Overview: HB 25-1093 - Limitations on Local Anti-Growth Land Use Policies
Status: Governor Signed
Introduced: January 27, 2025
Purpose and Intent: The bill aims to limit the ability of local governments to enact land use policies that restrict or inhibit new residential development. The goal is to promote more housing construction and address the state's housing shortage.
Key Provisions:
- Prohibits local governments from implementing growth control measures, such as caps on the number of building permits issued per year
- Requires municipalities to zone for higher-density residential development near transit hubs and major employment centers
- Limits the ability of local governments to downzone or reduce allowable residential densities
- Establishes a state-level appeals process for developers challenging local land use decisions
Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Homebuilders and developers will have more opportunities to construct new housing projects
- Local governments will have less control over land use and growth management policies
- Existing residents may see increased development in their communities, which could impact neighborhood character and infrastructure
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
- The bill has been signed into law by the governor
- The new state-level appeals process and zoning requirements will be implemented over the next 12-18 months
