PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
Zoning Board of Appeals
137 Hope Avenue
(AKA Lot #18)
(MBL 27-0001-00003)
Peter DiGioia: Linvest Properties, LLC applied to the Zoning Board seeking the following relief from the requirements of the Worcester Zoning Ordinance (ZB-2025-088):
Variance: For relief from the minimum rear yard setback requirement for an other permitted use (three-family dwelling) in an RS-7 zoning district (Article IV, Section 4, Table 4.2)
Presently on the premises is a three-family dwelling. The property is in the RS-7 (Residence, Single Family) zoning district. The applicant seeks to divide the property and construct a single-family detached dwelling on the newly created lot. The proposed division of land creates a new nonconforming rear-yard setback for the existing three-family dwelling.
