AI summary County leaders would gain the power to set rules about how far buildings must be from public roads. These new rules would apply to all types of property, including farms and agricultural buildings. Currently, these rules are not allowed to affect farmhouses or barns used for farming.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to the authority of a county to adopt set-back requirements. Under current law, a county board of supervisors may by ordinance regulate certain physical characteristics of property located in the county but outside the corporate limits of a city. Such an ordinance does not apply to land, farm houses, farm barns, farm outbuildings, or other buildings or structures that are primarily adapted, by reason of nature and area, for use for agricultural purposes while so used. The bill authorizes a county board of supervisors to adopt an ordinance that establishes a building or structure set-back requirement of up to feet from a public right-of-way regardless of the use of any affected property.
