Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the general city law, the village law and the town law, in relation to limiting a municipality's authority to impose certain zoning requirements

AI Summary

This bill limits the authority of cities, villages, and towns in New York to impose certain zoning requirements. Specifically, it prohibits municipalities from establishing minimum lot sizes larger than 1,200 square feet, requiring the construction of off-street parking spaces as a condition of building permits (except for loading and unloading areas), and prohibiting the construction and occupation of dwellings for four or fewer families on a single lot or six or fewer families on a lot within 0.25 miles of a commuter rail or subway station. The bill aims to promote housing affordability and access to public transportation. It will take effect 180 days after becoming law, and municipalities must ensure their local laws comply with the new requirements by the effective date.
