HB 2474: Transitional housing siting

Concerning compliance with siting requirements for transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, indoor emergency shelters, and indoor emergency housing.

Summary

  • Requires the Department of Commerce (Commerce) to facilitate the resolution of disputes between a city or code city and a project applicant or developer of permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, indoor emergency housing, or indoor emergency shelters.
  • Authorizes Commerce to issue a finding of noncompliance if dispute resolution is unsuccessful and the city or code city has denied a project permit or development agreement, or enacted a zoning ordinance or development regulations, that prevents the siting of permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, indoor emergency housing, or indoor emergency shelters.
  • Directs the state treasurer to withhold certain revenues from a city if Commerce issues a finding of noncompliance and the city or code city fails to issue a project permit or modify its zoning ordinance and development regulations.
