Live Local preemption on four-acre site near bowling alley
Summary
A state affordable-housing law (Live Local) lets a four-acre property near the bowling alley build up to 30 units per acre with extra height and less parking — overriding local zoning for those items. It will be approved administratively with no public hearing, so the LPA and the public won't see it.
