Zoning, Licensing & Construction (ZLC)
Chair, Victor Brogna, zlc@newra.org
The ZLC Committee holds monthly meetings and everyone is welcome! Check the Calendar for specific meeting dates. The ZLC acts to preserve, protect and enhance the residential character of the neighborhood by reviewing all proposed construction, renovation and use changes which are not "as of right" for compliance with city codes and in harmony with existing neighborhood uses and features.
The ZLC keeps informed on all applications pending before state and local agencies and appears at meetings either in person or by letter to report the positions taken by NEWRA's members. The committee maintains relationships with the Boston Redevelopment Authority, the Zoning Board of Appeals, the Licensing Board, the Mayor's Office of Consumer Affairs and Licensing, and other public agencies.
