Bill overview
This bill aims to restore local control over zoning regulations, specifically regarding multi-family housing development, within Metropolitan Boston Transportation (MBTA) communities. It seeks to limit the ability of the state to automatically approve multi-family housing projects ‘as-of-right’ in these areas, returning more decision-making power to local municipalities. The legislation intends to give local governments greater flexibility in managing growth and development patterns within their communities. This bill is part of a broader effort to address concerns about the impact of increased development on MBTA areas.
