Relative to local zoning ordinances or by-laws. Municipalities and Regional Government.

AI Summary

This bill aims to facilitate the local approval of inclusionary zoning, which refers to a residential subdivision or multi-unit residential project where a certain percentage of the dwelling units or net floor area are reserved for the construction of permanently affordable housing units for individuals or households with incomes below a municipally determined percentage of the area's median income. The bill proposes that the adoption of or amendments to zoning ordinances or by-laws to allow for inclusionary zoning may be passed by a majority vote, rather than the higher threshold usually required for zoning changes.
