Bill Summary

AN ACT amending section 11-812, arizona revised statutes; relating to county zoning.

AI Summary

This bill amends Arizona law to allow for the construction and operation of small modular reactors, which are smaller, more standardized nuclear reactors, by adding them as an exception to existing zoning restrictions. Specifically, it permits these reactors if the owner or operator has obtained an early site permit from a federal agency, received design certification, and provided proof of these approvals, along with evidence of the completed public notice and comment period, to the county board of supervisors. The bill also makes minor technical changes to existing language regarding agricultural purposes and aggregate mining regulations, clarifying that certain food establishments associated with agritourism and specific rodeo events are not considered general agricultural purposes, and refining language related to the state mine inspector's role in approving aggregate mining zoning regulations.
