AN ACT INCLUDING ACCESSORY APARTMENTS IN THE CALCULATION OF THE THRESHOLD FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING APPEALS PROCEDURE.

HB 6122 amends a state law to include accessory apartments (like in-law suites or converted garages) in the calculation of a 10% threshold. This change means developers must count these units when determining if a project qualifies for exemption from the affordable housing appeals process. The bill directly affects property developers and builders of multi-unit housing projects that include accessory apartments. Currently, such units were excluded from this calculation, but the bill requires them to be included, potentially increasing affordable housing requirements for qualifying projects.
