The organization is opposing four bills now being considered by the Housing Committee:

House Bill 577 would mandate that municipalities allow one detached or attached accessory dwelling unit on single-family lots.

House Bill 685 would require that manufactured housing be allowed in residentially zoned areas.

House Bill 631 would mandate that multifamily or mixed-used developments be permitted in certain areas designated as urban by the U.S. Census, including Keene.

House Bill 382 would remove the authority of municipalities to regulate some parking requirements.

The N.H. Municipal Association is also opposing Senate Bill 84, which the Senate Commerce Committee unanimously passed Tuesday and sent to the full Senate. It would mandate ordinances to allow smaller lot sizes for single-family homes.
