Affordable Housing

Summary

The bill changes state statutes so counties and municipalities must allow multifamily and mixed‑use residential projects in areas zoned for commercial, industrial or mixed‑use, as long as at least 40% of units are affordable rentals for 30 years (or 65% of square footage is residential for mixed‑use). It also bars localities from adding extra height, setback or density limits beyond set thresholds and updates the definitions of commercial and industrial use. The changes are meant to expand affordable housing, especially for military families, and require a state office to study financing options and tiny homes.
