New zoning rules took effect in Weymouth’s Jackson Square village center that allow taller buildings to accommodate denser commercial and residential development.
The zoning creates an overlay zone and divides Jackson Square into three districts where buildings could contain both residences and retail shops and be three to four stories high. The buildings could go up another story, though, if the developer promised that 10 percent of any residential space would be reserved for people that meet the state guidelines for affordable housing.
