Riviera City Council approves special permit for mixed-use development at 64 Revere Beach Boulevard

Revere's Zoning Sub-Committee has taken significant steps toward revitalizing local infrastructure and enhancing community amenities during its recent meeting on March 10, 2025. The committee approved a special permit for a new mixed-use development at 64 Revere Beach Boulevard, which will replace the existing Nick's Pizza building with a modern four-story structure.

The proposed development will feature a two-story restaurant on the ground and second floors, along with two one-bedroom residential units on the third and fourth floors. This project aims to address the current zoning challenges, as the lot is smaller than the required 25,000 square feet, measuring only 11,059 square feet. The developer, Edvin Bala, sought relief from setback and parking requirements, which the committee granted under specific conditions.

Key conditions for the project include compliance with building, electrical, plumbing, and fire codes, as well as obtaining necessary permits from the Department of Public Works for sewer and water connections. The design and materials for the building must also receive approval from the Revere Beach Design Review Board.

The committee's favorable recommendation reflects a commitment to enhancing local dining options and residential opportunities while navigating the complexities of zoning regulations. The inclusion of outdoor café seating for the restaurant is expected to further enrich the community's beachfront experience.

As the project moves forward, it will contribute to the ongoing development of Revere Beach, aligning with the city's goals for sustainable growth and improved public spaces. The next steps involve detailed design reviews and compliance checks to ensure the project meets all regulatory standards.
