Urban Agriculture Overlay District Hearing Nov. 16

On Wednesday, November 16th, there will be a meeting at 9:00 a.m. in Boston City Hall, on the 9th floor of the Boston Redevelopment Authority Board Room. This public hearing before the Boston Zoning Commission is to consider a proposed text amendment to establish an Urban Agriculture Overlay District (UAOD) in Dorchester and a proposed map amendment to apply the UAOD to two city-owned properties. The proposed Overlay District would essentially allow the cultivation of fruits and vegetables and composting of materials produced on site. Under this proposal, the Urban Agriculture Overlay District would be applied to two Dorchester properties, 23-29 Tucker Street and 131 Glenway Street. More information is included on the attached document.
