A.G. File No. 2006-025

Due Process for Residents With Land Use or Property Issues

April 07, 2006

 


This measure increases local agency notification requirements regarding land use matters. Specifically, if a property owner notifies a local agency that he or she would like to testify regarding a land use matter, the local agency must send the property owner notice of the time and date of the public hearing at which he or she may testify. The notification must be sent by certified mail at least 20 days in advance of the hearing, but no more than 180 days after the property owner requests the right to testify. Pending this hearing, the local agency may not dispose of the land use matter.
