Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill grants the City of Medford the authority to require the adoption of institutional master plans, which are land-use and development plans for larger-scale institutional facilities like hospitals, healthcare institutions, colleges, universities, and non-profit educational corporations. The purpose is to promote and facilitate the coordinated and predictable development of these facilities by allowing the city to review and approve the master plans, which must address the institution's growth and development strategies and impacts. The bill overrides the general law that exempts certain institutional facilities from local zoning regulations, giving the city the power to impose this master plan review process.
