Development agreements — contracts between a property owner and a city or county spelling out what can be built on a piece of land and how — would take priority over conflicting local land use rules under this bill, for agreements entered into by either a municipality or a county. The bill would also protect property owners who had a development agreement approved by a county before their land became part of a city, either through incorporation or annexation: the new city could not adopt temporary land use rules that limit or impair the rights spelled out in that agreement, could not otherwise restrict the development or use of the property as specified in the agreement, and could not refuse to provide the property the same municipal services it provides to other properties in the city, or any services the agreement specifies a county or municipality will provide. The bill also clarifies that a later incorporation or annexation does not affect a development agreement or land use application a county already approved.
