Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding regulation of twin homes and duplexes.

HOUSING -- Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding regulation of twin homes and duplexes.

HOUSING

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Homeownership is growing increasingly out of reach for many residents due to inflation, artificial scarcity, and other economic factors. In order to decrease red tape and allow the market to further align development incentives with real demand, this legislation legalizes twin homes and duplexes on residential lots where single-family homes are already permitted. It prohibits covenants and local ordinances that ban or effectively block these forms of housing and establishes clear, objective approval standards.
