Bill Summary

Relative to zoning variances. Municipalities and Regional Government.

AI Summary

This bill amends a section of Massachusetts' zoning laws related to variances. Specifically, it changes the timeframe for exercising rights granted by a variance, allowing the permit granting authority to extend the one-year exercise period by up to an additional six months upon written application by the grantee. If the authority does not grant the extension within 30 days, the rights may only be reestablished after a new public hearing. The bill aims to provide more flexibility for grantees to exercise their variance rights while maintaining the permit granting authority's oversight.
