Bill Summary

Relative to zoning variances. Municipalities and Regional Government.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to clarify the timeline for exercising rights granted through a zoning variance. It states that if the rights authorized by a variance are not exercised within one year of the date the variance was granted, the rights will lapse. However, the permit granting authority can, at its discretion, extend the time period for exercising the rights by up to six months if the grantee applies for an extension before the one-year period expires. If the authority does not grant the extension within 30 days, the rights can only be reestablished after a new notice and hearing process.
