HB 7372 Rhode Island House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT RELATING TO TOWNS AND CITIES -- ZONING ORDINANCES

HB 7372 allows the town of Tiverton to establish its own density bonuses for development projects based on the town's existing zoning regulations. This bill directly affects Tiverton's local land use planning by giving the town authority to determine how much additional building space developers can receive as incentives. The key provision removes a state-level restriction, enabling Tiverton to tailor density bonus rules to its specific zoning framework. This change supports local control over housing and development policies within the town's designated zones.
