Massachusetts S2836 promotes housing development on religious sect land, allowing multi-family housing and by-right subdivisions.

Massachusetts S2836 amends zoning laws to facilitate housing development on land owned by religious sects or denominations. It allows multi-family housing with at least 20% affordable units and by-right subdivisions without minimum parking requirements. The bill also mandates housing production plans every five years and requires municipalities to align zoning with these plans. Additionally, it allows local governments to exempt full property taxes for multi-family housing on religious land and encourages the use of greyfields for housing. The bill takes effect one year after its enactment.
