Bill > HF933

This bill limits municipal powers regarding planned unit developments (PUDs), which are flexible land development agreements that allow for more creative site design than traditional zoning. Specifically, the bill prevents municipalities from requiring a PUD agreement for a residential development that already meets existing zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, or qualifies as a conditional use. The bill also mandates transparency by requiring municipalities to publicly post PUD agreements on their websites at least seven days before review, or make them available for review at city hall if no website exists. Additionally, the bill stipulates that once a PUD agreement is approved, it cannot be modified without the consent of all parties involved. This legislation aims to provide more clarity and predictability for developers by restricting municipalities' ability to impose additional requirements beyond standard zoning regulations for residential developments.
