Quincy Zoning Board of Appeals: September 8, 2026

The Quincy Zoning Board of Appeals met on September 8, 2026, to consider several zoning and variance requests related to property development and business expansion. Key procurement-related discussions included a variance approval for Martin Gordon to install a 10x6 vinyl-sided shed at 300 Manet Avenue, with a 24-month extension granted for a related matter on French Street. A significant agenda item was the proposed subdivision and construction of a three-story two-family dwelling at 5557 French Street by Quinsey LLC, which was ultimately withdrawn by the applicant after concerns about size, parking, and floodplain issues were raised by board members and neighbors. Additionally, the board approved a special permit for Brian Gray to expand the existing veterinary clinic at 176 Willlet Street by utilizing the second floor for additional office space, with assurances given regarding parking capacity and no anticipated increase in traffic. The meeting included detailed discussions on site plans, flood mitigation, parking, and neighborhood impact, with motions passed for the shed variance and veterinary clinic expansion, while the housing project was withdrawn.
