AN ACT CONCERNING INCLUSION OF CERTAIN MOBILE HOMES IN THE CALCULATION OF THE TEN PER CENT THRESHOLD FOR THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING APPEALS PROCEDURE EXEMPTION.

HB 5039 expands the definition of housing units counted toward the 10% threshold for exempting developments from affordable housing appeals procedures. It specifically includes non-deed-restricted mobile manufactured homes that meet income criteria (purchasable by households earning ≤80% of median area income). This change directly affects mobile home owners and developers of such properties, as these units will now be included in the exemption calculation. The bill modifies how local governments assess whether a project triggers affordable housing requirements, without creating new housing mandates.
