Tennessee SB2582 amends zoning laws to restrict downzoning and establish compensation for property owners. The bill defines "downzone" as a zoning action that reduces permitted density or introduces procedural barriers. It prohibits downzoning unless necessary for public health or safety, compliance with laws, or nuisance prevention. Property owners can seek relief, including compensation for loss of fair market value, if downzoning occurs without proper justification. The bill also mandates compensation for property owners if downzoning reduces their property's fair market value.
