An act relating to land use, housing, and brownfields

S 133 streamlines housing development by modifying municipal zoning rules to allow additional dwelling units on single parcels and requiring industrial zones converted to residential to accommodate at least five units per acre. It clarifies "served by municipal sewer and water infrastructure" to identify areas where housing expansions are permitted, excluding flood zones and certain protected areas. The bill mandates reports by 2026 on inclusionary zoning tools and minimal construction design standards to simplify permitting. It also exempts small sawmills (producing ≤3.5 million board feet annually) from certain permit requirements and updates Act 250 land use planning processes.
