This amendment adds a new subsection (c) to W.S. 15-1-603 that imposes a three-fourths voting requirement for zoning changes involving specified sensitive uses when protested by property owners.
- Adds language indicating that the statute is being amended by creating a new subsection (c). (Page 1, line 7)
- Adds a carve-out to subsection (a) so that the existing protest requirements apply only when the proposed change does not involve the sensitive uses enumerated in new subsection (c). (Page 1, line 12)
- Creates new subsection (c) establishing a separate protest mechanism for zoning changes involving adult-oriented businesses, bars, gaming, adult entertainment, pornography, casinos, transitional housing, homeless shelters, substance abuse treatment centers, nuclear facilities, correctional facilities, or solid waste facilities. A protest signed by owners of 20% or more of affected or adjacent property (within 140 feet) requires a three-fourths vote of the governing body for the change to be effective. (Page 2, after line 8)
