Zoning - As introduced, prohibits local governments or planning commissions from requiring more than one means of ingress and egress into a proposed subdivision unless the proposed subdivision has at least 70 residential dwellings. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7 and Title 13.

SB 785 limits local governments in Tennessee from requiring more than one entrance or exit for new housing subdivisions unless they contain at least 70 homes. It directly affects subdivision developers (especially for smaller projects) and local planning commissions, cities, and counties that previously could mandate multiple access points. The bill prohibits these local entities from enforcing such requirements for subdivisions with fewer than 70 residential units, making any conflicting rule void. It amends Tennessee zoning codes (Titles 4, 5, 6, 7, and 13) to establish this statewide standard. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, applying to new or amended planning regulations after that date.
