Staff warns Planning Commission that recent state laws limit county-initiated land‑use changes for RVs and plats

Planning staff told the Putnam County Planning Commission on Oct. 1, 2025, that Senate Bill 180 limits county‑initiated, more‑restrictive land‑use regulations (including ordinances affecting recreational vehicles) for counties named in recent emergency declarations, and that Senate Bill 784 shifts many plat approvals to administrative review, reducing routine public hearings for plats that do not dedicate infrastructure.
