GP3 Realty Trust updates ZBA on Hart Street Quad EB project; board reiterates 40B constraints
Summary
GP3 Realty Trust briefed the board on the Hart Street (Quad EB) development; the applicant reported utilities in place and phased construction, while board members reminded the applicant the project remains subject to 40B rules and urged them to consult city staff and the city solicitor before changing the project's scope.
Representatives from GP3 Realty Trust updated the Taunton Zoning Board of Appeals on the Quad EB (Hart Street) development. The applicant reported that utilities are in place and that they plan to build in phases. Company representatives said they plan to proceed under the existing approvals.
Board members warned that the project remains a 40B development and that shifting to conventional development would require re-filing and could trigger additional legal review; the chair urged the applicants to meet with city staff (including Kevin Scanlon and Denise) and, if necessary, consult the city solicitor before changing course. No formal vote or permit action was taken; the board offered to meet with staff and applicant for technical guidance without creating a quorum.
"So bring it back up to speed and let you know," a board member said, offering staff-level assistance. The board noted that any change to the approved 40B terms would require formal filings and likely additional approvals.
The item closed as an informational update with no action taken.
