May 25, 2013 1 Volume 7 I Issue 10 <br />Zoning Bulletin <br />NEW YORK <br />A proposed state law, Assembly Bill 5360 and Senate Bill 2384, <br />would reportedly "exempt agricultural facilities from local zoning <br />laws." Under the proposed state regulations, "any association of farm- <br />ers may lease their grounds for exhibitions and events" and "provisions <br />of any special or local law or municipal ordinance . . . shall not apply <br />to any exhibition or entertainment" held on the grounds. <br />Source: Daily Freeman; www.dailvfreeman.com <br />TEXAS <br />The state Senate approved legislation that "would provide zoning <br />protection to Austin neighborhoods when the state develops its land <br />with public -private partnerships." One bill would require "the state to <br />submit plans for public -private projects on state land —other than the <br />Capitol complex —to municipal zoning," allowing for appeal to a <br />seven -member board that includes a majority of state officials. <br />Source: American -Statesman; www.statesman.com <br />12 © 2013 Thomson Reuters <br />
