Introduced Text

Pennsylvania SB1239 amends zoning laws to exempt certain multifamily, mixed-use, and adaptive reuse developments from specific restrictions.

Pennsylvania SB1239 amends the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code to exempt multifamily, mixed-use, and adaptive reuse developments from certain zoning restrictions. These developments are exempt from minimum or maximum residential density requirements, building height limits, mandatory setbacks, lot size or coverage restrictions, mandatory walls or fences, and parking space requirements. The bill also allows for the approval of developments in nonresidential zones if the applicant has received a will-serve letter from both a municipal water system and a municipal sewer system.
