Adds to existing law to establish provisions allowing for multifamily residential housing developments in areas zoned for commercial use.

This legislation allows multifamily residential developments in commercial zones as a matter of right, subject to the same basic siting and design standards that apply to commercial uses. To enable housing near jobs, schools, services, and underutilized commercial corridors, the bill establishes clear approval processes and limits mandates that make infill housing economically infeasible.
