Residential-in-Commercial-Zone Laws - Study (Bring Back Main Street Act)
Approved by the Governor - Chapter 726
Summary
The bill requires counties with populations over 150,000 to treat certain multifamily and mixed‑use developments on water‑served, recreational or commercial‑zoned parcels as permitted uses, meaning they can be approved without a public hearing or discretionary permit. It caps how much counties can restrict these projects—no lower density limits, no extra setbacks, and limited requirements for parking, retail space, and affordable units. The change aims to increase housing options and streamline development in growing areas.
