Summary

The bill lets the town of Coventry mandate two parking spots for each studio, one‑bedroom, or two‑bedroom low‑ or moderate‑income housing unit if it determines that public transportation or nearby off‑street parking is limited or unavailable. The requirement applies only to those affordable‑housing units after a municipal finding. It is intended to ensure residents have adequate parking where other options are lacking.
