Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting 7/29/26

The Revere Zoning Board of Appeals held a meeting on July 29, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing and granting variances related to property development and construction projects within the city. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of variances for residential and mixed-use developments, such as a 17-story high-rise with 358 units at 1290 Northshore Road, a 42-unit apartment building at 227 River Street, and redevelopment of a lumber yard site into residential apartments. Conditions for approvals typically required recording variances with the county registry, site plan review approval prior to building permits, and restrictions on parking program participation. The board also granted an extension for a previously approved variance to build additional units and approved variances for subdividing lots to enable new single-family and two-family dwellings. Public comments highlighted support for affordable housing commitments, concerns about parking and traffic, and the benefits of replacing outdated or underutilized properties with new residential developments. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the meeting set the stage for future construction and development procurement activities in Revere.
