This bill amends K.S.A. 12-749 to restrict the authority of cities in Kansas regarding planning and zoning regulations. Specifically, it eliminates the ability of a city to apply subdivision regulations to land located outside of the city limits, including land within three miles of the city, which was previously allowed under the law. The bill also repeals K.S.A. 12-715b, 12-715c, and 12-715d, which may have contained related provisions.

The amended law now stipulates that a city planning commission can only apply subdivision regulations to land within the city itself. The bill retains provisions for the establishment of subdivision regulations, which may include various aspects such as street location, flood protection, and stormwater runoff management. Additionally, it outlines the process for adopting or amending subdivision regulations, including the requirement for public hearings and the governing body's approval process. Overall, the bill aims to clarify the jurisdiction of city planning commissions and streamline the regulatory framework for land use within city boundaries.
