Died when the session ended · The 2026 session adjourned on May 3, 2026, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

5, as a part of an ordinance changing land from one zoning district to another zoning district or an ordinance approving a site development plan, a city council may impose conditions on a property owner in addition to existing regulations if the additional conditions have been agreed to in writing by the property owner before the public hearing required or adjournment of the hearing. The conditions must be reasonable and imposed to satisfy public needs that are directly caused by the requested change.
