An infill project is defined by size, setting, and prior use of the land

The document says “meansWho acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 206 in the PDF
What the document says

“(C) is located on a site of previously disturbed land of not more than 5 acres and substantially surrounded by residential or commercial development; (D) will repurpose a vacant or underutilized parcel of land, or a dilapidated or abandoned structure; and (E) will serve a residential or commercial purpose.”

To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 206

The section defines an infill project as one inside the limits of a municipality, adequately served by existing utilities and public services, on no more than 5 acres of previously disturbed land largely surrounded by other development, that reuses vacant or underused land or a run-down or abandoned building, and that will serve a residential or commercial purpose.

What the document actually says

“(C) is located on a site of previously disturbed land of not more than 5 acres and substantially surrounded by residential or commercial development; (D) will repurpose a vacant or underutilized parcel of land, or a dilapidated or abandoned structure; and (E) will serve a residential or commercial purpose.”

To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 206
That sentence, in plain words

The land must already have been built on or dug up. It can be five acres or less. Other buildings must stand around it. The project must reuse empty land or a run-down building and serve homes or shops.

What this is about

Infill means filling a gap in a built-up place. The definition sets the reach of a later rule. A project that fails any part of the test is not covered.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
