"This bill would impose upon municipalities the liability in terms of what the City would be responsible for should its citizens decide to initiate a zoning issue. It would compromise the right of initiative." Leary stated that it not only concerned zoning, it also states that "any land use regulation" would forever be precluded from alteration any land use regulation applicable to the property which includes subdivision regulation, site design, landscaping, slope, soil, sign, drainage requirements, and set-back and height restrictions." If this bill were to pass, any change that the City made from that point on would not apply to any property that was zoned prior to the passing of this bill creating totally different standards applying to different people over a course of time. 2
