Urge House Representatives to OPPOSE CS/CS/HB 7103 – Property Development 
CS/CS/HB 7103 ( Fischer ) is a bill relating to property development that includes several provisions of concern to cities.

CS/CS/HB 7103 will be considered by the full House of Representatives tomorrow, Thursday, April 25. 
CS/CS/HB 7103 gives the keys to the city to developers at the expense of taxpayers. Please contact your House Representatives and urge them to vote NO on CS/CS/HB 7103.

Issues of concern in CS/CS/HB 7103:

Inclusionary Ordinances
The bill prohibits cities and counties from using inclusionary zoning to develop affordable and workforce housing. Inclusionary zoning is the practice of requiring that some large developments include a variety of housing types and homes at a range of prices, including housing that is affordable.

Impact Fees/Credits
The bill artificially inflates the value of the credit, resulting in a reduction of the revenue stream to local government to pay for the infrastructure. By inflating the value of credits, it throws more of the cost of new infrastructure onto new development and the general taxpaying public.  

Private Providers/Inspectors
The bill shortens the time-frame from 30 days to 5 days for a local government to review a permit application from a private provider.If the local government fails to provide notice within five days, then the permit application shall be deemed approved.
Oppose Amendment 726475 to CS/CS/HB 7103 (Ingoglia)

This amendment has been filed to CS/CS/HB 7103 that would prohibit local governments from charging fees for building inspections if the owner or contractor hires a private provider. The amendment would also allow owners and contractors to pay no fees related to building permitting requirements when using a private provider.

Please ask Representatives to OPPOSE this Amendment.
