The Watertown Department of Community Development and Planning sent out notice of the postponement of the proposed amendment to allow additional height in the Regional Mixed Use District. The amendment was submitted by Boylston Properties, the developer of Arsenal Yards.
The following is the announcement from the Town:
The RMUD Zoning Amendment for height will not be heard at the Planning Board meeting on August 8. The petitioner has requested that the request be continued until September 12, 2018 Planning Board Hearing. Please spread the word that the request will not be discussed at the August meeting.

Opinions Split Over Taller Tower Request by Developers of Arsenal Yards
Sounds to me like Boylston Properties is feeling some heat, and it makes me wonder what they have up their sleeves this time. Cooking up some compromise perhaps? Whatever it is the town needs to stick to the plan and not compromise on the 130′ height. If boylston
properties is unhappy with that, they’re more than welcome to pack their bags and go home.
