Relating to notice of changes to municipal zoning regulations and boundaries.

SB 1160 modifies Texas municipal zoning notice requirements. It requires municipalities to provide written notice of zoning changes 15 days before hearings (reducing the prior 30-day window), publish notices in specific newspapers (with minimum circulation), and send direct mail notices to property owners within 1,500 feet of proposed changes. The bill also mandates that zoning changes affecting residential areas must notify nearby schools, hospitals, fire departments, and police departments. Property owners representing 20% of affected land can protest changes, requiring a 3/4 vote for approval. This bill directly affects municipalities, property owners, and local institutions by tightening transparency rules for zoning adjustments.
