This bill aims to amend existing zoning ordinances by prohibiting the inclusion of minimum lot size requirements for parcels or lots designated for accessory dwelling units. Specifically, it states that zoning ordinances may not impose a minimum lot size for these units that exceeds the minimum lot size applicable to other single-family dwellings or townhouses within the same zoning district.
The intent of this legislation is to enhance flexibility in housing options by removing restrictive lot size regulations that could hinder the development of accessory dwelling units. By doing so, the bill seeks to promote more efficient land use and increase the availability of affordable housing options within municipalities.
