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.
The engrossed version completely rewrites the bill from a complex scheme requiring applicants to notify authorities 45 days before conditional use permit applications and undergo hearings about haul road agreements, to a simple requirement that counties notify township supervisors in writing at least ten days before the board of adjustment holds a hearing on any conditional use application or appeal. This NARROWS and SIMPLIFIES the bill's focus from regulating applicant conduct regarding public infrastructure impacts to ensuring basic notice to township officials.
The amendment is the final enrollment of the bill into its official legislative form; the substantive requirement that counties notify township supervisors of conditional use applications and appeals at least ten days before public hearings remains unchanged, but the hoghouse warning and formatting elements were removed as part of the standard enrollment process.
