Two BZA applications withdrawn without prejudice after applicants cite ordinance changes or elect to withdraw
Summary
Applicants withdrew the Kennard Street PCA application and a Mass. Ave. condominium variance without prejudice; the Kennard withdrawal cited changes to the zoning ordinance, and the Mass. Ave. withdrawal followed confirmation that proposed work could proceed as‑of‑right after ordinance revisions.
At the Feb. 27 meeting the Cambridge Board of Zoning Appeals recorded two withdrawals without prejudice.
An application for 102 Kennard Street (case filed as 1148175) was withdrawn at the petitioner’s request; the applicant’s architect (Kelly Boushey) submitted a letter stating that changes to the Cambridge zoning ordinance made the pending PCA application unnecessary and the petitioner requested withdrawal without prejudice.
Separately, petitioners for work at 1105 Mass. Ave., Unit 1C, told the board that recent ordinance revisions removed the need for the previously requested variance. Staff confirmed the proposed revisions made the work a right under the updated zoning rules, and the board voted to withdraw the case without prejudice. Both withdrawals were recorded by unanimous vote.
The board’s withdrawal votes free the applicants to pursue permitting under the revised ordinance; petitioners were advised to coordinate with the Inspectional Services Department.
