While Power said she hopes to resolve the issue within the committee, she said Harvard currently has no interest in selling or donating the site to the community.

But Harvard is not particularly pleased with the study committee’s recommendations so far either.

The currently discussed zoning would only allow for one story of a high-ceilinged modern art museum and not the three-story building Harvard wanted to build, Power said, nor could the University put up housing.

The study committee’s recommendations also included a plan to rezone the adjacent NStar site in Riverside, so that all the buildings currently on the site will be residential. Harvard will likely purchase the NStar site, since it contains several unused buildings as well as the University’s lone steam source.

The recommendations presented last night will likely change only slightly between now and June, when they are slated to be presented to the city’s Planning Board, according to study committee co-chair Stuart Dash of the Cambridge Development Department.
