Somerville Zoning Board of Appeals 08-05-2026

The Somerville Zoning Board of Appeals held a remote meeting on August 5, 2026, to review several zoning cases involving property modifications and variances. Key procurement-related discussions included requests for waivers and special permits for residential development projects, such as the Clarendon Hill comprehensive permit modifications involving new waivers for transformer placement and townhouse configurations, and hardship variances for roof and mechanical equipment placements at 88 Winslow Avenue, 2 Carver Street, and 74 Morland Street. The board unanimously approved the requested waivers and variances based on staff recommendations and findings, facilitating continued development and compliance with zoning regulations. No direct contract awards or budget allocations were discussed, but the approvals impact future construction and development activities in Somerville.
