Huntington Avenue/Prudential Center District-St. Botolph Street Protection Area
The purpose of this article is to establish the zoning regulations for the comprehensive plan for the Huntington Avenue/Prudential Center District as required by the provisions of the Downtown Interim Planning Overlay District, Article 27D of this code. The goals and objectives of this article and the Huntington Avenue/Prudential Center District Plan are: to preserve the historic and architectural character of the historic residential neighborhoods included in the district; to realize the potential of Huntington Avenue as an important city boulevard and as a transitional boundary between the large-scale Prudential Center and the historic St. Botolph Street and South End neighborhoods; to encourage the private redevelopment of the Prudential Center; to integrate more effectively the Prudential Center with adjacent districts; to promote development that emphasizes a sense of human scale through appropriate block and building sizes and shapes, modulated and detailed fa????ades and storefronts, and articulated entryways; to increase pedestrian activity along the streets surrounding the Prudential Center by promoting streetscape improvements, requiring active ground-level uses, and permitting the creation of a mixed-use economy, including office, retail, commercial, and residential uses; and to promote the public welfare of the people of Boston.
