ZONING-RELATED MEETING ARCHIVE ON ARFRR.ORG WEBSITE
COVID-19 safety protocols have suspended in-person Town meetings, and ACMi coverage, in favor of Zoom meetings. As a service to residents, we are recording certain "Zoom" and other online meetings having to do with zoning issues, and making them available on the ARFRR website.
Visit this page to catch up on recent meetings: https://sites.google.com/view/arfrr/calendar-contacts
Recent meeting agendas include:
- the current status of "Hotel Lexington", planned for 1207-1211 Massachusetts Avenue, and
- the proposed demolition of the 882-892 Mass Ave block, home to Toraya and Thana Thai restaurants, and ACMI studios, to build a 22 unit residential structure with one small commercial space.

HOW YOU CAN ATTEND TOWN ZOOM MEETINGS
To participate in a Town Zoom meeting by computer, tablet or phone, first make sure you've downloaded Zoom from www.zoom.us
Prior to the Zoom meeting, the Town will publish a web link URL for each meeting for you to click on. You’ll also see a telephone number, which will allow you to dial in and participate as an audio-only conference caller. This information can be found on the home page of the Town website, by clicking on the meeting name displayed there.
Here are further instructions and videos from Zoom
Once inside the Zoom app, you may have to allow Zoom to access your microphone and camera. You may have to click/touch the Zoom screen to unmute your microphone and start your video camera if you wish to make a comment or be seen during the meeting.
HOW YOU CAN REQUEST RECORDING FUNCTIONALITY AT THE START OF A MEETING
To make a recording of the zoom meeting, you must alert the meeting Chairperson of your wish to do so (there is a "raise hand' icon on the Zoom screen or in the menu of options) or you may unmute your microphone before the meeting begins and ask for recording privileges. After the chair has acknowledged you, he/she will enable an icon on your Zoom screen, often in a lower corner, which you must press to begin recording.
