    "We want to decrease the density of new homes in parts of the county by increasing the minimum lot size for on-site sewage requirements. Will this require a written report prior to public notice?"

    Is the county required to prepare a written takings impact assessment before increasing the minimum lot size for on-site sewage facilities?

    No, the county does not need to prepare a takings impact assessment. Government Code 2007.003(b)(11)(B) exempts on-site sewage facilities regulations from this requirement.
