What guidelines has the EOHLC published?
The EOHLC has published guidelines that describe how cities and towns must comply with the MBTA-CA.
For example, there are guidelines for allowing multi-family housing "as of right"
These guidelines were revised on August 17, 2023 to allow mixed-use development zoning districts to fulfill up to 25% of the required unit capacity for a city or town’s multi-family zoning district. In Brookline’s case, its required unit capacity of 6,990 could include up to 1,748 units of capacity in a mixed-use development zoning district.
