Summary

The bill changes New Mexico zoning law so counties and cities can no longer restrict building height or the number of stories. It permits residential apartments in commercial districts, allows duplexes, townhouses and an extra single‑family unit in residential zones, and lets neighborhood‑scale shops and services operate in those zones. It also eliminates required minimum off‑street parking, except for spaces needed for accessibility.
