The 592 Washington Street project received approval for its special permit, but the project must meet four conditions focused on tree protection, landscaping, guest parking, and verification of open-space calculations. Its separate environmental and engineering review remains open because the Fire Department and other departments requested revisions or additional information. The Board also approved a parking reduction for the Worcester Street and Cedar Street project; 74 spaces will remain, compared with 68 required under the applicable bylaw.
