Boston is cutting restaurant permit waits from 4 months to less than 2 weeks — here's how
Mayor Michelle Wu said new zoning rules could cut wait times from months to weeks. Boston is planning to make it easier for new restaurants to open in the city by introducing new rules that aim to reduce the time it takes for a new owner to take over an existing business from four months to less than two weeks. The changes will be proposed in a bid to eliminate unnecessary reviews and red tape that delay many businesses from opening their doors. Currently, takeout service is treated as a separate use from sit-down restaurants, which can lead to lengthy zoning review for new owners taking over a restaurant that can take months. The proposed change would update the definition of a restaurant to eliminate this additional review. The Planning Department is also planning to update zoning in commercial centers throughout Boston to allow restaurants by right in more locations where they already exist. The city is also updating its public guides on how to open a restaurant and start or grow a business to provide more clear instructions for local entrepreneurs.
