Bill Summary

Relative to multifamily housing construction. Housing.

AI Summary

This bill aims to expedite multifamily housing construction. It amends Chapter 40A of Massachusetts law to require cities and towns to permit multifamily development by right (without requiring a special permit) in at least 1.5% of their developable land area, at a minimum density of 20 units per acre. The bill also removes the requirement for a standard subdivision plan as a prerequisite for cluster development approvals, and requires zoning ordinances to permit accessory dwelling units by right in single-family residential districts without unreasonable regulations on their location, dimensions, or design.
