PLAN: East Boston Zoning – Land Use Many participants spoke of the need for neighborhood-supporting commercial/retail uses on the ground floor of residential buildings. Some specified needs such as a daycare, coffee shop, bodega, or pharmacy. In general, this type of ground-floor use was identified as most appropriate for corner parcels. Participants discussed the current limitations of the 1F, 2F, and 3F zoning categories, with some supporting higher-density or “missing middle” housing in neighborhood residential areas and others preferring to maintain the low-density neighborhood fabric. Bulleted text either paraphrases or directly quotes feedback received from participants. • 6-unit minimum • 1-3 units should be forbidden, 4 or more only • No more than 3 units • Preserve the residential scale • More residential and mixed-use • 1:2, Store-to-Resident ratio • First floor uses should include laundry, restaurant, bodega, green awning/fresh fruit and vegetables • More storefront shops on ground floor.
