Additional information
Urban development in Cambridge is regulated by the Zoning Ordinance, which controls the overall scale and use of buildings throughout the city. Cambridge’s zoning is a reflection of CDD’s ongoing planning work, which helps to guide future urban growth in the city. For more information about how zoning works, see the Cambridge Zoning Guide.
CDD administers the Cambridge Planning Board, which issues special permits for some development projects as required by zoning, and reviews and makes recommendations to the City Council on proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Board also engages in CDD’s general planning efforts to improve the physical environment of the city.
