HB 1897 Aquaculture; protection of use in an agricultural zone.
Introduced by: Nicholas J. Freitas | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Zoning; aquaculture in agricultural zone; preexisting use. Provides that any aquaculture use that was established on property that was zoned as an agricultural district at the time, but later was rezoned to disallow agriculture, is a valid nonconforming use of the property. The bill also amends a 2014 Act of Assembly that expanded the definition of agricultural products to provide that the act was declaratory of existing law.
