> Subject: [LincolnTalk] Important decision today for ?MBTA
>       communities?by Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
> Message-ID: <[email protected]>
> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
> 
> The SJC released its decision today on Attorney General v. Town of Milton.  
> The decision may impact many communities served by the MBTA. The decision 
> vacates and renders unenforceable the complex regulations adopted by the 
> state's housing agency, EOHLC.  The SJC stated that the agency failed to 
> follow the procedures laid out in the state's Administrative Procedures Act.  
> So it's back to the drawing board for EOHLC.  If the regulations EOHLC 
> ultimately adopts differ meaningfully from the present (now vacated) 
> regulations, MBTA communities may find that they need to, or wish to, amend 
> their recent zoning actions.  
> 
> Here's the summary paragraph at the end of the decision:
> 
> Conclusion. For the foregoing reasons, we declare that the act creates an 
> affirmative duty for each MBTA community to have a zoning bylaw that allows 
> for at least one district of reasonable size where multifamily housing is 
> permitted as of right, as dictated by G. L. c. 40A, ? 3A, and that the act's 
> delegation of authority to HLC to promulgate guidelines does not violate art. 
> 30 of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights. We further declare that the 
> Attorney General has the power to bring suit for declaratory and injunctive 
> relief to enforce ? 3A and its corresponding guidelines. However, because 
> HLC's current guidelines were not promulgated in accordance with the APA, we 
> declare them ineffective and, as such, presently unenforceable.
>
