Zoning - As introduced, reduces from 21 to 14 calendar days, the duration of the notice that a chief governing body must provide to the public before holding a public hearing to adopt a zoning ordinance or amendment. - Amends TCA Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 13 and Title 67.
HB 2587 would reduce the required notice period for public hearings on zoning ordinances or amendments from 21 to 14 calendar days. This change directly affects all local governments in Tennessee that adopt or amend zoning rules, requiring them to notify the public 7 days sooner. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated sections related to property development to implement this shorter notice period. The policy change only modifies the timing of public notice, without altering zoning content or requirements.
