The bill modifies the purpose statement for local zoning authority by removing references to overcrowding and congestion while adding language about land development and transportation options.

  • 62.23(7)(c)

    to prevent the overcrowding of land; to avoid undue concentration of population; → to ensure that land is developed in a manner that supports healthy, livable communities; to foster the development of a range of housing types;

    This change emphasizes community health, diverse housing options, and responsible land development instead of focusing solely on overcrowding and population density.

  • 62.23(7)(c)

    to lessen congestion in the streets; → to advance complete streets that prioritize safety, comfort, and accessibility for pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders, and motorists alike;

    This modifies the focus from just reducing street congestion to promoting safer, more accessible transportation options for all modes of travel.
