Proposed Bill No. 6423, introduced in the General Assembly by Representatives McCarthy Vahey, Leeper, and Keitt, aims to amend subsection (l) of section 8-30g of the general statutes. The bill proposes to assign a housing unit-equivalent point value to deed-restricted accessory dwelling units (ADUs) located within any municipality. This amendment would effectively allow these ADUs to contribute to a municipality's affordable housing appeals moratoriums.
The purpose of the bill is to facilitate the inclusion of certain accessory dwelling units in the calculation of housing-unit equivalent points, which can influence a municipality's standing in terms of state-mandated affordable housing requirements. The bill does not include specific text for insertions or deletions but rather indicates a general intent to amend the existing statutes to recognize ADUs in this capacity.
