AN ACT relating to planning and zoning.

Summary

The bill creates new state rules that stop certain cities, counties and consolidated governments from imposing strict lot‑size, setback, parking and aesthetic requirements on residential developments of five acres or more. It also requires those jurisdictions to allow mixed‑use and multifamily housing in commercial zones and gives developers a right to sue if the rules are applied improperly. The changes aim to make housing development easier while still protecting safety, utilities and the environment.
