HB05396

Connecticut HB05396 establishes criteria for affordable housing development on land owned by religious organizations.

Connecticut HB05396 defines "religious organization affordable housing development" as a project on property owned by a religious organization for less than three years. The bill outlines specific conditions for such developments, including proximity to oil or natural gas facilities, lack of water or sewerage infrastructure, and use as a cemetery. It exempts developments that would require the demolition of historic properties listed in the National or State Register of Historic Places. The bill mandates a summary review process for applications, requiring a decision within ninety days.
