Local government actions related to comprehensiveplans, local planning commissions, subdivision plats and site plans,and zoning ordinances; approval process. Makes several changesto local government land use approval processes, including (i) prohibiting use of the comprehensive plan as the basis, in whole or in part,for the disapproval of a site plan that is otherwise in conformitywith duly adopted standards, ordinances, and statutes and (ii) allowing automatic approval of certain land use applications rather than aright to petition the circuit court, as provided under current law,if a locality does not approve or disapprove the application withinthe required timeframe. The bill also reduces from 12 months to fourmonths the time within which a locality must initially act upon certainproposed zoning ordinance amendments and requires a locality to acton all such proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance or map thatit has previously disapproved within 45 days after an amended proposalhas been resubmitted for approval.
