AN ACT relating to planning and zoning.

Create a new section of KRS 100.401 to 100.419 to specify that if a land use development plan or subdivision plan is for a proposed development adjacent to a county not part of the planning unit and the development would have a substantial impact on the infrastructure of that county, then the planning unit shall require as a binding element of the plan application an agreement from the other county approving the plan.

Beta

This bill would require local planning units to obtain written approval from a neighboring county before finalizing development plans for projects that would significantly impact that neighboring county's infrastructure, such as roads or utilities. It adds a new requirement to Kentucky's existing planning and zoning laws to ensure nearby counties have a formal say when development on their border affects them. Who it may affect: local planning and zoning boards, county governments, and real estate developers working on projects near county lines.
