The bill, presented by Michael J. Barrett, seeks to amend the General Laws of Massachusetts by adding multi-family housing that complies with the state's transit-oriented development statute to the list of facilities exempt from the single-parcel rule. This amendment specifically targets subsection (l) of section 139 of chapter 164, where it proposes to insert language that recognizes multi-family housing in zoning districts compliant with section 3A of Chapter 40A as eligible for exemption.

By including this provision, the bill aims to facilitate the development of multi-family housing in areas that are designed to promote transit accessibility, thereby encouraging sustainable growth and addressing housing needs in Massachusetts. The proposed change reflects a commitment to enhancing housing options while supporting transit-oriented development initiatives.
