At its Dec. 14 meeting, the Boston Planning and Development Agency’s Board of Directors approved a proposed 3-story East Boston apartment building, according to the agency.

The 656 Saratoga St. project will have 30 rental units, including four income-restricted units, 30 off-street parking spaces, and at least 30 on-site bicycle storage spaces. The 30 residential units are anticipated to consist of 14 studio units, seven one-bedroom units and nine two-bedroom units.

This project will also include a financial contribution of $28,500 to be used toward the relocation of the MBTA bus stop and shelter on westbound Bennington Street/Moore Street on the Route 120 to the far side of the intersection. This transportation enhancement will improve operations on the Route 120 bus and improve pedestrian safety. In addition, a $3,000 contribution to the Salesian Boys and Girls Club Inc. will be used for general operating capital for the club which provides athletic, tutoring, dance, cooking, and educational programming for local children. Another contribution of $3,500 to the Veronica Robles Cultural Center Corp. will be used for general operating capital needed to sustain and implement youth programs which include art making, dance and musical activities.
