Facilitates local approval of inclusionary zoning for affordable housing in Massachusetts.
The bill amends Chapter 40A of the General Laws to facilitate local approval of inclusionary zoning, which ensures affordable housing in residential projects. It mandates that zoning ordinances or bylaws do not unduly constrain housing production. Inclusionary zoning reserves a percentage of units for those with incomes below a municipally determined threshold. The Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities can issue guidelines to support this process.
