AI Summary

  • Establishes that private property rights and their regulation are matters of statewide concern, preempting further municipal regulation on individually owned single-family lots.

  • Prohibits municipalities from adopting regulations that limit building materials (unless violating building codes), impose aesthetic design requirements violating the First Amendment, or restrict use and placement of personal property.

  • Prevents municipalities from limiting food production on property, requiring parking design specifications, or mandating features property owners cannot afford or do not want.

  • Exempts regulations that are objective and strictly necessary to protect public health and safety or prevent significant externalities (noise, light, air pollution) through the least restrictive means.

  • Defines "objective" as involving no personal judgment and being uniformly verifiable by external benchmarks, and "significant externality" as nontrivial negative impacts beyond property lines, excluding subjective preferences.
