LC 1655 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise municipal zoning to allow for triplex and fourplex housing

This bill requires cities with at least 5,000 residents to allow duplex, triplex, and fourplex housing on lots where single-family homes are permitted, ensuring these multi-unit options face no stricter zoning rules than single-family homes. It also mandates that urban municipalities with municipal water and sewer systems allow multiple-unit dwellings and mixed-use developments in commercial zones, while limiting off-street parking requirements to one space per unit. Additionally, the legislation encourages cities to adopt various housing strategies such as reducing minimum lot sizes, eliminating certain impact fees, and relaxing design requirements to promote more diverse housing options.
