Bill > HB2337

This bill, concerning county zoning in Arizona, establishes new requirements for approving permits and zoning changes for wind and solar projects in counties with fewer than 500,000 residents. Specifically, it mandates that any approval by the commission (a county planning or zoning board) for a conditional use permit, special use permit, or other zoning change or variance for a proposed wind or solar project will only be considered valid if all voting members of the commission are present for the vote and if that vote is unanimous among all present commission members. Furthermore, the bill states that if there is a vacancy on the commission, it cannot vote on such an application until the vacancy is filled, and if a commission member is absent, the commission cannot vote until the full commission is present.
