An Act providing a buffer for manufactured home communities

This bill establishes a 0.2-mile buffer zone around manufactured home communities in Massachusetts MBTA communities. It requires local zoning ordinances to prohibit new multi-family housing developments (like apartment buildings) within this buffer distance. The law directly affects manufactured home communities by limiting nearby development and impacts developers or communities planning new housing projects near these areas. The key mechanism is the mandatory zoning restriction to keep new multi-family housing separate from manufactured home communities.
