Bill Summary

Relative to site plan judicial review. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Section 17 of Chapter 40A of the General Laws, which deals with zoning regulations, by adding the phrase "site plan review or" before every instance of "special permit." This change is intended to ensure that site plan review, a process where proposed development plans are examined for compliance with local zoning and land use regulations, is treated similarly to special permits in legal challenges or judicial review, meaning that decisions made during site plan review could be subject to the same level of scrutiny in court as decisions on special permits.
