SB 1297 increases the notification timeframe of county zoning violation hearings from five to 30 days prior to the hearing and removes the requirement that the notice be personally served to the alleged zoning violator.
Zoning ordinances are adopted by all counties and must provide for the enforcement of the ordinance within a zoned territory. Current statute (A.R.S. 11-808) stipulates that counties may establish the position of county zoning inspector and deputy inspectors to enforce zoning regulations. Statute also states if a county establishes civil penalties for zoning violations, then the county may appoint hearing officers to hear and determine the violations. When a zoning inspector reports a zoning violation to the hearing officer, the officer is required to hold a hearing on the matter and provide notice of the hearing to the alleged violator. Currently, notice must be personally served on the alleged violator at least five days before the hearing.
· Removes the requirement that notice of a county zoning violation hearing be personally served on the alleged violator and states that notice must be served by certified mail.
· Increases the notification timeframe of a county zoning violation hearing from five to 30 days prior to the hearing.
· Makes other technical and conforming changes.
