Background
\nIn 2021\, the Massachusetts Legislature added a ne
w section to the state’s Zoning Act (MGL Chapter 40A) — MBTA Communities Multifamily Zoning Requirement (Sec
tion 3A) — that requires each municipality in the MBTA d
istrict to zone for by-right multifamily housing near tr
ansit stations or smart growth locations.
span>
MAPC has de veloped an interactive MBTA Communities Multifamily Zoning Requirement (Se ction 3A) District Suitability Analysis Tool to help municipalities within the MAPC region identify locations for 3A zoning districts that also adva nce regional and local goals.
\n\nThis Webinar\n< span class='x_x_xnormaltextrun'>MAPC staff will provide an overview of the tool’s use and showcase how it may be applied\, in tandem with sta keholder-driven processes\, to facilitate conversations around areas suita ble for new housing production.
