SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

Permitted provisions in certain zoning ordinances. Allows localities whose entire geographic area is wholly or partially within an area designated as severe nonattainment for ozone to include provisions for the adoption of transportation infrastructure overlay districts to allow, either as a matter of right under applicable zoning regulations or with the approval of a special exception, special use permit, or rezoning application, the transfer of some or all specified development rights from property located outside the boundaries of a transportation infrastructure overlay district to property located within such overlay district. Where adopted, transportation infrastructure overlay districts shall be established to encourage development in areas of the locality where mass transit and other existing or planned transportation facilities or services are projected to best meet the levels of service specified for transportation in the comprehensive plan. Authority under this bill expires in localities 5 years after they are no longer in severe nonattainment for ozone.
