Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (H-2) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that potentially narrows the "grandfathering" requirement of local zoning laws by only allowing pre-existing uses that are the "exact" same use. The substitue also revises a number of details that do not change the substance of the bill as previously described.
The substitute passed by voice vote
Amendment offered
by
To eliminate a potential narrowing of the "grandfathering" requirement of local zoning laws. These allow pre-existing uses of a property to continue even if they would be nonconforming under a new zoning ordinance. The revised version of the bill would only allow this for the "exact" same use. "Exact" is not defined in the bill.
