The applicant’s representative described a plan to demolish the existing building and construct a new four‑story structure with a two‑story restaurant on the ground and second floors and one one‑bedroom apartment on each of the third and fourth floors. The applicant said the lot is approximately 1,159 square feet and therefore requires dimensional relief for setbacks, parking and floor‑area‑ratio (FAR) under current zoning.

Councilors asked about parking and access. The representative said the restaurant will not include on-site parking and that residents would likely use parking along Ocean Avenue, which is managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation. The project will require a connection permit from the Department of Public Works for sewer and water service and a stormwater-management plan reviewed and approved by the city engineer and DPW superintendent.

Site Plan Review Committee conditions also call for design and materials approval by the Revere Beach Design Review Board and the Site Plan Review Committee, and the proposed restaurant should include accommodations for outdoor café seating subject to DCR approval.

The roll-call vote to recommend approval subject to the listed conditions was unanimous. The subcommittee’s recommendation will be forwarded to the full City Council for a final decision and additional departmental review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Revere City Zoning Sub-Committee Meeting- 3/10/25","oneSentenceSummary","A proposal to demolish the existing Nick's Pizzeria building and replace it with a four‑story mixed‑use structure — restaurant on the lower floors and two one‑bedroom apartments above — received a favorable recommendation from the subcommittee, subject to multiple site-plan, DPW and design-review conditions.","taxTitle","Revere City, Suffolk County, Massachusetts","taxId",5660,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6289908,"Zoning subcommittee endorses special permit to convert 5-unit building into 6 units at 30 Campbell Ave.",399,1828000,2227000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2531839-301669005c412e4d869ee5fb7267f82c&start=1828&end=2227","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2531839-301669005c412e4d869ee5fb7267f82c/thumbnail_1828000.jpg","/articles/6289908/Revere-City/Suffolk-County/Massachusetts/Zoning-subcommittee-endorses-special-permit-to-convert-5-unit-building-into-6-units-at-30-Campbell-Ave","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6289908-f72fcbb6efa6c4ed6cea4840ef563f3f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771189433&Signature=kPjld0vxe5P8M2pfmLBPsW9T8fkSqdwZcJKtTnv1cXZ8GihmO57kafPHKnmFoHCL2pflTSA0uFiQruDx-Qqz3fBs6fM5QisUvRTsCaEa22K6CaR~Sxh24~k-5LWNnfqvVdc3YHpyGihhpefgrzRu3TMt5fXejF0J2AdwahacDo3RLxq9W91tMCTzOMerXPnq-UCohvjxdWqbxYOEG5jX~6q0BJ8D8tV4uNXNWV0fnl~l5imhmLMoGZGAofLiVVyquXm~C-tuM3YtqoiiHBtqAe6BU8GPw-8SOWGfjRVJ~uaqaccmM3vpXy00gf39CywqBpM2WCtRaNxXrS-VkGbXUg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Revere City Zoning Subcommittee unanimously recommended that the full City Council grant a special permit allowing the conversion of a five-unit building into a six-unit structure at 30 Campbell Avenue, with conditions requiring code upgrades and final fire-suppression plan approval.

Applicant Nick Dare said he purchased the distressed property in August 2024 and has completed several exterior repairs, asbestos abatement and siding and window replacements. Dare told the subcommittee the proposed sixth unit would be created within the third-floor unfinished space and would not change the building’s height or footprint; the new unit would be about 720 square feet.

Dare said he will add four parking spaces as part of the project and that the unit conversion will trigger mandatory code upgrades. “By doing this sixth unit, it will trigger code upgrades that I'll be happy and welcome,” Dare said, listing sprinkler systems, a central fire alarm and proper egress as examples.

Councilors said they had held a neighborhood meeting; three residents attended and expressed support. Ward Councilor McKenna told the subcommittee she would continue to monitor the property; Councilor Novosalski and others described the work as the type of rehabilitation they want to encourage in the neighborhood.

Site Plan Review Committee conditions read into the record require bringing the property into compliance with building, electrical, plumbing and fire codes for all units, and final fire plans must be reviewed and approved by the Fire Department and Site Plan Review Committee prior to issuance of any permits.

The roll-call vote was recorded as unanimous in favor; the favorable recommendation will be forwarded to the full City Council for final decision.","The subcommittee recommended approval for a special permit that will allow the conversion of a five-unit building into six units at 30 Campbell Avenue, contingent on code upgrades including sprinkler and fire-alarm systems and site-plan review conditions.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6289912,"Subcommittee recommends special permit for contractor storage yard at 12 Furlong Drive with conditions",725,1098000,1823000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2531839-301669005c412e4d869ee5fb7267f82c&start=1098&end=1823","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2531839-301669005c412e4d869ee5fb7267f82c/thumbnail_1098000.jpg","/articles/6289912/Revere-City/Suffolk-County/Massachusetts/Subcommittee-recommends-special-permit-for-contractor-storage-yard-at-12-Furlong-Drive-with-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6289912-d45b7babb32591e7fd4c00546a15d982/orig.mp4?Expires=1771189433&Signature=cuDZOyquU0A8n0yFmmHzF0WOXeJsUFuszEQSRh-DkzAqSfSdxhADRJFLnr42V7QzHXXpNO--mZkXXqw5CVKDt75padID~Zv36Lb8c1NvbN1ld3OkAssC46-UjWBG8TY~PGnzW5h7OKQI1GIpQWcKozAlqLA4vSZh2HmgU5eg~YPx5nkvVlQ15YzigkCBZCthZ5UAtN33XwsXeLWISTQi3POdmaYmEl9Te-kJDgNiBjJUoASXXs7Hzg~cynamw9iJTKEML5hrlwWVZok4EijtWgXY7wK377dSBhmEbsY3djirzYXMVBLYew6tn~hvhxZug~fn7K2NdmNRphE9nque0A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Revere City Zoning Subcommittee voted unanimously Monday to recommend that the full City Council grant a special permit allowing a contractor storage-yard use at 12 Furlong Drive, subject to multiple conditions aimed at protecting Green Creek and public health.

Attorney Niles Welch represented the applicant, Joshua Recycling, and told the subcommittee the site has been cleaned and decluttered since the council last reviewed the business on Jan. 27. “There has been extensive ... cleaning and refurbishing and decluttering of the location,” Welch said, and he reported that Ward Councilor McKenna visited the site and provided positive feedback.

Subcommittee members and an on-site inspector reported the property appeared significantly improved. “I worked the perimeter with everybody and found the site to be very, very, very clean,” Councilor Carroll said, noting open containers had been removed and the site was approximately 60 feet from the creek bank.

Site-plan review conditions read into the record require that no materials or equipment be stored within 25 feet of the bank of Green Creek on parcels noted in the record; no stockpiling of materials; no hazardous materials as determined by the Revere Fire Department and Board of Health; no unregistered or junk vehicles; a six-foot-high chain-link fence at least 25 feet from the creek bank; permeable material for parking and storage in the rear; an operation and maintenance plan filed with the Conservation Commission, Building Department, and Board of Health prior to issuance of any occupancy permit; final site-plan review and Fire Department approval; and cleanup and erosion-control measures complying with the Conservation Commission’s Order of Conditions.

Councilor Novosalski said he wanted an explicit limit preventing storage within the 60-foot area near the creek and expressed concern about future compliance; Councilor McKenna said she would inspect the property every three months. The applicant’s attorney said fencing and ingress points could be reviewed to reduce the risk of illegal dumping.

The roll-call vote recorded Councilor Argencio — yes; Councilor Greeno Sawaya — yes; Councilor Jaramillo — yes; Councilor Novosalski — yes; Chairman Zambuto — yes. The subcommittee’s favorable recommendation is conditional on the listed site-plan and conservation requirements and will be forwarded to the full City Council for final action.

