51 added · 51 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent amendments to Bill HB 103 include the removal of references to the act being called the "Family Heritage Open Space Protection Act" and clarify the regulatory aspects regarding nonbuilding lots. Specifically, the bill allows for the creation of two nonbuilding lots without needing to go through a subdivision and development plan, as long as they obtain a waiver form from the Department of Environmental Protection. These changes streamline the process for creating nonbuilding lots and aim to promote land use flexibility, potentially encouraging the preservation of open spaces within communities.
