Anyone may petition the Zoning Commission to adopt a zoning change. Typically, the Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA) petitions the Zoning Commission to adopt zoning changes after a public dialogue and approval from the BPDA board.

The building fronting on Boylston Street will include 531,000 sf of office and R&D space, loading and other building service uses, and approximately 17,000 sf of engaging ground floor retail and/or restaurant space. An approximately 5,000 sf civic building is proposed, which will be programmed in response to community needs and could serve as a Boston Public Library neighborhood branch.
