39-201 — Other in Surprise, AZ
This case involves a text amendment to allow Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in Surprise through a new Battery (B) Overlay zoning district. The proposed amendment establishes development standards, setback requirements (under consideration at 100-1,500 feet from residences), and permitting processes for utility-scale energy storage projects. Developers should monitor the final setback distance decision and operational standards, as they will significantly impact site feasibility and project economics.
