Board approves 211 C Street residential project after neighborhood engagement and design changes
Summary
The board approved site-plan review and a parking waiver for the revised 211 C Street proposal after applicants reduced unit count (24 to 18), maintained parking above the district minimum, lowered building height to three stories, and addressed neighbor comments.
The Quincy Planning Board voted June 25 to approve site plan review and a parking-waiver special permit for the revised 211 C Street proposal (case 2025-10). The applicant reduced the building from four stories and 24 units to three stories and 18 units, maintained compliance with the Residence B district parking ratio and eliminated several balconies to increase resident privacy.
Attorney Edward Fleming, representing the applicant, said the team engaged in multiple neighborhood meetings with Councilor McCarthy and made adjustments to the plan including reduced height, elimination of some balconies to improve privacy, and traffic access changes tied to C Street reconstruction. The project team said existing reconstruction of C Street improves access and allowed the applicant to make the site entrance right-in only and route traffic to an existing signalized intersection to reduce potential conflicts.
The department recommended approval under Title 17 site plan review and a special permit parking waiver, conditioned on standard requirements: inclusionary zoning application to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund Committee, sidewalk reconstruction, ADA/AAB-compliant ramps, construction management plan, DPW drain permits, water flow tests, sewer TV inspections and comprehensive stormwater O&M recording, asbestos surveys, rodent and dust control plans, tree ordinance compliance and as-built submissions.
After public comment and department presentation, the board voted to accept the department’s recommendation. The hearing will be closed and the applicant will advance to the building-permit stage once preconstruction conditions are satisfied.
