The
Project
As
part of the Planning Process for the Roslindale
Neighborhood, the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) has initiated
a study to develop a Neighborhood Strategic Plan. The Plan will
focus on land use, housing, open space, the public realm, institutional
growth, transportation and urban design. Recommendations for permanent
zoning will be developed to replace the current Interim Planning
Overlay District (IPOD). The IPOD is an additional layer of zoning
regulations in conjunction with underlying zoning.
The
IPOD was adopted on April 13, 2005 in response to community concerns
regarding recent development projects in Roslindale that have
been incompatible with the neighborhood's character. The IPOD
includes general land use goals to insure that development contributes
to the special character of Roslindale.
The
Roslindale Advisory Group,
which consists of community, business and institutional representatives,
has been formed to work with the City in developing the neighborhood
plan, and new zoning for Roslindale.
