Massachusetts H1333 facilitates site plan review by establishing guidelines for municipal zoning ordinances.

Massachusetts H1333 amends Chapter 40A to facilitate site plan review by municipalities. It allows cities and towns to adopt local ordinances requiring site plan review and approval before issuing building permits. The bill sets conditions for site plan approval, including a requirement for a simple majority vote within 90 days. It also mandates that site plan approvals lapse within three years unless extended for good cause. The bill provides for appeals of site plan decisions and requires municipalities to establish fees for employing outside consultants.
