Summary

The Wyoming Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s decision upholding Albany County’s 2023 Aquifer Protection Overlay Zone amendments, including the 35-acre minimum lot size. It held that the County had authority to adopt the regulations, the differing overlay-zone amendment procedures satisfied equal protection, and the amendments were not arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or contrary to law. The Court also held that arbitrary-and-capricious review applies to agency legislative action.
