Committee approves streamlined process for county zoning text amendments
Summary
Senate Bill 175, which establishes a streamlined process for county zoning text amendments and includes clarifying amendments to the bill’s title and language, passed the Senate Local Government Committee by voice vote.
The Senate Local Government Committee passed Senate Bill 175 as amended, a measure that creates a streamlined process for county zoning text amendments.
A committee member moved Amendment 1 to SB175 to clarify the bill title and make a specific-to-general description change on page 2; the sponsor said the amendment reflected issues raised in the hearing and supported the revision. Committee members asked for a refresher on the bill; the chair and sponsor explained the bill provides a streamlined process for text amendments to county zoning ordinances and the amendment tightens language in the title and the description.
The amendment and the bill both passed by voice vote. Committee members indicated the change was favorable to the sponsor and would help county planning processes.
Next steps: SB175 passed committee and will advance according to the Senate calendar.
