AI Summary

  • Creates the "Infill Redevelopment Act" requiring local governments to permit residential development on environmentally impacted land parcels of at least 5 acres that are adjacent to residentially-zoned property

  • Applies only to counties with populations over 1.475 million and at least 15 municipalities, excluding agricultural land, public parks, land outside urban growth boundaries, and property near military installations

  • Limits residential density to the average of adjacent zoning districts or 25 dwelling units per acre, whichever is lower, and requires a 20-foot buffer when qualifying parcels border single-family homes or townhouses on all sides

  • Requires developers converting recreational facilities to pay double the parks impact fees and provide adjacent property owners a 90-day option to purchase the recreational land at a capped price to maintain as open space

  • Mandates administrative approval of qualifying development applications without governing body action and preempts local laws that would restrict development below the authorized density and intensity
