This usurps local control by requiring a Town to consider situations that are contrary to their Master Plan.

With "... 10 percent most densely built properties ..." clause, this screws homeowners within 1000ft of existing cluster development, planned unit development, or village plan alternative subdivision ... by targeting his other neighbors for increase redevelopment. He may soon be surrounded by densified redevelopment, robbing him of property value and quality of life.

I am opposed to this bill because it would allow the density of every p;art of a community to approach the maximum density anywhere as the 1000-foot distance from the densest area keeps moving out. Should downtown density or an ancient zoning mistake apply everywhere? There is no requirement that existing infrastructure support that density. This requires serious revision, maybe to allow the same density as the least dense 30% on the same street.
