<div dir="auto">Thanks Russell, I knew there was a case that was on point. I know many communities have ignored this case, but I have always recommended the Special Permit density bonus provisions which are found in 40A 9 and also consistent with all the exaction case law in MA.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Daniel Fortier, AICP </div><div dir="auto">Retired Planner </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Mar 19, 2024, 8:24 PM Russell Burke <<a href="mailto:rburke@bscgroup.com">rburke@bscgroup.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">You may wish to review the following case decided by the Mass Appeals Court which determined that special permit requirements for conventional Subdivisions are in conflict with the uniformity
requirements of MGL Ch 40A, S 4 and therefore are invalid. Most inclusionary provisions apply to units created through a prescribed zoning action or incentives via the issuance of a special permit.
