Nobscot housing plan shrinks again amid rezoning

A controversial housing proposal in Framingham's Nobscot neighborhood is continuing to shrink as city officials move closer to putting a rezoning request before the full City Council. The proposal from Waltham-based J & Co. calls for a residential development on around 30 acres near Edmands and Edgell roads on the north side of Framingham. The developer is seeking a zoning change that would allow higher density residential development on the property. An earlier version presented in February called for 416 units, including townhomes and multifamily buildings, but councilors said during a Nov. 9 Planning and Zoning Subcommittee meeting that the project's size has since been reduced to between 325 and 350 units with the final number still being discussed. When the property was considered for inclusion in the city's MBTA Communities zoning district in 2024, proposals contemplated the potential for more than 1,000 units. The parcel was ultimately excluded from the city's final MBTA zoning map. Since then, the scale of the development has continued to shrink amid opposition from residents. Councilors would like proposal to go before full council During the meeting, District 6 Councilor Phil Ottaviani said that he would like to see this proposal go before the
