  • What: scrivener's error decision for ZB-2026-053 at 714-716 Pleasant Street, a multi-family low-rise project in an RL-7 zone that came to the board as an eight-unit building.
  • Where it stands: on 2026-07-20 the board voted 5-0 that the written decision contained two scrivener's errors.
  • Next: a corrective decision is signed by DocuSign and filed with the city clerk alongside the original decision.

The errors

  • Lot area: the decision should have granted relief of 5,500 sq ft from a 19,000 sq ft minimum for a multi-family low-rise dwelling in RL-7. It read 5,000 sq ft from 18,000 sq ft (staff said the board read it correctly at the meeting and staff mistranscribed it).
  • Parking: the applicant agreed during the hearing to reduce the building to seven units, which cut two required parking spaces, but the findings still said relief of three spaces. The correct figure is one space.
