Commission grants five‑year extension for mixed‑use project at 11 Pearl Street
Summary
The Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously approved a five‑year extension for a mixed‑use project at the former fire station at 11 Pearl Street, citing project delays tied to railroad station and area redevelopment timelines.
The commission voted unanimously June 10 to grant a five‑year extension to the mixed‑use approval for 11 Pearl Street (the former fire station), extending the approval from its expiration date of June 10, 2026 to June 10, 2031.
Staff summarized an email from the applicant, Patrick Tallerida, who said prospective taproom partners had delayed proceeding until progress on the nearby railroad station and related redevelopment were underway. "I would greatly appreciate the commission's understanding of the situation. Respectfully request an extension of this application to preserve the opportunity," the applicant wrote to staff, and staff confirmed the request and the application dates on the record.
Commissioners noted the project’s timeline depended on state‑led station work and that statutory practice allows the commission to grant a five‑year extension; the board moved, seconded and approved the extension by roll call, with each listed member recorded in favor. Staff noted the applicant may reapply or seek additional action in the future if needed.
The extension preserves the applicant's approval for mixed‑use residential and commercial redevelopment at the former fire station site; any changes beyond the approved scope or new applications would require further review.
