Marlborough City Council approves raising cap for Green District housing By Maureen Sullivan Assistant Editor MARLBOROUGH – The Burrow is getting ready for more neighbors. An amendment to the city’s zoning ordinance, approved by the City Council on Monday, June 26, will allow Marlborough Apartment Partners LLC, the land owner, to build more units adjacent to the Post Road Residential development off Simarano Drive. The parcels are within the city’s Executive Residential Overlay District. Under the approval, the cap on the number of units will increase from 475 to 950. On June 14, the City Council’s Urban Affairs Committee heard from Andy Montelli of the developer, Post Road Residential, and attorney Arthur Bergeron.
