Summary
This bill, for the Land Grant Committee, takes the responsibility for approving a comprehensive zoning plan for a land grant-merced away from the Local Government Division of the Department of Finance and Administration, and places that responsibility with the land grant-merced’s board of trustees. It also removes the DFA’s responsibility for arbitrating zoning conflicts between land grants-mercedes and neighboring municipalities and counties.
A possible benefit of this bill might be greater control over zoning issues by a land grant-merced’s board and greater local autonomy.
