ZBA grants rebuild and six‑unit conversion at 330–334 Chad Street after fire
Summary
The board granted relief to reconstruct a fire‑damaged building at 330–334 Chad Street, allowing conversion from street‑level commercial plus three residential units to a six‑unit residential building within the same footprint; the petitioner indicated plans to make half the units eligible for voucher/affordable housing.
The Zoning Board voted to grant relief allowing the reconstruction and conversion of a fire‑damaged property at 330–334 Chad Street into a six‑unit residential building within the existing footprint.
Architect Wald Limus described plans to bring the building back to its prior three‑story height, change the ground floor from commercial to residential, and retain nine of the existing ten parking spaces. He said the project aims to provide multiple rental units and indicated a willingness to target at least some units to voucher holders.
After board discussion of the site plan and the practical constraints created by an existing survey, members voted in favor of the rebuild and conversion. The board recorded the motion and the vote and closed the hearing with instructions to complete the usual permitting and engineering steps.
