shoreland zoning
Under current law, a county must enact a shoreland zoning ordinance for all
shorelands in its unincorporated area and the ordinance may not regulate a matter
more restrictively than the matter is regulated by shoreland zoning standards
established by DNR by rule. Current law defines a shoreland to be an area within
a specified distance from the edge of a navigable water.
Under current law, generally, a shoreland zoning standard and a county
shoreland zoning ordinance may not require any approval or impose any fee or
mitigation requirement for, or otherwise prohibit or regulate, the maintenance,
repair, replacement, restoration, rebuilding, or remodeling of all or any part of
certain structures if the activity does not expand the footprint of the existing
structure. Under current law, those structures include a nonconforming structure
and a structure of which any part is legally located in the shoreland setback area by
operation of a variance, and certain specified structures that were legally

constructed in the shoreland setback area; the bill adds a building or structure in
violation of a county shoreland zoning ordinance that may not be enforced because
of a ten-year statute of limitations.

enact as follows:
