WHAT THE BILL DID: The final vetoed version would allow a county BOS to adopt ordinances and regulations allowing small land subdivisions of six to ten parcels if all parcels: a; are two acres or more in size; and b; are not subject to assured water supply or adequate water supply requirements, prescribe requirements for an applicant to propose a small land subdivision, and direct a county BOS to notify the ADRE upon authorization of use for a small land subdivision.

WHY IT MATTERED: The practical reason for this bill was to give Arizonans and public officials a defined option for small land subdivision under state law. It would allow a county BOS to adopt ordinances and regulations allowing small land subdivisions of six to ten parcels if all parcels: a. are two acres or more in size; and b. are not subject to assured water supply or adequate water supply requirements, and would also prescribe requirements for an applicant to propose a small land subdivision, rather than leave the current rule unchanged.
