LD546

Establishes preapproved building types to streamline building permit applications and ensure affordable housing.

This resolve directs the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry to contract with a consultant to create preapproved building types for municipalities. These types aim to reduce the cost and time associated with processing building permit applications. Each preapproved building type must include units that can be rented at a cost not exceeding 30% of the area median income. The consultant must develop multiple design options for building components, reflecting local architectural styles.
