About Pending Ordinances
The “Pending Ordinances” Advisory Opinion topic relates to an exception to the Vested Rights Rule. If a local government has already initiated ordinance changes when a land use application is filed, the applicant may not claim a vested right to approval of the application under the ordinance language being changed.
