Plans for a 300-foot tower at the Fenway’s eastern tip are steaming toward approval despite near universal opposition from residents.

The 2 Charlesgate West proposal had another public meeting of its Impact Advisory Group (IAG) on July 1, possibly the last before the Boston Planning and Development Agency (BPDA) board approves or denies it.

Proponents have continued to make changes and increase mitigation funding but saw little improvement among abutters dismayed at the building’s height.

The project has made design adjustments since its last meeting in April, eliminating one spot where wind exceeded its 30mph goal and getting unanimous approval from the Boston Civic Design Commission on June 18.

Developers have added $400,000 in mitigation funding for the Boston Parks Department Back Bay Fens (BPD) trust fund, $50,000 to tree care in the area and $200,000 to the Fenway Community Development Corporation for affordable housing.

The total mitigation package now sits just under $3,200,000.

District 8 City Councilor Sharon Durkan spoke in support of the proposal in large part due to the desperately needed housing it would bring to the Fenway.

“This project accomplishes a delicate balance between our past and our future. Bostonians across our city, and those yearning to be Bostonians, find themselves increasingly facing incredible opportunities alongside an inhospitable housing market. This project would both deliver on our housing needs and bring a host of other benefits to the community,” she said.

Those elements, however, don’t seem to have been enough to sway public sentiment in favor of the project. Almost every resident and civic group that spoke at the meeting was critical of the proposal for how much it exceeds previous height limits and the shadows it would cast on the Back Bay Fens.

“I appreciate the patience and responsiveness of the project team, and I agree the design has advanced. But the negative impacts of this project can’t be so easily quantified. It’s too big, and mitigation just can’t offset the cost of casting aside the zoning that protects our parks,” said Marie Fukuda, an IAG member and co-chair of the parks and open space committee for the Fenway Civic Association.

“If the goal was to build a project despite our reasonable zoning and park protections, I guess you’ve accomplished that.”

Kennedy Avery, Councilor Durkan’s chief of staff, said lawmakers are working carefully to avoid setting a precedent in changing city guidelines to allow this project to move forward. Residents didn’t seem mollified.

“We’re working closely with the Boston Parks and Recreation Department (BPRD) to do this in a responsible way, amending restrictions on park frontages so that it explicitly exempts just a singular address in Charlesgate West. Anything filed will have gone through BPRD approval before filing it,” Avery said.

“The height exceeds all zoning, which people worked for decades on in this neighborhood. It seems like everything is for sale, all zoning is an exception. This project is obscene. You’re killing our sky, taking our sunlight,” said Fenway resident Kathleen McBride. “The Councilor can say they’re going to exempt just this particular location, but we hear that on every location, and it’s really getting old. This isn’t working.”

The project is tentatively scheduled to appear before the BPDA board for a vote on July 18, and if approved would move on to the Zoning Board of Appeals. That body has historically been sympathetic to projects seeking zoning relief, especially if they provide affordable housing.

Several residents expressed resignation and exhaustion with the development process again moving a massive project forward despite resistance from those who are going to have to live next to it.

“I’m kind of horrified by the size. But I’ve kind of given up on the city regulating size,” said abutter Lisa Hazen. “I bought my condo with every scrap of money that I own, and I’m going to lose a bit of my sunlight every day.”
