Bill > H2039

This bill aims to facilitate the local approval of inclusionary zoning, which refers to a requirement that a certain percentage of dwelling units or net floor area in a residential subdivision or multi-unit residential project be reserved for the construction of affordable housing units. The bill amends the state's existing zoning laws to explicitly allow municipalities to adopt such inclusionary zoning ordinances or bylaws, providing them with the authority to determine the size threshold for projects subject to the requirement and the percentage of affordable units to be included, based on the area's median income levels.
