SB 1160 increases the notice requirements for municipal zoning changes. It requires municipalities to publish public hearing notices at least 30 days in advance (instead of the current 15 days) and to notify property owners within 1,500 feet of the affected area (up from 200 feet). The bill also mandates additional notice to school districts, charter schools, general hospitals, and public safety departments when zoning changes impact residential or multifamily areas. These changes aim to enhance transparency and community involvement in zoning decisions.
