HD 2582 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act facilitating site plan review

This bill standardizes site plan review processes for municipalities, requiring approval before building permits for land or structure projects. It defines review criteria (traffic, parking, safety, drainage, and neighborhood compatibility) and mandates a 90-day approval timeline for standard projects with a simple majority vote. Denials are limited to specific reasons like non-compliance or unmitigable impacts on adjacent properties. Approvals lapse after three years if construction hasn't begun, ensuring timely project execution.
