Spectrum: Partisan Bill (Democrat 1-0)
Status: Introduced on February 26 2009 - 25% progression, died in committee
Action: 2009-02-26 - To House Political Subdivisions
Pending: House Political Subdivisions Committee

The purpose of this bill is to provide additional requirements and conditions on annexation without an election or by minor boundary adjustment in counties that have adopted a county-wide zoning ordinance and have designated urban growth boundaries around the municipalities within that county. It requires that property to be annexed outside the municipality's urban growth boundary must be contiguous. Property outside the urban growth boundary requires county commission approval for annexation. Property within the municipality's designated urban growth boundary does not require county commission approval for annexation and does not have to be contiguous. It also requires a public hearing and signage notice and review by the county commission for land being annexed outside the designated urban growth boundary. The power to establish and a definition for Urban Growth Boundary has been added to the WV Land Use Code.
