engagement meetings on the 100%-Affordable Housing Overlay
proposal
The Community Development Department (CDD) has organized a series of
open houses in locations around the city during June and July to discuss the
100%-Affordable Housing Overlay proposal with community members. The
first open house will be Saturday, June 15th at the Citywide Senior Center in
Central Square.
The attached schedule provides details for the full series of open houses, which
will be held in West Cambridge, East Cambridge, Riverside, and North
Cambridge. The flyer is being shared with neighborhood listservs and will also
be publicized through flyer distribution at locations throughout the city, CDD's
social media outlets and via email to people who have attended hearings on
the topic.
The open houses will be opportunities for residents to ask questions, get the
most current information on the proposed zoning, provide feedback and to
discuss the content directly with City staff. They will also allow staff an
opportunity to hear concerns and feedback, respond to questions, and engage
in dialogue with residents about the proposal and the City's overarching
housing goals. Refreshments and child care will be provided.
