This bill modifies the regulations surrounding mandatory on-site parking requirements for residential units by amending the existing law. Specifically, it changes the maximum number of required residential parking spaces from 1.5 to one space per unit. This adjustment applies to studio and one-bedroom units under 1,000 square feet that qualify as workforce housing, as well as to multi-family developments of 10 units or more, which previously had a different parking requirement.

The legal language reflects these changes by deleting the phrase "1.5" and replacing it with "one" in the context of required parking spaces. Additionally, the bill removes the stipulation regarding the parking requirements for multi-family developments, thereby simplifying the regulations for municipalities in their planning and zoning efforts. Overall, the bill aims to reduce the burden of parking requirements on residential developments, particularly those designed for workforce housing.
