Arizona HB2494 amends county zoning regulations to exempt certain aggregate mining operations from restrictions.

Arizona HB2494 modifies county zoning laws to exempt aggregate mining operations from certain restrictions. The bill allows counties to establish aggregate mining zoning districts in areas with known reserves or existing operations. These districts can regulate aspects like dust control, height, setbacks, and noise. The board of supervisors can jointly adopt regulations with the state mine inspector, which must be approved by the inspector. The bill also creates an aggregate mining operations recommendation committee to mediate disputes and recommend zoning regulations.
