Overview: At the June 18, 2025 meeting of the Somerville Zoning Board, attention was devoted to two separate proposals for residential developments on Fairview Avenue, both requiring variances due to non-compliance with existing zoning regulations. One proposal involved a single-family dwelling on an undersized lot, while the other sought to build on a historically vacant “orphan lot.” Both applications were scrutinized for their alignment with neighborhood character and zoning requirements, culminating in approvals that aim to enhance the residential landscape.
