Map Amendment Application No. 719

Planned Development Area No. 123

Dock Square, 20 Clinton Street, Boston

Map 1H, Government Center/Markets District

Said map amendment would amend “Map 1H, Government Center/Markets District,” by adding the designation “D,” indicating a Planned Development Area (“PDA”) overlay district to approximately 51,027 square feet (approximately 1.17 acres) of land located at 20 Clinton Street.  Said Development Plan would reduce public parking from seven (7) levels for 698 vehicles to five (5) levels for approximately 450 vehicles, and add back six (6) stories of new residential space and creating residential space to the lower floors by a combination of horizontal expansion and conversion of parking area, for a total of up to 209 multi-family residential units, within approximately 243,500 square feet of gross floor area.  To accommodate a new ground floor residential lobby, the existing retail/restaurant/services space, the ground floor will be reduced in size, and, to better activate the streetscape, an entirely new retail/restaurant/services space will be added at the ground level, facing John F. Fitzgerald Surface Road, for a total of approximately 11,500 square feet of gross floor area.
