HCS SB 809 -- MUNICIPAL ZONING

SPONSOR:  Graham (Baker, 25)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Local Government by a vote of 14 to 0.

This bill allows cities, towns, and villages to adopt by
reference the zoning regulations of the county instead of
adopting their own municipal regulations through the passage of
an ordinance.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2007, FY 2008, and
FY 2009.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the bill will save
municipalities money by allowing them to utilize county staff
already familiar with the zoning regulations and procedures.

Testifying for the bill were Senator Graham; Missouri Municipal
League; Boone County; and Missouri Chapter, American Planning
Association.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
