An innovative set of zoning reforms have two more approvals left to become law.

A pair of recently published articles updated one of the big planning reform stories of October, after the Boston City Council approved new Maximum Parking Ratios as part of new planning guidelines for large developments.
Tim Logan reports the news for the Boston Globe in a paywalled article that puts the planning reform in context of a recent development controversy in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood.
In another article on the subject, Christian MilNeil reports that the proposed reforms still require approval from the Board of the Boston Planning and Development Agency (BPDA) and the Boston Zoning Commission to take effect.
"The changes would complement recent rule changes to the city’s “Article 80” permitting process that will limit the amount of parking that developers would be allowed to build in large developments (over 50,000 square feet)," according to MilNeil.
For additional background on the proposed zoning changes, see a Planetizen article from October.
