Results Way Mixed Use Overlay District Amendment

At a glance

Based on auto-generated captions; names and numbers may be misheard.

What: order 26-109683, a zoning amendment (chapter 650, section 33) raising the residential cap in subdistrict two of the Results Way Mixed Use Overlay District from 100 to 400 units, for the The Campus at Marlborough site.
Where it stands: Urban Affairs recommended the amendment 4-0 on 2026-05-27, as a by-right increase with an affordable-housing condition (no special permit). The council passed it on 2026-06-08, 10-0 on every reading and in one evening, after the solicitor's letter showed it in proper form.
Next: (original plan: report-out June 8 or referral to the solicitor for June 22; done June 8.) The 90-day clock expires July 6. Later steps are a master concept plan and development agreement (each needs a two-thirds council vote) and site plan approval per phase.

Owner: Greyland (representatives apparently Terry McKecrin and Kevin Sheen; spellings uncertain).
Next phase sketch: about 300 garden-style apartments, about 100 townhouses (split flexible), then a commercial building. Structured parking only in the last phase.
Parking: about 3,200 total versus about 1,700 now, so about 1,500 net new.
The State Crime Lab, built on the campus under the underlying zoning, is already under construction.

Favorable 5-0 on May 4, 2026.
Prefers townhouses and retail or amenities in early phases, public trails connected to existing networks, and preserving mature trees and the buffer.
Could not tell whether there is a market need for more garden apartments.

The chair (apparently Councilor Robey) wanted 100 by right plus 300 by special permit for more council leverage and mitigation.
Michael Ossing and Councilor Navin questioned the value of a special permit on top of the two-thirds master plan and development agreement votes. The applicant preferred negotiating mitigation up front.
Councilor Ducette preferred owner-occupied, more affordable housing over rental apartments.
Special permit dropped. Age-restricted wording struck because those units do not count toward affordable housing.

Up to 400 dwelling units in subdistrict two.
Multi-family dwellings there are subject to section 650-26 (affordable housing, about 12%), made a condition of any site plan approval.

About 41 minutes across 2 meetings (from transcript timestamps; approximate).
