DEDHAM, MA-JPI has gone before the Zoning Board of Appeals here to push for its plan to develop a 300-unit complex here on Rustcraft Road. The Dallas, Texas-based developer plans to include an affordable-housing component in the project.

According to JPI’s attorney, Peter Zahka, the company has filed for a Comprehensive permit for the project, a move that he tells GlobeSt.com, must be dome here with any residential project. “Dedham’s zoning bylaw does not address housing complexes so you need 40B,” he says. A comprehensive project allows a developer to bypass local zoning laws if the project has a 25% affordable-housing component and the town has not reached its 10% affordable-housing requirement, which Dedham has not.

But JPI still has to conform to some of the town’s bylaws, says Amy Cusack, of the town’s planning department. She tells GlobeSt.com that local residents in the town are very concerned about the project’s potential impact on the local school system and traffic in that area.
