House Committee Passes Senate Bill to Create Military Land Use Control Commissions

Today the House Defense & Veterans' Affairs Committee reported SB 2222 by Van de Putte favorably after its passage in the Senate on May 8th. This bill would allow a county with unincorporated area and a city with extraterritorial jurisdiction located within 5 miles of a military installation to create a “regional military sustainability commission” (RMSC). This commission would establish "compatible development standards" and review new projects within 2 miles of a military installation (3 miles if created during flight training).
