Summary
The bill defines a “qualified project” as a new or substantially renovated residential development that has been targeted by retaliatory downzoning and includes a minimum share of affordable units. It requires counties and municipalities to permit these projects to be built at densities greater than normally allowed, with specific percentage increases depending on the zoning district. The measure aims to protect developers from punitive zoning actions and to preserve affordable housing.
