HCS/HB 795 - This act allows cities, towns, and villages within Clay County, Franklin County, Boone County, Jasper County or Jackson County, to form a Theater, Cultural Arts, and Entertainment District. Such counties and St. Charles County may also form such a district. Counties, cities, towns, and villages that adopt transect-based zoning may also form such districts. Currently, only municipalities in St. Charles are allowed to form such a district. This act requires a Theater, Cultural Arts, and Entertainment District to be a minimum of 25 contiguous acres in size, rather than 50 acres. This act requires the governing body of the city or county in which a district is proposed to pass a resolution describing the district when a petition for its creation is filed. It specifies that a district may be created to fund and provide infrastructure. This act states that if there is a conflict between the zoning or subdivision ordinances of a municipality that are based upon transect-based zoning and the provisions of any ordinance of another political subdivision with respect to street configuration, the municipality's ordinances shall prevail. This act allows the cities of Augusta, Carrollton, Chilicothe, Liberty, Miami, Missouri City, and Pleasant Hill to impose a transient guest tax of up to 5%. SUSAN HENDERSON MOORE
