More Homes: Streamlining Construction and Accessibility for Everyone.
This act aims to increase housing availability by simplifying state and local building and zoning regulations. Citizens can expect more available housing, including affordable options, and potentially lower housing costs. The changes also seek to streamline the permitting process for construction.
Key points
Simplified Building Rules: Reducing requirements for parking, minimum lot sizes, and setbacks, which could lower construction costs and increase housing supply.
More Housing Types: Easier construction of duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, and accessory dwelling units, increasing housing variety and availability.
Support for Affordable Housing: Promoting the construction of homes for low and moderate-income individuals and mechanisms to prevent displacement of current residents.
Streamlined Permitting: Introducing faster and more predictable approval processes for construction projects, reducing waiting times for building to begin.
Transit-Oriented Development: Encouraging more housing near public transit stations, making commuting easier and potentially reducing the need for car ownership.
