Establishes provisions governing municipal regulation of certain mixed-use and multifamily residential development projects and conversion of certain commercial buildings to mixed-use and multifamily residential occupancy
Referred: Emerging Issues(H)
Summary
The bill requires municipalities in charter counties with more than 700,000 residents to permit mixed‑use or multifamily projects in zones already allowing office, retail, or warehouse uses, without demanding zoning changes or stricter density, height, setback, parking, or traffic‑impact requirements. It applies to conversions of older commercial buildings that become at least 65% residential, while still allowing standard regulations such as water‑quality, historic‑preservation, and short‑term‑rental rules. The intent is to reduce regulatory barriers and increase housing supply.
