clarify the procedure for petitioning a board of county commissioners for a change to the comprehensive plan or zoning ordinances.

Summary

The bill amends state law to spell out the exact steps a county board must follow when a petition seeks to change the comprehensive plan or zoning ordinances. A petition must be filed with the county auditor, the county planning commission must hold a public hearing and issue a recommendation within 45 days, and the board must then hold its own public hearing and act on the recommendation. The goal is to make the process more predictable and transparent for landowners, developers, and the public.
