Summary

The bill changes Kentucky law so that subdivision plats and development plans must be approved using clear, objective criteria applied automatically by officials. Discretion is allowed only when an applicant requests a variance or when strict application would threaten public health, safety, or welfare. It also confirms that public hearings and comments may still be part of the approval process.
