AN ACT PROHIBITING CERTAIN LAND USE AND ZONING LIMITATIONS ON HOUSING.
FILE NO. 171
Summary
The measure amends state zoning law to stop local governments from prohibiting family child‑care homes, cottage‑food businesses, recycling bins, manufactured homes, and temporary health‑care structures in residential zones. It also prevents towns from setting minimum lot sizes, floor‑area standards, parking requirements, or caps on multifamily units that go beyond state building codes. The changes apply to most properties, with exemptions for historic sites, state‑acquired agricultural land, conservation lands, and safety‑related codes.
