Bill > SB772

This bill amends the Infill Infrastructure Grant Program of 2019 to expand and modify several key provisions related to housing development and infrastructure grants. The bill broadens the definition of a qualifying infill project to include sites where at least 75% of the perimeter adjoins previously developed parcels, and changes the affordable housing requirement from units affordable to households earning up to 60% of area median income to units affordable to households earning up to 80% of area median income. The bill also modifies the application and ranking process for grant applications, now requiring documentation of permit approvals and ranking applications based on proximity to transit, walkability to essential services, and proximity to housing services. Additionally, the bill introduces alternative pathways for meeting affordability requirements, such as compliance with certain housing development streamlining provisions, and expands the definition of qualifying infill areas to include areas that can be made suitable for residential development under recent affordable housing legislation. The changes aim to facilitate more flexible and accessible housing infrastructure development, particularly in urban areas with potential for residential growth, while maintaining a focus on affordability and strategic urban development.
