AN ACT RELATING TO TOWNS AND CITIES -- ZONING ORDINANCES

Summary

The bill would amend Rhode Island’s zoning law so that any new development must set aside at least 15% of its units as affordable housing for 30 years. It also establishes a one‑for‑one market‑rate density bonus, allows off‑site or fee‑in‑lie alternatives, and gives municipalities flexibility in incentives, with a special provision for the town of Johnston. The measure was withdrawn before becoming law.
