The City Plan Commission approved a text amendment to the Fusco Corp.’s planned development district that will allow up to 500 apartments at 501-585 Long Wharf Drive. The commission also approved a required Coastal Management Site Plan. In a separate vote for an unrelated project, a total of 186 more apartments have been approved for development by the Epimoni Corp. at 20 and 34 Fair St. For City Engineer Giovanni Zinn, the Long Wharf approval makes concrete some of the recommendations in the Long Wharf Growth Plan that seeks to make this area more resilient to protect the important industries there and welcome a residential component. Thompson told the alders that if the development were to receive any state or federal funding, “the residential component of the proposed buildings will need to be elevated to the 500-year Flood level plus two feet of freeboard,” according to state law.”
