SUMMARY
Synopsis
of SPAC Amendment
Senate Public Affairs Amendments to Senate Bill 411 are as
follows: Item 1 is a technical correction;
Items 2 and 3 redefine a “municipality” for the purposes of this bill to mean
“class A county having a valuation over $3.7 billion but less than $5 billion
and a population over 128,000 but less than 140,000.” According to net taxable values used for rate
setting for 2002 property tax year (Local Government Division of the Department
of Finance and Administration) and according to the U.S. Department of
Commerce, Bureau of the Census 2001,
Synopsis
of Original Bill
Senate Bill 411 amends the Municipal Code to
require certain municipalities and class A counties to prepare ordinance impact
studies every five years to determine how land use ordinances, master plans and
other regulations affect the housing industry.
Significant
Issues
Senate Bill 411 adds new sections to the
Municipal Code requiring that class A counties and municipalities with
populations greater than 60,000 publish an impact study every five years to include
the cumulative effect of land use ordinances, master plans, and other
regulations on the housing industry.
Class A counties, municipalities of a population of 100,000 or more,
include Bernalillo, Dona Ana,
Senate Bill 411 requires municipalities with
populations greater than 60,000 and class A counties to appoint committees to
determine the requirements of the ordinance impact study
The committees will be comprised of representatives
of builders and contractors, municipal land use staff, homeowners, affordable
housing specialists, realtors, appraisers, financial institutions,
environmental organizations and the Department of Finance and Administration.
The proposed new sections of the Municipal Code
are repealed effective
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The governmental
entities impacted by Senate Bill 411 will bear the costs of the ordinance impact
studies every five years. The personnel
or consulting costs of the study are unknown at this time.
OTHER SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES
According to MFA,
Senate Bill 411 should provide an objective view of housing in the affected
communities and an opportunity for community leaders to “right” the course of
housing, as perceived by the required studies.
