Article 80 Review Process
Why is review required?
Large Project Review (described further on pages 6-9 of A Citizen's Guide to Development Review) applies to virtually all major projects in Boston. In most locations, Large Project Review
applies to projects that add at least 50,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area. In Large Project Review, the BRA, guided by comments from the public,
examines a project's impacts on its immediate neighborhood and on the City as a whole.
Depending upon the project's
size, location and use, the review may address the project's impacts in a variety of areas, including traffic and
parking, environmental protection (wind, shadow, noise, etc.), the design character of the area, historic buildings,
and infrastructure systems (water, sewer, electricity, etc.). Depending upon the project's impacts, the BRA may
require the developer to change the project's design or to take other measures to reduce (or "mitigate") those
impacts.
What are the criteria for review?
An Article 80B submission is required in accordance with Article 80 of the Boston Zoning Code.
You can read more about these requirements in Article 80
and in A Citizen's Guide to Development Review.
