordable veterans housing units aimed at addressing the ZBA’s concerns about affordable housing. O’Neal emphasized the broad support from immediate abutters for these changes.
A member of the public, John Richio, expressed his willingness to reserve further comments for the upcoming ZBA hearing, acknowledging the city solicitor’s determination.
