AN ACT REVISING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING LAND USE APPEALS PROCESS.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
That section 8-30g of the general statutes be amended to: (1) Revise subsection (k) of said section 8-30g, exempting certain towns from the housing appeals procedure, to (A) eliminate the across-the-board ten per cent screen figure and to substitute a more flexible and realistic percentage calculated on a town-by-town basis, considering a town's total housing, single family housing stock, the existence of the infrastructure to accommodate more units in a smaller zone and the effect on designated historic districts, and (B) establish a more inclusive definition of accessory apartments; (2) determine housing costs with reference to figures specific to the town as opposed to a state or area median.
Statement of Purpose:
To make the affordable housing land use appeals process more equitable.
