This bill introduces new regulations regarding road frontage requirements and setbacks for wetlands and lot lines, aiming to enhance housing density. Specifically, it mandates that these requirements shall not exceed 50 feet and must align with existing shoreland protection and environmental standards. The bill amends RSA 674:17, I by adding a new subparagraph (k) that outlines these limitations, ensuring they do not conflict with established environmental protections.

In addition to the new provisions, the bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining compliance with existing shoreland protection standards as outlined in RSA 483-B:9 and ensures that the new limitations do not override any environmental standards defined in RSA 489:2. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
