At the earliest, the council will consider the amendments in two weeks.

The city's planning board will first implement IPOP at their meeting tonight. Two major Cambridge developers, Polaroid and Lyme, will be testifying at the hearing about their proposed construction projects.

Neighbors are expected to testify in large numbers against the buildings.

Councillor Triantifillou also requested a report from Healy continuing the council's investigation into the possibility of taxing Harvard property.

The council wants to investigate whether Harvard's affiliate housing property is tax-exempt. Triantifillou pointed to a recent article in the Harvard Gazette which reported a Harvard Planning and Real Estate's proposal to increase the rent on affiliate housing by 4 percent.

"If Harvard is going to charge market rate [rent] then they should be paying market rate [taxes]," Triantifillou said. "If these properties are being charged market rate there's no reason they're tax exempt."

This report request is similar to a report submitted last year by Healy regarding Harvard's non-profit, educational institution tax-exempt status as it related to profit-making activities on Harvard-owned properties.
