Bill Summary
Relative to the term of special permits under the zoning laws. Municipalities and Regional Government.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 9 of Chapter 40A of the General Laws to change the lapse period for special permits granted under the zoning laws. Previously, the lapse period was not less than 3 years from the date of filing the approval with the city or town clerk. The bill now provides that the zoning ordinances or by-laws shall specify the lapse period, which shall not be less than 3 years, and the lapse period shall not include the time required to pursue or await the determination of an appeal. The lapse period will start from the date the special permit is granted, rather than the date of filing the approval.
