An Act to promote Yes in God's Back Yard

HD 3252 allows religious organizations to build multifamily housing on their owned land without facing typical zoning restrictions. The bill specifies that such housing must meet density limits (e.g., up to 30 units per acre with 20% affordable units at ≤80% AMI), height (up to 4 stories/45 feet), setback, and parking requirements, while aligning with existing zoning if stricter. It directly affects religious organizations owning land, removing barriers to developing housing on their property. The bill also states such housing would generally be subject to property tax unless a municipality exempts it, and exempts it from additional development standards beyond state law.
