This article from the Boston Globe is simply astounding. Zoning in this section of Boston allows for 15 stories, the proposal calls for 50 to 70 stories, almost five times the height limit. The article notes an 18 to 24 month review, why? It would seem that since zoning does not allow it, the project should be a non-starter.
While I know the City of Boston has its own zoning rules, the question clearly arises, why would a person buy a property with a zoning limit 1/5th of what he desires, unless he knew he could get around the limits? Just one of he strange things we all have to ponder.
