The Quincy Planning Board convened on September 17, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including the approval of previous meeting minutes and a continued public hearing regarding a significant development project.

The meeting began with standard procedural announcements, reminding attendees of their rights to record the proceedings and the importance of maintaining decorum. Following roll call, the board approved the minutes from the August 6, 2025, meeting unanimously.

A major focus of the meeting was a request from attorney Mahoney, representing 1630 Hancock LLC, to continue the public hearing for their certificate of consistency application. The board agreed to postpone this case until the next meeting scheduled for October 15, 2025, citing ongoing issues with peer review and planning department discussions.

Additionally, the board reviewed a new application from MCRT Investments, LLC, for a site plan review and special permit concerning a proposed development at 16 Old Colony Avenue. The project involves demolishing an existing one-story storefront to construct an eight-story multifamily residential building with 321 units and three levels of structured parking for 322 vehicles. This proposal is part of the board's ongoing efforts to address housing needs in Quincy.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to further evaluate these projects in upcoming sessions, highlighting the board's active role in shaping the city's development landscape.
