Bill Summary
Relative to affordable housing. Housing.
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 40B of the Massachusetts General Laws, which relates to affordable housing. Specifically, it extends the range of sections referenced in the law from "20 to 23" to "20 to 23B". It also allows the board of appeals to issue a notice of proposed smart growth zoning district adoption, which would prevent an appeal to the housing appeals committee if the city or town submits an application for a smart growth zoning district within 180 days or was in the process of adopting one. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to develop a program to educate cities and towns on Chapter 40B and Chapter 40R, the smart growth zoning district law, and to provide active outreach to those that have not yet adopted a smart growth zoning district.
