[Massplanners] FBC in Massachusetts

[Furtado, Jacqueline (SEA)]

Hi Chris,

I had the same question when I was studying for the AICP exam last year. In addition to the municipalities you already listed, I found the following:

Southfield, Massachusetts
Adopted under a Special Act of the Legislature to guide redevelopment of the former South Weymouth Naval Air Station, the South Shore Tri-Town Development Corporation has adopted form-based codes (FBCs) to work in conjunction with its zoning and land-use bylaws to convert the base into a brand new $1 billion community of nearly 3,000 homes, 2 million square feet of commercial space, a golf course and other amenities, and open space.

Along with Lowell, Southfield is used as a case study on the mass.gov website found here: https://www.mass.gov/service-details/case-studies-form-based-codes

Regards,
Jacquie

Hi all

Does anyone have a list of Massachusetts cities and towns that have already passed a Form Based Code? If not and you know of any specific communities, that would be helpful too (Somerville, Lowell, Ayer, and Littleton are the ones I know of with decent certainty).

Thanks!

Chris
