A public hearing regarding the application in downtown Framingham will be held at the Memorial Building on Thursday.
FRAMINGHAM - A public hearing regarding the application for a downtown multi-use apartment building will be held during the Framingham Planning Board’s meeting on Thursday, April 18 at 7 p.m.
Planners with One Howard, LLC, a part of the Boston-based City Realty Group, provided details on their pitch during a Planning Board meeting in March, as they are looking to develop a six-floor site with over 130 units and a stacked parking garage. The plot they are proposing to build on is currently a parking lot along Howard Street, next to the Armenian Church of the Holy Translators.
The One Howard team has requested multiple municipal permits, including for multi-family housing, land disturbance, and parking reductions.
Members of the Planning Board highlighted a number of concerns during last month’s meeting. Officials have stressed their desire to have proper waterproofing features in place—considering that the site is adjacent to Farm Pond—as well as to make the site’s units accessible to all members of the area’s demographic.
Leading up to Thursday’s public hearing, One Howard team members told the Planning Board that they would provide additional data regarding stormwater management at the site.
The agenda for Thursday’s Planning Board meeting can be found here. Residents can take part in the meeting in person at the Memorial Building or via Zoom.
