Summary

The bill changes New Mexico zoning law so counties and cities can no longer set minimum lot sizes for homes. It also adds rules to help small community residences, lets neighborhoods be labeled as historic communities, and requires zoning boards to allow multigenerational houses with up to two kitchens. The goal is to expand housing choices and protect historic areas.
