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.
SB 2322 shortens the required public notice period for zoning hearings in Tennessee from 21 to 14 calendar days. This change directly affects local governments (like city councils or county commissions) that must notify the public before holding hearings to adopt or amend zoning ordinances. The bill amends specific sections of Tennessee law (including Title 13) to implement this reduced notice period. The key provision is a concrete policy change to the timing requirement for public engagement on zoning decisions.
