Introduced by: Gladys B. Keating | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Downzoning. Sets out provisions related to local government downzonings. Currently, the validity of downzonings is determined by case law. The provisions of this bill closely follow previous court holdings with the exception of that portion of subsection C which states that an amendment to a locality's comprehensive plan which significantly (i) changes the projected use or (ii) lessens the projected intensity or density of a parcel shall be deemed a change in circumstances which substantially affects the public health, safety or welfare of the neighborhood. To date, the courts have not held that such comprehensive plan amendments will qualify as a change in circumstances.
