An Act improving housing opportunities

This bill aims to increase housing availability by requiring local zoning laws to allow multifamily apartment buildings by right in at least 1.5% of a town's developable land. It establishes a minimum density of 20 units per acre for these developments and removes certain restrictions on open space residential projects, making them easier to approve. Additionally, the legislation mandates that accessory dwelling units, such as in-law apartments, be permitted by right in all single-family residential zones with minimal regulation on their design. The bill also introduces a new site plan review process that allows municipalities to evaluate the layout and infrastructure of developments without requiring special permits or variances.
