<div dir="ltr"><div>Kate: FYI. The Guidebook to Massachusetts Land Use, available on the APA-MA Chapter website, includes an entire section on this topic; Section 4-06, within Zoning Chapter. While it is not written in a checklist style, it does cover all of the topics you mentioned and much more and does include some tables for certain of those topics. It also includes a number of references to MA court decisions on zoning adoption and amendments with direct links to the entire cases.</div><div><br></div><div>Bob</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,153);font-size:large"><br></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,153);font-size:large">Bob Mitchell FAICP</span></div><div>Planning Consultant</div><div>Land Use, Planning, Zoning, & Training Programs</div><div>151 Tremont Street Suite 23A</div><div>Boston, MA 02111</div><div>617-512-9751 (c)<span></span><span></span></div><div><a href="mailto:MitchellFAICP@gmail.com" target="_blank">MitchellFAICP@gmail.com</a></div><div> <br></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Apr 17, 2025 at 5:41\u202fPM Kate Mallory via MassPlanners <<a href="mailto:massplanners@masscptc.org">massplanners@masscptc.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg-8837173205140288739">
