Project Review and Discussion
- BZA Telecommunication Facility (Antenna) Special Permit Application – 1430 Massachusetts Avenue
The Applicant is proposing to modify its facility currently located on the facade of the penthouse on the existing building by replacing the existing five (5) panel antennas and one (1) dish antennas with eight (8) new panel antennas, as well as replacing six (6) existing RRUs with six (6) new like kind RRHs, and replace ancillary radio equipment and cabinets. All of the antennas associated with the Facility will be located in the same locations as the existing antennas, and all antennas will be painted to match the color of the facade of the penthouse of the building. BZA Special Permits within the Harvard Square Overlay District require review by HSAC.
