allowing high-density residential development on land zoned for commercial use.

SB 90 would allow developers to build high-density residential housing (like apartment complexes) on land currently zoned exclusively for commercial uses, such as retail stores or offices. This change would directly affect property owners in commercial zones, developers seeking to build housing, and residents in those areas who might see new housing options. The key provision modifies zoning regulations to permit residential development in zones previously restricted to business use, without requiring separate land-use approvals. The bill was referred to committees but was recently deemed "Inexpedient to Legislate" by a committee vote, halting further progress.
