Introduced by: Robert G. Marshall | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Adequate public facilities. Allows any locality with a population of at least 55,000 and an annual growth rate of at least 1 percent for 3 of the previous 5 years to adopt provisions in its subdivision ordinance for deferring the approval of subdivision plats or site plans when it determines that existing schools, roads, public safety, sewer or water facilities are inadequate to support the proposed development. Such deferrals cannot extend beyond 12 years, and applicants are entitled to approval of subdivision plats during the deferral period at the lowest density permitted in the locality for any zoning district. This bill deems infrastructure inadequate if at the time of plat or plan submission it would cost the locality more than $100,000 to provide the infrastructure necessary to serve the proposed development.
