The bill amends existing laws regarding municipal planning in Arkansas, specifically focusing on the procedures for changing zoning or district designations of properties. It introduces a new administrative procedure that allows property owners to request changes to their property's zoning or district designation, provided that the request aligns with the adopted land use plan. This administrative change is exempt from the more extensive requirements outlined in sections 14-56-422 and 14-56-423, and decisions made under this new procedure can be appealed to the municipality's planning commission.

Additionally, the bill modifies sections 14-56-422 and 14-56-423 to clarify that the standard procedures for adopting and altering plans, ordinances, and regulations do not apply to the new administrative changes established in section 14-56-416(d). This ensures that while the general process for municipal planning remains intact, there is a streamlined approach for property owners seeking zoning changes that are consistent with existing land use plans.
