Enclosed are proposed revisions to the PUD-8 District zoning petition currently under review by the City Council. The proposed revisions are intended to refine the design and material parameters contained in Section 13.107.5 in response to our meeting with Councillor Carlone. The enclosed text also incorporates the transportation-related special permit criteria in Section 13.102.4(i) that was drafted by the Community Development Department and transmitted by the City Manager to the City Council at the December 9th meeting (CMA 2019#324). We believe the revisions we have incorporated will help clarify the design and transportation provisions in response to comments raised by individual Councillors. We have attached a clean, revised version of the zoning text, as well as a redline that shows changes made to the version that was accepted by the City Council at the November 26" meeting. We wanted to submit these revisions for transmission to the City Council in advance of the December 16, 2019 meeting in order to provide the Councillors sufficient time to review such revisions. Please let us know if you have any questions. Sincerely, John E. Twohig Representative for Cambridgeside Galleria Associates Trust Enclosures Cc: City Manager Louis A. DePasquale (via e-mail only) Deputy City Clerk Paula Crane (via e-mail only)
