AI Summary

This bill aims to facilitate site plan review in Massachusetts. It allows municipalities to adopt local ordinances or bylaws requiring site plan review and approval before a building permit is granted for the use of land or structures governed by a zoning ordinance or bylaw. The bill outlines the review process, including the submission, review, and approval requirements, as well as the criteria for approving or denying a site plan application. It also establishes provisions for appealing site plan decisions and requires the posting of a bond in certain cases. The bill provides a one-year grace period for municipalities that had already adopted a zoning ordinance or bylaw requiring some form of site plan review prior to the effective date of this act.
