Bill Summary
Local authority on requiring water consumption in zoning ordinance; industrial and commercial facilities. Authorizes a locality to include in its zoning ordinance provisions for (i) requiring proposed industrial and commercial facilities to submit water consumption estimates and (ii) considering water consumption from public resources when making rezoning and special use permit decisions related to such facilities.
AI Summary
This bill allows local governments to require that new industrial and commercial facilities provide estimates of their water usage. It also permits these local governments to consider the amount of water that would be consumed from public resources when making decisions about rezoning or issuing special use permits for such facilities. This gives localities more authority to manage water resources when approving new businesses.
