Bill Summary · SF 3418

Overview: SF 3418 - Certain cities enactment of zoning changes related to residential density and permitted uses requirement provision and certain written instruments relating to real estate prohibition provision
Status: Referred to State and Local Government
Introduced: April 23, 2025

Purpose and Intent: This bill imposes new requirements on certain cities when making zoning changes related to residential density and permitted uses. It also prohibits certain written instruments from restricting the use of real estate.

Key Provisions:
- Requires cities with populations over 10,000 to hold a public hearing and provide written notice before enacting zoning changes that:
- Increase or decrease residential density
- Alter permitted uses in residential zones
- Prohibits written instruments (e.g. deed restrictions, covenants) from restricting the use of real estate in ways that conflict with local zoning laws

Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Cities over 10,000 population, which must follow new procedural requirements for zoning changes
- Real estate developers, homeowners, and other property owners, who would have more flexibility in how they use their land
- Residents of affected cities, who may have more opportunities for public input on zoning decisions

Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
- The bill has been referred to the State and Local Government committee
- If enacted, the new zoning change requirements and real estate use restrictions would take effect 90 days after the bill becomes law
