LAST AMENDED
12/5/2024


For #zoning lots# within the boundaries shown in Appendix I with #buildings# containing #qualifying affordable housing# in
receipt of a certificate of occupancy prior to March 22, 2016, the Board of Standards and Appeals may permit a waiver of, or a
reduction in, the number of #accessory# off-street parking spaces required for such #income-restricted housing units# prior to
March 22, 2016, provided that the Board finds that such waiver or reduction will:

(a)    facilitate an improved site plan;

(b)    facilitate the creation or preservation of affordable housing, where a #development# includes new #residential floor area#
       on the #zoning lot#;

(c)    not cause traffic congestion; and

(d)    not have undue adverse effects on residents, businesses or #community facilities# in the surrounding area, as applicable,
       including the availability of parking spaces for such #uses#.
Factors to be considered by the Board may include, without limitation, the use of the existing parking spaces by residents of the
#zoning lot#, the availability of parking in the surrounding area and the proximity of public transportation. The Board may
impose appropriate conditions and safeguards to minimize adverse effects on the character of the surrounding area.
