[Massplanners] Does Inclusionary Zoning NOT apply to Subdivisions?

[Nipun Jain]

Just look up including housing regulations in MA and you will find several zoning provisions that apply to subdivisions as well. It obviously depends on how inclusionary zoning regulations and provisions are written in your code.

Good afternoon –
Although it seems counter-intuitive to me, Town Counsel is saying that our Inclusionary Zoning bylaw can not be applied to subdivisions, since they are authorized under different sections of MGL. A veteran Planning Board member thinks otherwise and the issue will come up at our April meeting. Not to circumvent Counsel, but does anybody have any evidence to support or contradict their opinion? I fear I will not be able to explain this to the Planning Board without citations or examples.
Thanks!
