SUMMARY
Synopsis
of Bill
Senate Bill 389 amends
subdivision regulations to require impact studies before approval of subdivision
and land use provisions.
Significant
Issues
Senate Bill 389 requires the planning authority
of a governmental entity to make a factual finding that states what the impact
of a proposed regulation, master plan or zoning will have on the cost of
construction and the availability and pricing of housing within the areas where
the regulation will be in effect. The
bill requires that the factual finding be written and become a part of the
enactment of the regulation and that it be based on the information deemed
appropriate by the authority. The bill
further requires that a county plan and any changes to a plan must expressly
consider and adopt a factual finding concerning the effect of the plan on the
estimated increase or decrease in housing construction costs and the
availability and pricing of housing within the county.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
It is uncertain what
the fiscal impact would be to municipalities and counties who engage in
planning, zoning and subdivision regulations or what the fiscal impact would be
to land developers or other users of the land.
