Last night at a joint meeting of the Board of Selectmen and Planning Board a Housing Production Plan was unanimously accepted. The plan, if approved by the Department of Housing and Community Development, will give the town the prerogative of rebuffing unwanted 40B developments for a period of a year. There are currently 3 developments being proposed under MGL chapter 40. Under Chapter 40B, in any municipality where less than 10% of its housing qualifies as affordable under the law, a developer can build more densely than the municipal zoning bylaws would permit, allowing more units per acre of land when building a new development, if at least 25% (or 20% in certain cases) of the new units have long-term affordability restrictions.