No hazardous materials were reported to be stored on the site at the time of the hearing, and the applicant said material is brought to the site only temporarily in open-top containers before being delivered to appropriate disposal locations.","The zoning subcommittee forwarded a favorable recommendation for a special permit for Joshua Recycling’s contractor storage yard at 12 Furlong Drive, subject to conditions including a 25-foot setback from Green Creek, no stockpiling or hazardous material storage, fencing, permeable surfacing and site-plan approvals.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6289916,"Revere zoning subcommittee backs repeal of mechanical parking definition after safety and enforcement debate",359,761000,1120000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2531839-301669005c412e4d869ee5fb7267f82c&start=761&end=1120","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2531839-301669005c412e4d869ee5fb7267f82c/thumbnail_761000.jpg","/articles/6289916/Revere-City/Suffolk-County/Massachusetts/Revere-zoning-subcommittee-backs-repeal-of-mechanical-parking-definition-after-safety-and-enforcement-debate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6289916-b4c5bd15fb316a1565ca9d4a0845c37a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771189433&Signature=aC3rRZZTeQmmLe3YSzMsKM-dbVR98V6LJNxymVwIxzc1IMZ2QhsU0xcy5k-YvmhY4b~I6iVeVMHiWXp9eDwH1-6bAG5GAvAxmnX4JA0VIbArpkmnRYusYJlwJXZUjh5nIsG4AwLf3s3241rw0oGxBw~JEITtobnHMvDDQjb6YpXbRsRMW~9C55S16H-2PnLH5eQxXSpMpaQKgJfCiAn9DcBuy9DWa3jcETVqNzkQsn0zsQhM5V60Ks1oEpxtNw8tujVitCYdEWfFaiMmx5rT~Ix~iVJ8m255Wp4r4U8hkUV~YSCTBGda~iC9a~fz8NNXtqX9g9Vll9G4g~PmrhXuWw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Revere City Zoning Subcommittee voted 4-1 Monday to recommend that the full City Council repeal the zoning definition and permitted use for mechanical parking systems, after members and public commenters said the current rule has been exploited by developers and poses tenant-safety risks.

The motion, to offer a favorable recommendation to the City Council to approve an ordinance repealing the definition and use of mechanical parking systems in the city’s zoning code, advanced after about 25 minutes of discussion and public comment. The subcommittee forwarded the repeal despite one member’s objection.

The repeal’s supporters said developers were using the mechanical-parking rule as a loophole to secure approvals and then obtain waivers from the Zoning Board of Appeals to avoid installing the stacker systems that were promised in project plans. “The developers are exploiting the ordinance to get their approvals and then dodge having to install the stackers by way of waivers from the ZBA,” Councilor Kelly said, arguing the policy “is being used as a loophole.”

Kelly also questioned claims that a previously installed stacker would lose property value if classified as nonconforming, saying such assertions require appraisal evidence. “Property values are not solely dictated by conformance to current zoning,” Kelly said, noting other market factors affect value and that nonconforming properties can retain high market value.

At least one member of the public warned of safety risks when rack-and-stack systems are operated by untrained tenants. Marsha Ragusa, of 29 Remedy Road, told the subcommittee she had researched incidents nationally and said tenant-operated systems can be “highly dangerous.” Ragusa cited reported accidents in other jurisdictions as part of her argument for repeal.

The vote to recommend repeal was recorded as: Councilor Regenzio — yes; Councilor Greeno Sawaya — yes; Councilor Jaramillo — yes; Councilor Novosalski — yes; Chairman Zambuto — no. The subcommittee’s recommendation will be forwarded to the full City Council for final action.

The subcommittee noted that the city’s Planning Board had issued a favorable recommendation for repeal, which some members said could influence colleagues on the full council. No appraisals or technical reports on property-value impacts were presented during the meeting. The transcript shows discussion and public comment but no additional technical studies were cited or submitted at the hearing.

If the full council adopts the repeal, the status of existing mechanical parking installations will depend on zoning transition rules and any follow-up guidance from city staff; that topic was discussed but no formal direction to staff or implementation timeline was adopted at the subcommittee meeting.","The Revere City Zoning Subcommittee voted 4-1 to recommend that the full City Council repeal the local zoning definition and use permit for mechanical parking systems after members and public speakers raised enforcement and safety concerns.","actionData","errors"]
