Boston’s Zoning Commission will host a virtual public hearing on Feb. 14 at 9:15 a.m. about amendments filed by the BPDA to add one new Open Space subdistrict to Article 33.

This meeting will only be held virtually and not in person. You can participate in this meeting by going to bit.ly/BZC_Feb142024.
