Senate Bill 214 Summary

• Establishes a three-year time limit for entities that file transportation corridor official maps to either approve building permits/subdivision applications or initiate property acquisition proceedings.

• Allows property owners to submit a corridor map determination request containing only basic information: owner name, street address, parcel number, vicinity map, sketch of structures, and description of proposed improvements.

• Permits property to be treated as unencumbered and free of corridor restrictions if the entity fails to approve the application or begin acquisition within the three-year period.

• Clarifies that corridor map determination submittals are distinct from formal building permit applications or subdivision plat approvals and are not subject to standard permit delays.

• Becomes effective December 1, 2011, and applies to all transportation corridor official maps filed on or after that date.
