5 in a city shall identify those parcels classified in class two which
6 have fewer than [eleven] thirty-five residential units. The assessor of
7 any such special assessing unit shall not increase the assessment of any
8 parcel so identified in any one year, as measured from the actual
9 assessment on the previous year's assessment roll, by more than eight
10 percent and shall not increase such assessment by more than thirty
11 percent in any five-year period. The first such five-year period shall
12 be measured from the individual assessment appearing on the assessment
13 roll completed in nineteen hundred eighty-one provided that, if such
14 parcel would not have been subject to the provisions of this subdivision
15 in nineteen hundred eighty-one had this subdivision then been in effect,
16 the first such five-year period shall be measured from the first year
17 after nineteen hundred eighty-one in which this subdivision applied to
18 such parcel or would have applied to such parcel had this subdivision
19 been in effect in such year.
20 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
