The ZLC will hold a meeting about two items, 391-395 Hanover Street and 25 Atlantic Avenue, on Tuesday, December 15, 2020 at 7:00 pm, via Zoom.

Meeting Agenda


391-395 Hanover St. (former Green Cross Pharmacy)
Nando 393 Hanover, Inc has applied to the Boston Licensing Board to approve the purchase and transfer of the 7-day all alcohol beverages license held by Zuma's Tex Mex Grill at Faneuil Hall Marketplace. The restaurant, Nando's Trattoria, will have approx. 42 seats (36 at tables; six at a bar) and the license calls for a 2:00 am closing. The applicant has proposed closing hours of 1 am Friday and Saturday and midnight Sunday-Thursday. Contact attorneys William Ferullo and Ryan Gazda, 617-946-4000, [email protected] and [email protected].

25 Atlantic Ave.
J3 Design & Development proposes to construct a five-story, six-unit residential building. All units are three bedrooms and two duplex and four single-floor units are planned. The first floor is for parking and there is a common roof deck for all tenants. The property is in a multi-family residential subdistrict. Zoning violations arise under Article 32 of the Boston Zoning Code, Section 4 (Groundwater Conservation Overlay District Applicability) and Article 54, Section 18 (roof structure restrictions). With respect to the latter, the ISD refusal letter notes the height of the proposed new construction exceeds the prior height of an existing building, and Section 18 specifics the height of a building existing as of June 24, 1985. The refusal letter also notes that projections located above the public sidewalk will require approval from the Dept. of Public Works. Contact Jessica Simons 857-408-8143; attorney William Ferullo, 617-946-4000, [email protected].

The hotel will also integrate an open-air passageway to and from Cutillo Park and will have restaurant space looking onto the park on the back side with the goal of deterring and removing the nefarious park activity that currently exists. Bill Caulder, developer, will present.
