990 CMR 5.02 - Significance
A determination by the Council thata proposed project is feasible and deserving of state assistance is a preliminary judgment that the proposal warrants further and detailed review pursuant to the impact analysis and licensing procedures set forth in St. 1980, c. 508. Such a determination shall mean that based on the Council's review of the information available to it within the time constraints imposed by M.G.L. c. 21D the proposed project meets the threshold criteria specified in 990 CMR 5.03 and 5.04, and that therefore the developer, the host community and the abutting communities are eligible to utilize state assistance and the special procedures established by M.G.L. c. 21D during the impact analysis, negotiation and licensing phases of the siting process.
