Introduced by: Richard H. Stuart | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Urban Development Areas. Makes several changes to the urban development area legislation. Developable acreage is redefined to exclude (i) parks, rights-of-way of arterial and collector streets, railways, and resource protection areas, and wetlands; (ii) land used by public utilities solely for utility services; (iii) public lands and facilities; (iv) land within a five-mile radius of a military base over which the United States enjoys exclusive federal jurisdiction; and (v) land designated by a branch of the armed forces of the United States as its overfly zone. The legislation also permits light industrial use within urban development areas and specifies that the governing body's authority to accept proffered conditions is not impaired by anything in this legislation. Localities required to amend their comprehensive plan in accordance with this legislation are given an additional year to do so.
