Relating to: the restrictiveness of shoreland zoning ordinances. (FE)

AB 1070 limits county and state agency regulations on shoreland property maintenance. It prohibits counties from requiring approvals, fees, or restrictions for repairing, replacing, or remodeling existing structures (without expanding their footprint) or for vertical expansions under specific conditions. The bill creates a new provision (59.692(1k)(ag)) allowing counties to charge fees for these activities, while repealing prior restrictions on such fees. It directly affects landowners with properties near shorelines who seek to maintain or repair existing structures without expanding them.
