An act relating to housing opportunities made for everyone

This bill amends Vermont's zoning laws to expand housing options by limiting parking requirements and mandating that municipalities allow multi-unit dwellings and accessory dwelling units in most residential areas. It requires municipalities to permit duplexes with the same standards as single-family homes and allows up to five dwelling units per acre in areas with sewer and water infrastructure, while also permitting affordable housing projects to exceed density limits by 40 percent. The legislation defines accessory dwelling units as secondary living spaces that must not exceed 30 percent of a home's floor area or 900 square feet and prohibits municipalities from banning hotels from renting rooms to individuals receiving public assistance. These changes apply to all municipalities in Vermont and are intended to increase housing availability without restricting local control over land use standards.
