Relates to floor area ratio requirements for buildings on farms
This bill prevents towns and villages from enforcing zoning rules that limit the size of farmhouses more strictly than state laws allow. It directly affects active farms by ensuring that local land-use regulations do not impose tighter floor area ratio restrictions than those already set by the state. If a local zoning ordinance violates this rule, the law declares that specific restriction unenforceable and effectively repeals it. The changes will take effect on April 1st of the year following the bill's passage.
