Requires local boards and the division of housing and community renewal to submit certain residential housing and zoning information to the department of state annually; requires such information to be published by the department of state on its website.
Impact
This bill primarily impacts the regulatory framework surrounding housing production within New York State. By imposing these reporting requirements on local boards, S00919 seeks to centralize information about housing and zoning, potentially leading to more informed state-level decision-making regarding community development and resource allocation. Communities with populations under 5,000 are exempt from these requirements, aimed at reducing the burden on smaller jurisdictions that may lack the capacity to comply with such regulations.
Summary
S00919, introduced in the New York Senate, aims to enhance transparency and accountability in housing production by requiring local boards to report specific residential housing and zoning information to the Department of State. This new section added to the executive law mandates that local boards submit an annual report detailing data such as addresses of housing sites, total dwelling units, and any relevant governmental subsidies. The Department of State is then required to make this information publicly available on its website, thus promoting greater awareness of housing development activities across municipalities.
Contention
Notable points of contention around S00919 include concerns regarding the compliance burden placed on local governments, specifically those with limited resources. Critics may argue that mandating detailed reporting could strain local boards' operational capacities, especially in smaller municipalities. Proponents, however, assert that the benefits of increased transparency and improved planning oversight far outweigh these challenges, emphasizing a need for better data to support housing policies and community needs.
