Bill Summary

Relative to site plan zoning review. Municipalities and Regional Government.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 40A of the General Laws to add a new section 7A, which authorizes municipalities to adopt local ordinances or by-laws requiring site plan review and approval before issuing a building permit. Site plan review allows the municipality to review the proposed use of land or structures to ensure compliance with zoning requirements related to traffic, safety, parking, drainage, and other factors. The bill sets forth the procedures for site plan review, including time limits for approval, conditions that can be imposed, and appeal processes. It also provides that existing site plan review requirements will not be affected by this new law until one year after its effective date.
