SB 1292 Adequate public facilities.

Introduced by: Leslie L. Byrne | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Adequate public facilities. Allows any locality 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. The bill specifies that any appraisal of property subject to a deferral under the bill shall reflect the effect of such deferral on the fair market value of the property. A locality may also consider the adequacy of public facilities in the preparation of its zoning ordinance. Also, the purposes of zoning ordinances are amended to include protection against undue rate of development in relation to existing or available public facilities.
