For legislation to remove zoning barriers to help create affordable housing. Municipalities and Regional Government.
AI Summary
This bill aims to remove barriers and create affordable housing by amending Section 3A of Chapter 40A of the General Laws in Massachusetts. The bill prohibits any regulations promulgated under Section 3A from limiting a municipality's ability to require a minimum number of affordable units within a zoning district created under this section. This change is intended to give municipalities more flexibility and autonomy in establishing affordable housing requirements, potentially leading to increased construction of affordable housing units.
