Dear Council Members,
AP Davis Square Plaza, LP is the owner of the above listed properties more commonly referred to as Davis Square
Plaza. We formally request to file a Zoning Map Amendment to convert these properties from the existing MR-4
designation to a combination of Civic and CC-4 zoning designations as further defined below and shown in the
attached exhibits.
AP Davis Square Plaza, LP is proposing to amend the Somerville Zoning Atlas for a portion of 260 Elm Street to the
Civic zoning district to preserve and improve the existing Through Block Plaza. The remaining lots are proposed to
be amended to the CC-4 zoning district which aligns with the designation of several neighboring properties in Davis
Square. This change will allow for a moderately larger floor plate and increased total building height (though,
notably, maintaining the 4-story maximum of the current MR-4 designation) to facilitate development of additional
commercial floor space, including active ground floor retail and class-A office, in line with the goals of SomerVision
and the pending Davis Square Neighborhood Plan.
We appreciate your assistance in this matter and look forward to the opportunity to discuss the Zoning Map
Amendment and densification plans in further detail.
Best regards,
Sam Judd
Managing Partner
AP Davis Square Plaza, LP
