Summary

The bill adds a new chapter to the municipal code that makes multi‑unit homes (two to four units) a permitted use wherever a single‑family house is allowed. It bars local governments from imposing stricter zoning, design, parking or residency requirements on these homes and requires proof that existing infrastructure can handle them. The change aims to increase housing options without adding new taxes or fees.
