AP Davis Square Plaza, LP CHARLOTTE: [phone removed] WEB: asanapartners.com December 17, 2020 City of Somerville Somerville City Council 93 Highland Ave. Somerville, MA 02143 RE: Zoning Map Amendment: 258-282 Elm St. (Parcels 1-5, Deed Book 12624, Page 463) 58 Day St. (Parcel 1, Deed Book 12624, Page 461) 7-13 Herbert St. (Parcel 6-7, Deed Book 1320, Page 547) 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
