Commission backs positive recommendation to restore 309 Station Street as two-family
Summary
The commission voted to recommend that the Zoning Board approve converting 309 Station Street back to a legal two-family dwelling; staff said no structural changes were proposed and the use is consistent with the surrounding neighborhood.
Planning staff recommended—and the commission agreed—to forward a positive recommendation to the Zoning Board for 309 Station Street, permitting restoration of a historic two-family use. Staff noted the property historically functioned as a two-family and that the conversion restores prior use without major structural changes.
Commissioners asked whether the use variance would run with the land; the solicitor clarified that such relief runs with the land. Director Carrero explained that approving the two-family use would allow administrative approval of subsequent structure changes consistent with that designation. The commission's referral is advisory; the Zoning Board will make the final determination.
