Amends TCA Title 13, Chapter 7, Part 4.
Tennessee SB0340 amends the Tennessee Code Annotated to exempt privately owned properties built after 1899 and located in tourism development zones from the authority of historic zoning commissions regarding non-historic aspects of projects. This bill affects property owners in these zones by allowing them to proceed with construction, alteration, or demolition without needing to apply to a historic zoning commission for non-historic elements. Key provisions include the requirement for a good faith affidavit and an architect's opinion to affirm the project's compliance with the exemption, as well as the local fire marshal's authority to override historic zoning commission decisions related to life or safety issues.
