Bill > SB6024

This bill aims to promote community and transit-oriented housing development. It requires cities planning under the Growth Management Act to allow multifamily and mixed-use development within "station areas" near major transit stops, with minimum floor area ratio requirements. The bill also prohibits minimum parking requirements in these areas, with some exceptions. The bill provides for technical assistance, planning grants, and environmental review processes to support transit-oriented development. It also creates a legislative review of the impacts of these new requirements. Overall, the bill seeks to maximize the benefits of the state's transportation investments by facilitating higher-density, walkable, and transit-accessible development.
