A planned community is a development that includes property owned and operated by a nonprofit corporation or unincorporated association of owners that is created pursuant to a recorded declaration for managing, maintaining or improving the property (A.R.S. §§ 33-1202, 33-1802).

2) a year in which the district member's actual surface water supply is less than 80% of the district member's normal surface water supply.
A district member means a municipality that contains a service area and petitions for the formation of a district or petitions for the expansion of the groundwater replenishment district (A.R.S. § 48-4401).
