Relating to: allowing more than 35 percent of the area within a tax incremental district in the Village of Somers to be used for residential use. (FE)

SB 1033 would change zoning rules for development districts in the Village of Somers by raising the maximum allowable residential land use from 35% to 50% of the district's total area. This specifically affects new residential projects within Somers' tax incremental districts, which are designated areas used to spur local economic development through tax revenue reinvestment. The bill amends a statute defining "mixed-use development" to remove the 35% cap and replace it with a 50% limit for Somers, while maintaining the 35% cap for other areas. This policy change directly modifies how residential space can be allocated in development plans approved for Somers' tax increment districts.
