Jared Otte<\/a> – Local zoning regulations across the Commonwealth are frequently amended. These amendments often take place at a spring or fall town meeting or by vote of a city council (with the exception of Boston which is a discussion for another post). Because of this constant state of change, Massachusetts law provides \u201cgrandfathered\u201d or \u201cpreexisting nonconforming\u201d status to both structures that are constructed and uses that are commenced prior to a zoning amendment, provided they originally complied with the zoning regulations. Unfortunately, the statute that provides this protection, the first sentence of M.G.L. c. 40A, \u00a7 6, has confused readers since its enactment and is the topic of frequent litigation. Recently, the Appeals Court of Massachusetts answered one question raised by Section 6 when it was presented with the proposed replacement of a 100-bed nursing home facility built in Newburyport in 1968.<\/p>\n

In Welch-Philippino v. Zoning Board of Appeals of Newburyport<\/a>, the Appeals Court confirmed that when a structure dimensionally conforms to current zoning regulations while its use no longer conforms, but is grandfathered, that structure can be reconstructed without needing a special permit for the grandfathered use from the local permitting board. As the Appeals Court explained, M.G.L. c. 40A \u00a7 6 provides that nonconforming uses lose their grandfathered status when there is \u201cany change or substantial extension of such use.\u201d On the other hand, nonconforming structures lose their grandfathered status when there is \u201cany reconstruction, extension or structural change of such structure,\u201d or modification that amounts to \u201calteration of a structure\u2026for its use for a substantially different purpose or for the same purpose in a substantially different manner or to a substantially greater extent.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Appeals Court, affirming the Land Court\u2019s decision, ruled that the Port Associates Limited Partnership, the property owner, and Whittier Health Network, Inc., the healthcare organization operating the nursing home, could replace the 45 year old nursing home even though the use of the property was no longer permitted in the applicable zoning district. Because the existing facility and its proposed replacement were both dimensionally conforming structures, the Appeals Court confirmed that the appropriate inquiry is whether the project proposed a \u201cchange or substantial extension\u201d of the nonconforming use. Employing the three-pronged test set forth in the seminal 1973 zoning case Powers v. Building Inspector of Barnstable<\/a>, the Appeals Court confirmed that the project did not constitute a \u201cchange or substantial extension\u201d of the grandfathered use because (1) the property would continue to operate as a nursing home, (2) operation of the nursing home with 121 beds rather than 100 would not alter the quality, character, or degree of that use, and (3) the project would not have any adverse effect on the neighborhood different in kind from the exiting use, but would have a mitigating impact on its surroundings.<\/p>\n

This decision provides clarity on the application of zoning regulations for property owners and developers looking to upgrade or rebuild outdated buildings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
