Weston Planning Officials Urge 3A Compliance Vote Ahead of October 15 Town Meeting

WESTON -- October 8, 2025, Weston planning officials urged residents to approve a four-district MBTA 3A zoning plan at the October 15 town meeting, warning that a $278,000 state literacy grant is already on hold and that daily court fines could begin accruing after a January 1 deadline. Presenters identified as Leslie and Yimai walked an online community session through a framework centered on the Boston Properties site near Kendall Green station, where roughly 380 near-term units, townhouses, apartments, and eventual senior housing, are expected across three sub-zones. The state has reviewed the compliance model and returned only three minor technical comments, all described as "easy fixes" that do not increase total unit counts. Audience questions focused heavily on school enrollment impacts; presenters cited a consultant projection of 350 to 400 units in development range and current school capacity to absorb approximately 350 additional students, and noted that a town assessor estimated the new housing could generate roughly $6 million in annual tax revenue.
