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 accessory parking spaces from 1.5 to one space per residential unit. The bill also removes the previous stipulation that allowed for 1.5 parking spaces for studio and one-bedroom units under 1000 square feet that qualify as workforce housing, as well as the requirement for multi-family developments of 10 units or more.

The new legal language emphasizes a more restrictive approach to parking requirements, aiming to simplify regulations for municipalities while potentially encouraging more efficient land use. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, with an effective date of September 13, 2025.
