Bill Summary
For legislation to authorize the use of form-based zoning in cities and towns. Municipalities and Regional Government.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the use of form-based zoning in cities and towns in Massachusetts. Form-based zoning is a type of zoning that focuses on the physical form of buildings and their relationship to public spaces, rather than just on the permitted uses of the land. The bill allows form-based zoning to regulate elements such as building type, materials, heights, frontage, street design, and public open spaces. It also allows for the integration of standards for new and existing streets, sidewalks, use, and dimensional requirements into a single "regulating plan" document.
