The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6813, seeks to amend section 8-30g of the general statutes regarding the Affordable Housing Appeals Procedure. The bill introduces new provisions that allow municipalities to earn one housing unit-equivalent point for each elderly unit constructed, with a cap of twenty percent of the municipality's total housing unit-equivalent points. Additionally, municipalities can earn one point for each three-bedroom dwelling unit, limited to ten percent of their total housing unit-equivalent points.
This modification aims to incentivize the development of elderly housing and three-bedroom units, thereby promoting a more diverse housing stock within municipalities. The bill does not specify any deletions from the current law but focuses on the new insertions that define the criteria for awarding housing unit-equivalent points.
