BUILDING & ZONING CHANGES

SB 310 would remove most building height restrictions and allow duplexes or townhouses in residential zones, except in historic districts. It also permits small neighborhood commercial uses (like local shops, cafes, or offices) in residential areas, provided they follow noise and traffic rules. Historic districts and designated "traditional historic communities" (created via a 25% elector petition) would remain exempt from these changes. The bill was referred to committees but was postponed indefinitely in June 2025.
