municipal general plan; adoption

HB 2080 requires Arizona municipalities with territory near military airports or facilities (as defined in §28-8461) to consider land use compatibility with military operations as a "matter of statewide concern" when adopting or amending general plans. It mandates written public participation procedures, including broad dissemination of proposals, written comment opportunities, and public hearings, with additional hearings required in larger cities (over 25,000 residents). The bill also requires municipalities to consult with military airports, adjacent jurisdictions, planning agencies, and the Attorney General (for plans affecting military noise zones) before adopting or amending general plans. These changes apply directly to municipalities near military installations and aim to coordinate land use planning with military operations.
