Bill Summary

For legislation relative to 40B projects built near historical housing. Community Development and Small Businesses.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 21 of Chapter 40B of the Massachusetts General Laws to require that applications to build low or moderate-income housing in a designated historic district must obtain a certificate of appropriateness from the local historic commission. The historic commission will hold its hearing concurrently with the local zoning board and have its conditions included in the permit, which cannot be appealed to the housing appeals committee as an uneconomic condition. Additionally, the application cannot be denied based solely on its location within a historic district.
