2016 Senate Bill 1060

Ban clamping down on “grandfathered” rental property with zoning

Introduced in the Senate

Sept. 7, 2016

Introduced by Sen. Dale Zorn (R-17)

To establish that the owner of a residential rental property that is considered a “nonconforming use” under a local zoning ordinance, but which was “grandfathered” because it was there before the ordinance was enacted, may make improvements that do not expand the “footprint” or height of the unit, or increase the maximum legal or licensed occupancy of the property. Local officials would be prohibited from revoking or altering a residential rental license, certificate, or approval because the property is non-conforming.
