Does a claimed 40B safe harbor justify denial of this particular proposal?
- Record to read
- board denial, HAC docket 2020-04 and final order
- Constraint to test
- The order preserves building, fire-flow, financing and subsidizing-agency conditions.
- Next action
- Track compliance with the permit order and any subsequent court review separately from physical construction.
The boundary of the finding
- Do not promote the committee order into a building permit or claim a 2025 court ruling without its original opinion.
- The state decision notes judicial review may be sought within 30 days; subsequent status needs separate audit.
Latest cited status: 2022-03-15 signed HAC decision; later permit/construction status not verified
