Bill Summary
Relative to the requirements for calculating the municipal land area for subsidized housing inventory. Housing.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Chapter 40B of the Massachusetts General Laws to specify certain categories of land that should not be counted towards a city or town's total land area when calculating the Subsidized Housing Inventory (SHI) eligibility under the state's affordable housing law. The excluded categories include land under Chapter 61A (agricultural land), Chapter 61B (recreational land), farmland with perpetual deed restrictions, private cemeteries, and land for underground and above-ground utilities. This change would impact the calculation of whether a municipality has met the 1.5% SHI threshold for affordable housing development on its total residential, commercial, and industrial land.
