Amends TCA Title 13, Chapter 7.

This bill requires a property owner's consent to amendments to a county or city zoning ordinance that affects the property owner's property. <br /> <br /> Present law requires the chief legislative body to hold a public hearing on a zoning amendment and to publish in a newspaper the time and place of the hearing. This bill additionally requires the governing body of a county or city to provide notice by certified mail directly to each property owner whose property is the subject of a proposed zoning amendment that changes the designation of the zoning district, other than an overlay district that is applicable to the property. A governing body may provide notice by first class mail if the notice would be required for more than 100 individual property owners. Notice is not required for any property owner that requested the rezoning or any owner with actual knowledge of the proposed amendment. <br /> <br />
