CT HB05486

Amends Connecticut General Statutes Section 8-2 to prohibit zoning commissions from requiring special permits or special exceptions for the continuance of nonconforming uses, buildings, or structures.

Existing nonconforming uses, buildings, or structures that were legal before new zoning regulations took effect may continue without obtaining additional permits or exceptions.

Maintains existing protections that zoning regulations cannot prohibit the continuance of nonconforming uses, buildings, or structures, and now explicitly prevents requiring special permits for such continuance.

Effective October 1, 2016.
