Quincy Zoning Board of Appeals: June 23, 2026

The Quincy Zoning Board of Appeals held a meeting on June 23, 2026, to review several property development and variance requests. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a subdivision and construction of a duplex at 115 Town Hill Street, contingent on concurrent renovation of an existing single-family home. The board also approved a variance for a second-floor deck addition at 119 Mannet Avenue. A significant portion of the meeting focused on a proposal by Galvin Development to raise an existing structure and construct seven townhouse-style condominiums at 576 Quarry Street, which required multiple variances including a use variance for multifamily use in a single-family zone. The board voted to approve this project, noting the developer's reputation and the improvement it would bring to a blighted property. Additionally, a variance was granted to convert office space at 1117 Newbury Street into an automotive car wrapping and window tinting business, with no exterior structural changes. The meeting included discussions on parking provisions, neighborhood support, and infrastructure concerns, with motions passed to approve all petitions presented.
