Somerville Infill and Small Developments

RandomWalk said:
Playing around with the calculator on the Somerville Zoning website, it looks like 3 units requires 1 affordable in NR zones. 2 units would drop to zero affordable.

The builders of 4 Princeton St subdivided into two lots so that each duplex was two luxury units. The building reads as a single 4 unit building from the street.

Looks like they never updated the calculator. Amendment 2023-23 removed affordable units in this zone: https://online.encodeplus.com/regs/somerville-ma/doc-viewer.aspx?secid=8#secid-920

Im guessing the Princeton Street project that you referenced was permitted before the amendment.

314-322 Somerville Ave (mixed use, site of the burned-out Fiesta building)

316 just collapsed today. Obviously nothing came of this particular redevelopment project, and the building has basically been sitting derelict for a decade. The owner also owns, or at least used to own, the Eberle building at 33 Union Square, so they aren't a COMPLETE slumlord.

I wonder why they never went forwards with the redevelopment. Would have been a nice little building.
 
More units, for sure, but get rid of that siding and do a full restoration and that would be a quite nice late-Victorian.
