Bill > HB05114

This bill seeks to repeal section 8-30g of Connecticut's general statutes, which would effectively eliminate the current affordable housing appeal procedure. Section 8-30g is a state law that currently allows developers to bypass local zoning regulations when proposing affordable housing developments, provided that a certain percentage of the units are designated as affordable for low- and moderate-income residents. By repealing this section, the bill aims to return full zoning control authority back to individual municipalities, meaning local towns and cities would regain the ability to regulate and potentially restrict housing developments based on their own local zoning rules. The proposed change would significantly reduce the state's ability to mandate affordable housing development and give local governments more power to control land use and housing development within their jurisdictions.
