First the City claimed it had never accepted the law, but then lost a case where a judge determined that the City was subject to subdivision control.

In that case, the Planning Board denied the site plan review for a simple spilt of a lot (what would be an ANR in any other community). The Land Court judge remanded it back to Planning Board and reminded them that they could not deny a site plan review, but that they were permitted to put reasonable conditions on the approval. To me, as Planning Director at the time, that was a big win for the City. I didn’t expect the court to let a denial of a site plan review to stand. We advised the Planning Board that they couldn’t deny it. But, the court did affirm our use of the process and permit the Board to put conditions on the approval. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">What that means for other communities, I don’t know. Since the home-rule is a one-off thing, I don’t think this provides any precedent for any other community. Not sure if the legislature would let a home-rule like this pass today.

local application of c41 s81K etc. required legislative approval, and left open the question of whether the City could regulate subdivisions at all.

"Section 81N. Except as provided in section eighty-one EE, <b class="">the subdivision control law shall be in effect in every city, except Boston, and every town, which prior to the first day of January, nineteen hundred and fifty-four, established a planning board

<br class="">
I could be wrong, but this sounds to me like the Town has a single opportunity to reject subdivision control law. Can a town opt out afterward? Not sure...
<br class="">
<br class="">
FWIW: Bobrowski confirms that towns can opt in, confirms the responsibility of the Planning Board to establish rules, but is silent on the issue of opting out. Maybe because no city or town ever has?<br class="">

As a veteran of the Zoning Reform movement – at least two decades old – I believe that most observers agree that broad change to MGLc 40A is very unlikely in the foreseeable future. ANR has been a foundational matter for homebuilders and other developers,
so use of your zoning bylaw to regulate larger ANR subdivisions is unlikely.<o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> However, you might consider seeking Town General By-law requiring review by the Bd of Selectmen and Bd of health before any building permit is issued involving land
which has been subdivided via DNR in the past five (three, or ten?) years, and requiring a note to that effect on any ANR plan for an aggregate of more than five (three, or ten?) lots – note that it must include serial ANR plans to come under the numerical
threshold. The public interest in reviewing curb cuts, groundwater quality and public water supply would, I suggest, make such a bylaw defensible.<o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> My two bits<o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Buzz Constable<o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:11.4pt">

comprehensive zoning reform is difficult because it’s complicated and generates immediate opposition given its size, scope, and subject matter. APA-MA and MAPD have filed legislation this session relative to zoning reform, two of which received hearings:
codifying a framework for site plan review and lowering the voting threshold for all zoning amendments (which is written as an opt-in for municipalities unlike Housing Choice). <o:p class=""></o:p></p>
