AI Summary
This bill addresses water supply requirements for residential lease communities in Arizona's active management areas, specifically focusing on building permits and water supply assurances. The bill requires municipalities and county boards of supervisors to only approve building permits for residential lease communities (defined as six or more detached residential dwelling units intended for lease) if the applicant has obtained either a certificate of assured water supply from the state's Department of Water Resources or a written commitment of water service from a city, town, or private water company designated as having an assured water supply. Additionally, applicants must pay applicable fees and provide proof of fee payment. The bill includes an exemption for existing or planned residential lease communities that applied for or received zoning entitlements on or before September 30, 2025. The legislation also makes various technical amendments to existing water and land use statutes, including adding definitions, adjusting fee structures, and modifying reporting requirements for water conservation districts. These changes aim to ensure sustainable water resources and responsible development in Arizona's water-constrained regions.
