The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend existing statutes related to county planning and development by allowing county boards of supervisors (BOS) to authorize administrative personnel to review and approve certain planning documents, including assurances, without the need for a public hearing. This change would expand the scope of administrative review beyond just site plans and development plans to include assurances, thereby streamlining the approval process. Additionally, the bill specifies that individuals authorized by the county ordinance, rather than solely the BOS, may review and approve subdivision plats.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a definition for "license" and makes various technical and conforming changes to existing language. It clarifies that the approval of subdivision plats can be conducted by either the BOS or an authorized person, and it allows for the waiver of preliminary plat requirements under certain conditions. The bill also emphasizes the importance of water supply commitments for subdivisions, ensuring that any approved plat reflects compliance with water resource regulations. Overall, these updates aim to enhance the efficiency of the planning and development process at the county level.
