Relating to: allowing more than 35 percent of the area within a tax incremental district in the Village of Somers to be used for residential use. (FE)
AB 812 amends a state statute to allow up to 50% of a tax incremental district's area in the Village of Somers to be used for residential development, increasing the previous limit from 35%. This change directly affects developers, planners, and property owners within Somers' designated tax increment districts by expanding permissible residential use. The bill modifies the statutory definition of "mixed-use development" to specify this higher residential percentage only for districts in Somers, while maintaining the 35% limit elsewhere in the state.
