Adaptive Reuse Model Legislation
- Developed by: Metropolitan Abundance Project
- Description: "Housing is expensive or even illegal – bogged down by outdated zoning rules, discretionary review, and rigid parking mandates. The Adaptive Reuse Model Legislation would fix that. It gives developers a clear, ministerial path to turn eligible nonresidential buildings into homes, while giving local governments the tools to waive obsolete zoning barriers. The bill allows cities to adopt streamlined approval frameworks, limit fees to marginal impacts, remove new parking minimums, and offer incentives like tax abatements or expedited review. Since 2024, , , , and passed versions of adaptive reuse legislation."
