AL HB771

Amends Section 45-2-261.17 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to clarify that Baldwin County Commission authority does not conflict with Alabama Department of Health regulations or the Baldwin County Planning Commission's authority over subdivision development.

Prohibits Baldwin County Commission and Planning Commission from imposing new or additional front, side, rear, or wetland setback requirements on lots in previously approved subdivisions that would increase or make setback requirements more restrictive.

Establishes that subdivisions and lots approved under applicable regulations prior to new zoning regulations becoming effective are not subject to new or additional setback requirements and cannot be deemed nonconforming lots.

Exempts historic or preservation districts from the setback protection provisions, though those districts remain subject to other provisions of this code section.

Becomes effective immediately upon passage and approval by the Governor or upon otherwise becoming law.
