Committee accepts amendment to extend zoning appeal period to 45 days and forwards SB 78 as amended
Summary
Committee approved an amendment changing the Zoning Board of Adjustment appeal filing period from 30 days to 45 days and then recommended SB 78 ought to pass as amended (18-0).
The committee voted to adopt an amendment to Senate Bill 78 that extends the filing period for appeals to a zoning board of adjustment from 30 to 45 days, then voted unanimously (18-0) to recommend the bill "ought to pass" as amended.
Representative Germana moved the amendment to change the statutory filing window to 45 days; Representative Walker seconded. Supporters, including Representative Elward, said the longer timeframe better accommodates appellants who may need to assemble evidence or retain counsel.
After the amendment was accepted by roll call, the committee considered the bill as amended and voted 18-0 to recommend passage. The chair indicated the bill, as amended, would be placed on the consent calendar for floor action.
