Inexpedient to Legislate: MA VV 03/05/2026 HJ 6 P. 28
Summary
The bill rewrites the definition of commercially‑zoned land to mean any land in a zoning district that allows commercial uses under local rules, and narrows the mixed‑use definition to a development that combines residential, commercial, cultural, institutional, or entertainment uses within a single building or development. It would affect developers, local planning boards, and municipalities by altering what projects can be built on commercial parcels, potentially opening more land for multi‑family housing. The change is intended to give towns more flexibility in land‑use decisions.
