At this event we'll have a directed group discussion about zoning reform and land use. Our focus will of course be on multifamily housing. We will start with a short presentation on zoning and land use restrictions, including a zoning reform proposed in Newton. (This discussion is not limited to landlords with ties to Newton.) We will aim to cover a variety of topics of interest to zoning reform researchers and advocates, including:
- How many of us have recently added a unit to an existing developed lot?
- How many of us would add units to existing developed lots if we could?
- What do we think some of the upsides of zoning reform are? What are some of the downsides?
- What is it like to try for a zoning appeal?
- Why do landlords support zoning reform?
Attendees will leave having shared perspective with MassLandlords staff and research associates in ways that will influence academic research and policy advocacy.
This discussion will be moderated in part by Jenna Davis. Jenna is a PhD Candidate in Urban Planning at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation of Columbia University. Jenna’s current research examines how local land use regulations interact with neighborhood change in North American cities.
You can volunteer for a future event.
Networking time will be moderated by Patrick Sullivan. Patrick has been an avid landlord since 2007 primarily focusing on multi families in the greater Worcester area. Having worked in high level IT his whole life he looks at things from a different perspective which he applies to real estate. He became a Real Estate agent in 2015 and now primarily focuses on Sober living facilities for people recently out of drug and alcohol treatment centers. Patrick sits on the statewide MassLandlords Board of Directors.
