Board recommends removing one-year refiling wait to comply with new state law
Summary
Following passage of a state bill, the Planning Board recommended amending sections 17-620 and 17-1706 to remove the town’s one-year waiting period for refiling development applications, aligning the code with the state statute.
Planning staff told the board on Oct. 27 that recent state legislation requires removing waiting periods for refiling development applications. Staff cited House Bill 926 and recommended edits to UDO sections 17-620 and 17-1706 to eliminate the town’s one‑year refiling prohibition.
“House Bill 926 … prohibits the waiting periods for refiling development applications,” the planning staff member said, and the proposed edits strike the one-year requirement from the local code to ensure consistency with state law.
Board members moved, seconded and voted to find the proposed amendments consistent and to forward the revisions to the Town Council for action. The recommendation is advisory; the Town Council will consider final adoption to make the local code consistent with state law.
