Amends provisions governing changes made to local zoning regulations in certain home rule cities
HB 2847 changes how certain cities can adjust zoning rules. It requires a two-thirds vote of a city council to approve zoning changes if 30% of landowners protest (covering either the affected land area or a 185-foot buffer zone). The bill also bans cities from allowing public referendums or votes to challenge zoning changes. This applies only to home rule cities located in counties with 260,000-300,000 residents.
