Allow local governments to increase number of parcels from land divisions

SB 23 allows local governments to approve more land splits than state law currently permits. For the first 10 acres, owners can create up to 4 lots for one year, then up to 10 lots after that if the local government agrees. Larger parcels can be divided further if certain conditions are met, such as keeping a large portion intact or avoiding new driveways on main roads. The bill aims to give landowners and local governments more flexibility, potentially increasing housing options.
