Hearing (House)
Summary
The bill would require local jurisdictions to evaluate unused commercial or industrial parcels and include that analysis in their housing plans. It also defines “middle housing” (duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, cottage clusters and townhouses) and tells counties to adopt rules that let these types be built on single‑family lots, with limited setbacks, parking and utility requirements. The measure was heard in the House but did not pass.
