Counties must now send written notice to township supervisors at least ten days before holding a public hearing on any conditional use application or appeal for property in that township. This gives township supervisors advance notice so they can participate in or prepare comments on land-use decisions affecting their areas.
This amendment fundamentally rewrote the bill: instead of requiring applicants seeking conditional use permits for infrastructure-burdening projects to notify authorities 45 days in advance and participate in haul road agreement hearings, it now simply requires counties to notify township supervisors of conditional use applications and appeals at least ten days before hearings. The change NARROWS the bill's scope from regulating applicant obligations around infrastructure impacts to a basic notification requirement for local supervisors.
The amendment removed a "hog house" notice that had extensively amended the bill, restoring it to its original intent to require counties to notify township supervisors of conditional use applications and appeals at least ten days before hearings. This change reflects the bill's passage through the legislative process, converting it from the engrossed version back to its enrolled form without altering the substantive requirement itself.
