Massachusetts S3157 mandates zoning ordinances for housing production, setting minimum lot sizes and requiring multi-family housing districts.

Massachusetts S3157 requires municipalities to enact zoning ordinances setting a minimum lot size of 1 acre for Class One residential properties, except when necessary for compliance with environmental regulations. It mandates that municipalities with populations over 10,000 establish at least one district permitting multi-family housing suitable for families with children. Municipalities can apply for waivers if their subsidized housing units exceed 10% of their total housing units. Non-compliant municipalities lose eligibility for certain housing funds.
