<p>
	The <a href="https://www.bostonplans.org/planning-zoning/zoning-commission">Boston Zoning Commission</a> typically meets on the first Wednesday (and third, when applicable) of each month to rule on proposed amendments to the Boston Zoning Code. The Commission also votes on Institutional Master Plans and Planned Development Areas in accordance with Article 80. Anyone may petition the Zoning Commission to adopt a zoning change. Following community engagement, Planning Department staff bring zoning change recommendations to the BPDA Board of Directors for approval and then petition the Zoning Commission. Once the Zoning Commission adopts a zoning amendment, it is sent to the Mayor for approval and then is codified in the Zoning Code.</p>
<p>
	Zoning Commission hearings are 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 <a href="mailto:ZoningCommission@boston.gov">ZoningCommission@boston.gov</a> or by post to 1 City Hall Square, 9th Floor, Boston, MA 02201</p>
