76-3-211 . Agricultural covenant -- change in use.
(1)A change in use for anything other than agricultural purposes subjects a division of land that received an exemption under 76-3-207 (1)(c) to subdivision review under parts 5 and 6 of this chapter. However, the governing body, in its discretion, may revoke the covenant provided for in 76-3-207 (1)(c) for the purposes of this chapter and the division may proceed without subdivision review if:
(a)the original lot lines are restored through aggregation of the covenanted land prior to or in conjunction with the revoking of the covenant;
(b)a government or public entity seeks to use the land for public purposes as defined in the governing body's review criteria pursuant to 76-3-504 (1)(p); or
(c)the land is annexed into a municipality.
(2)If a governing body proposes to revoke a covenant pursuant to subsection (1)(b), the governing body shall hold a public hearing. Within 15 days of the hearing, the governing body shall issue written findings of fact and a decision based on the record. If the governing body approves the revoking of the covenant, the approval must be recorded with the clerk and recorder.
(3)The revocation of a covenant pursuant to this section does not affect sanitary restrictions imposed under Title 76, chapter 4.
