Bill Summary

Relative to the term of special permits under the zoning laws. Municipalities and Regional Government.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Massachusetts zoning laws to specify that a special permit granted under the law shall lapse within a specified period of time, not less than 3 years from the date of filing the approval with the city or town clerk, unless a substantial use of the permit has commenced or, in the case of a permit for construction, construction has begun by that date, except for good cause. This change provides more clarity and consistency around the duration of special permits issued by municipalities and regional governments.
