A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
|
AN ACT
|
| |
|
|
relating to providing notice of certain proposed municipal zoning |
|
|
changes to a school district. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 211.007, Local Government Code, is |
|
|
amended by adding Subsections (c-1) and (c-2) to read as follows: |
|
|
(c-1) Before the 10th day before the hearing date, written |
|
|
notice of each public hearing before the zoning commission on a |
|
|
proposed change in a zoning classification affecting residential or |
|
|
multifamily zoning shall be sent to each school district in which |
|
|
the property for which the change in classification is proposed is |
|
|
located. The notice may be served by its deposit in the |
|
|
municipality, properly addressed with postage paid, in the United |
|
|
States mail. |
|
|
(c-2) Subsection (c-1) does not apply to a municipality the |
|
|
majority of which is located in a county with a population of |
|
|
100,000 or less, except that such a municipality must give notice |
|
|
under Subsection (c-1) to a school district that has territory in |
|
|
the municipality and requests the notice. For purposes of this |
|
|
subsection, if a school district makes a request for notice under |
|
|
Subsection (c-1), the municipality must give notice of each public |
|
|
hearing held following the request unless the school district |
|
|
requests that no further notices under Subsection (c-1) be given to |
|
|
the school district. |
|
|
SECTION 2. The changes in law made by this Act apply only to |
|
|
a proposal to change a municipal zoning classification made on or |
|
|
after the effective date of this Act. A proposal to change a |
|
|
municipal zoning classification made before the effective date of |
|
|
this Act is governed by the law in effect at the time the proposal |
|
|
was made, and the former law is continued in effect for that |
|
|
purpose. |
|
|
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2013. |
