Bill Summary
For legislation regarding municipal form-based zoning codes. Community Development and Small Businesses.
AI Summary
This bill aims to define and establish form-based zoning as a municipal planning tool. Form-based zoning focuses on regulating the physical form of buildings and their relationship to public spaces, rather than solely on the use of the land. The bill allows municipalities to incorporate form-based zoning into their zoning ordinances or bylaws, which can include specifications for building types, materials, heights, street design, and other parameters that shape the built environment. This approach provides a more comprehensive and integrated method of land use regulation compared to traditional zoning based primarily on permitted uses.
