Overview
This bill modifies existing rules about adaptive reuse projects in industrial zones. It clarifies that adaptive reuse projects are not permitted in industrial zones that don’t allow residential use, unless the zone already allows residential use. It also adds a new restriction: adaptive reuse projects are prohibited on sites with a primary use classified as a high-hazard occupancy. The bill aims to streamline the approval process for these projects while addressing potential safety concerns.
Key provisions
- Adaptive reuse projects are not permitted in industrial zones without residential use.
- Adaptive reuse projects are prohibited on sites with a high-hazard (Group H) occupancy.
- The definition of ‘adaptive reuse project’ is revised to exclude buildings with high-hazard occupancies.
- The bill clarifies that adaptive reuse projects are ‘use by right’ in zones allowing residential use.
- It establishes a streamlined, ministerial review process for these projects.
- It requires a minimum percentage of affordable housing units in adaptive reuse projects.
- It mandates Phase I environmental assessments and preliminary endangerment assessments.
- It provides for density bonus incentives for adaptive reuse projects.
