AN ACT ESTABLISHING AN EXEMPTION FROM THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING APPEALS PROCEDURE FOR A MUNICIPALITY THAT CONTAINS AN AQUIFER PROTECTION AREA.
HB 5365 exempts municipalities containing aquifer protection areas from the affordable housing appeals procedure. This means towns with such groundwater protection zones will not need to follow the standard review process for housing development approvals. The bill amends Section 8-30g of the general statutes to automatically include these municipalities in the exemption, removing a procedural step for local housing projects in protected areas.
