	The&nbsp;<a href="http://www.bostonplans.org/zoning/zoning-commission">Boston Zoning Commission</a>&nbsp;typically meets on the second Wednesday of each month to rule on proposed amendments to the&nbsp;<a href="https://library.municode.com/ma/boston/codes/redevelopment_authority" target="_blank">Boston Zoning Code</a>. Anyone may petition the Zoning Commission to adopt a zoning change. Typically, the Boston Planning &amp; Development Agency (BPDA) petitions the Zoning Commission to adopt zoning changes after a public dialogue and approval from the BPDA board.</p>
<p>
	Zoning Commission hearings are currently being conducted virtually through Zoom. The public can participate in hearings by registering for and attending Zoom meetings and verbally offering public comment. The public can also send written comments by email to&nbsp;<a href="mailto:ZoningCommission@boston.gov">ZoningCommission@boston.gov</a>&nbsp;or by post to 1 City Hall Square, 9th Floor, Boston, MA 02201</p>

Said Master Plan would allow for the development of new buildings with significant open space and public realm components as a vibrant mixed-use extension of the neighborhood including ground floor retail, civic and cultural uses, residential units with associated amenities, commercial development including office, lab, and R&amp;D areas with associated mechanical, accessory and ancillary support spaces. The development will include new public and private streets, sidewalks, bike paths, and accessible public realm spaces and will also include café areas, open spaces, civic and public service spaces, and recreation areas for public use and enjoyment, distributed throughout the Master Plan area.</div>
