What’s in it

This bill affects the powers of cities and counties when enforcing zoning ordinances. The bill prohibits a city or county from adopting or enforcing an ordinance, regulation, or restriction that would prevent a nonconforming use of a manufactured or mobile home from continuing if the use was legal before adoption of such ordinance, regulation, or restriction unless, with some exceptions, a discontinuance is necessary for the safety of life or property, the nonconforming use is legally abandoned after a period of time as determined by ordinance has passed, if a replacement results in the overall nature and character of the present use being substantially or entirely different from the original lawful preexisting nonconforming use, or the replacement results in an obstruction to a shared driveway or shared sidewalk providing vehicular or pedestrian access to other homes and uses.
