Bill overview
This bill changes how municipalities calculate their affordable housing obligations. It excludes certain environmentally sensitive and flood-prone land from being considered ‘vacant’ or ‘available’ for building affordable housing. Specifically, it includes land regulated by agencies like the Highlands Water Protection Council, the Flood Hazard Area Control Act, and the Freshwater Wetlands Protection Act. The goal is to prevent affordable housing development on land that poses environmental risks.
