OFA Fiscal Note
State Impact: None
Municipal Impact: See Below
The bill 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 bill'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 bill.
The bill also establishes the Commission on Connecticut's
Development and Future and requires it to complete a report
regarding planning issues in the State. The bill specifies that the
Commission members may not receive compensation except for
necessary expenses resulting from their duties.
Other provisions of the bill have no fiscal impact to municipalities
as they do not change the cost of administrating any local zoning 2021HB-06107-R01-FN.DOCX Page 2 of 2
regulation.
House "A" strikes the underlying bill and results in the above
identified fiscal impact.
The Out Years
The ongoing above identified fiscal impact would continue into the
future subject to the fee schedules adopted by municipalities.
