What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Generally, under current law, a political subdivision may not impose a setback requirement for a mobile service support structure. This bill grants a political subdivision limited authority to impose a setback requirement on the placement of such a structure. Under the bill, a requirement could apply only to a structure that is constructed on land that is zoned for residential use. In addition, the setback requirement must be based on the height of the proposed structure, and the requirement may not exceed the height of the proposed structure.
