The amendment strikes the underlying bill and its associated fiscal
impact.
The amendment makes a variety of changes regarding municipal
planning and zoning enforcement and administration. There is a
potential revenue gain to municipalities by allowing them to assess
technical consultant fees on certain land use projects. Any revenue gain
would vary based on the schedule adopted by a municipality.
This revenue gain is potentially offset by a potential revenue loss
associated with the amendment's prohibition on setting different sets of
fees on applications for various types of residential housing projects.
Any revenue loss would only occur if a municipality was currently
assessing two sets of fees and chose to lower the higher fees as a result
of the amendment.
The amendment also establishes the Commission on Connecticut's
Development and Future and requires it to complete a report regarding
planning issues in the State. The amendment specifies that the
Commission members may not receive compensation except for
necessary expenses resulting from their duties. 2021HB-06107-R00LCO08977-FNA.DOCX Page 2 of 2
Other provisions of the amendment have no fiscal impact to
municipalities as they do not change the cost of administrating any local
zoning regulation.
