Zoning - As introduced, removes requirement that a structure rebuilt on a site must conform to the zoning regulations existing at the time of the new construction. - Amends TCA Title 13, Chapter 7.

SB 1676 would have amended Tennessee zoning law by removing the requirement that rebuilt structures must conform to current zoning regulations. Instead, rebuilding would have followed the zoning rules in effect when the original structure was built, affecting property owners after losses like fire or demolition. The bill deleted specific language from two sections of Tennessee’s zoning code (TCA Title 13, Chapter 7) related to construction requirements. However, the bill was withdrawn on the day it was filed and never became law.
