MODERATE
This bill amends Indiana's subdivision control laws to require developers to use specific flood and precipitation data when planning new subdivisions. It also sets strict deadlines for local planning commissions to review and act on plat applications, with automatic approval if they don't respond within 60 days of a public hearing.
Scope change
The bill applies to all subdivisions of land in Indiana, including those previously exempt from certain notice and hearing requirements.
REQUIREMENT
Requires subdivision control ordinances to mandate use of FEMA 100-year flood maps and NOAA Precipitation-Frequency Atlas data for calculating storm water runoff.
TIMELINE
Mandates plan commissions meet with stakeholders within 30 days of receiving a plat application and must make a decision within 60 days after a public hearing.
ENFORCEMENT
Establishes that plats are automatically considered approved if the plan commission fails to make a written decision within 60 days after a public hearing.
DEFINITION
Clarifies that subdivision control ordinances cannot regulate condominiums already covered by IC 32-25.
