Item 2
Bill Tracking, Additional Documents Chamber Status

Amend the bill by striking out everything after the enacting clause and before the summary and inserting the following:

Sec. 1. 12 MRSA §685-B, sub-§7-B  is enacted to read:

7-B Presumption of nonconforming uses and nonconforming structures.   If a person demonstrates that a use or structure that does not conform with district standards has existed for at least 30 years, there is a rebuttable presumption that the use is a nonconforming use or that the structure is a nonconforming structure.

SUMMARY

This amendment replaces the bill and provides that if a person demonstrates that a use or structure that does not conform with Maine Land Use Planning Commission district standards has existed for at least 30 years, there is a rebuttable presumption that the use or structure is a nonconforming use or nonconforming structure, which is a use or structure that lawfully existed when district regulations were adopted but that does not currently conform.
