board of supervisors; actions; delay

SB 1317 amends Arizona's rezoning rules to clarify notice requirements and voting thresholds for county boards of supervisors. It requires counties to notify adjacent property owners (within 300 feet) and others affected by rezoning proposals via mail, newspaper, and physical posting before hearings. The bill establishes that if 20% of property owners in the affected area protest a rezoning, the board must approve it with a three-fourths vote (instead of a simple majority) in counties with five or more supervisors. It also adds specific notification steps for areas near military airports and mandates counties to create a citizen review process for rezoning applications. This bill directly affects property owners, counties, and developers involved in land use changes.
