AI Summary
This bill aims to promote open space residential development by amending the state's zoning laws. It prohibits municipalities from prohibiting or unreasonably regulating the use of land for open space residential development, which is defined as a residential development where buildings and accessory uses are clustered together, leaving intervening open land. The bill also requires that the open land be at least equal in area to the land required for the total number of units or buildings, and that this open land be conveyed to the municipality, a non-profit conservation organization, or a corporation or trust owned by the property owners, with a restriction ensuring the land remains open and undeveloped.
